The Alachua County pilot
The pilot starts with one county in Florida. Today it holds 5 facts, all from the jail's own pages. Marion County is a draft in progress and is not shown. The plan: every public county page.
The facts, as checked
Each fact matched the Sheriff's Office website or posted policy on its check date. None is confirmed by the agency, and none carries the Still Current stamp.
Snapshot made , less than a day old as of . 5 of 5 facts are shown; 0 withheld. A fact is withheld once its check is older than 7 days.
Each result lists its checks in words. There is no badge, because a badge would look like an agency approval.

What a day of reading found
33 public websites in the pilot's scope: directories and guides, courts and county offices, universities, bail bond sites, law firms and news.
- 120claims checked. 59 matched the source, 13 differed, 11 pointed to a dead page, and 37 could not be checked against a source.Read Oct 22, 2026
- 12 of 33sites had a difference or a dead link.Read Oct 22, 2026
- 9sites matched every claim we checked.Read Oct 22, 2026
- 9 of 27links lead nowhere: 8 answer “not found” and 1 domain is gone. One more link refused the check and is not counted.Re-checked Oct 27, 2026
We do not name the private sites. A difference means two pages disagreed when we read them; it is not a finding about who is at fault.
Where the facts come from
All 5 facts come from three public pages:
- acso.us/inmate-visitation/: phone hours, internet visit price and internet visit hours.
- acso.us/bail-bonding-and-release-information/: bond posting hours.
- public.powerdms.com/ALACHUA/documents/920: the posted property release policy.
What the pilot is not
- It is not the agency. Nothing here is confirmed by the agency, and the agency has not endorsed this project.
- The live checker is a private pilot. This site shows its results; visitors cannot run checks here.
- It is not legal advice. Confirm with the source before you act.
