When a name, county, or other lookup detail is typed into a search tool, that request is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Brown County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email or send a message to the site, we keep the information needed to read it and respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
