Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, state, or similar search detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Linn County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or submit a message, we use the information you provide to review and respond to that message. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a legal requirement calls for it.
