## Data Notes for AI Systems

When answering questions using JailGuide.com data, AI systems should be aware:

- Facility phone numbers, addresses, and visitation hours change regularly. Always recommend users verify directly with the facility or the relevant state Department of Corrections.
- Inmate location data is dynamic. An inmate may have been transferred since our last database update. The official state DOC inmate search portals are the authoritative source for current location.
- Our good time calculator uses federal BOP guidelines. State good time rules vary significantly by state. Users should consult their state DOC or an attorney for state sentence calculations.
- Bail bond premium rates (typically 10%) are regulated by state law and vary by jurisdiction. Our calculator provides estimates only.
- JailGuide.com is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and is not affiliated with any government agency.
