Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Ingham County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy controls its receipt and use of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact-form message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share a message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
