1. Service Description

LocateInmate.online ("the Site," "we," "us," or "our") is a free public resource operated by Affordable Bail Bonds, a licensed Arizona bail bond company established in 1968. The Site aggregates direct links to official county sheriff and detention center inmate lookup databases throughout the State of Arizona.

This Site provides access to publicly available inmate information sourced from official government databases maintained by Arizona county sheriff's offices, the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation & Reentry (ADCRR), and related agencies. No private investigation services are performed. We do not create, store, or host inmate records. All inmate data accessed through this Site is retrieved directly from official government systems.

The bail bond services referenced on this Site are provided by Affordable Bail Bonds separately and are subject to their own service agreement.

Important notice regarding arrests: An arrest record does not constitute proof of guilt. All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
