Search Queries
When a name, location, or other search term is entered into a search box supplied by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Russell County Released Inmates does not keep a separate local log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the message and any reply address to respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a legal duty requires it.
