Editorial Standards
InmateLink uses conservative wording, source review, clear disclaimers, and correction paths.
Editorial principles
- Use clear, direct language that helps families and providers understand next steps without overstating certainty.
- Use official sources first for facility, court, provider, licensing, and agency information.
- Leave unsupported fields out of public copy instead of guessing, normalizing, or filling gaps with assumptions.
- Keep directory, marketplace, legal, privacy, and sponsored-placement disclaimers visible where users may make decisions.
Claims we avoid
- Do not publish invented credentials, testimonials, media mentions, review scores, user counts, case outcomes, or provider rankings.
- Do not imply LVMPD, court, jail, facility, law enforcement, or government endorsement.
- Do not present a listing update request, provider contact, or visibility request as final public approval.
- Do not present general legal information as legal advice.
Review workflow
- Public directory and marketplace copy should point back to source URLs or plain review notes.
- Uncertain, stale, or conflicting fields stay in review rather than being promoted to public-facing claims.
- Sponsored placements must be labeled as advertising and must not imply endorsement.
- Users and vendors can request corrections or listing updates when public information appears inaccurate or incomplete.
