Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other detail into a search tool, that request may be sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Madison County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own records.
Messages to This Site
If you email us or send a contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.

Links Away From This Site
Madison County Inmate Population links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, court portals, ADOC resources, VINELink, federal locators, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the other site's privacy notice and terms control how your information is handled.

- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards for the information handled through this site. No website, email system, or internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so we cannot promise breach-proof protection.
