Almost every county's press release site uses the same software, but each has marked differences in what is chosen to be presented. After the general election last November, the Colbert County site ceased adding new prisoners to its public jail roster; however, it did remove those who had been released. Apparently Colbert also stopped offering (selling?) to such local web pages as the Quad-Cities Daily.
Now the Colbert County Sheriff's Office has removed the names of all prisoners from its site. Why? New arrests are still published in national online data bases that presumably pay big bucks for them.
This is a move backward for the county. We hope it's corrected soon. We need more transparency, not less.

probably because they break the 6th amendment and these people who are in jail aren't even aware their 6th amendment has been broken. i guess hell would break lose with lawsuits once people figured it out.
