Information You Provide
Search Queries
Names, locations, or other terms entered into a search box may be sent to the third-party provider that powers that tool. Jefferson County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer it. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
