Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you enter a name or place into an embedded search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider operating the tool. Madison County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or a message through a contact form, we retain it as needed to answer. We do not share that message outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.
