Search Terms
When a name, location, or other term is entered into a third-party search feature, that request is handled by the provider operating the tool. Mobile County Released Inmates does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or submit a message, we use the information in that message to read it, respond, and manage follow-up. We do not share contact messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
