Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other detail into a search tool supplied by a third-party provider, that search request is sent to the provider operating the tool. Cabell County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we use the information in that message to read it and respond. We do not share contact messages outside the organization unless a legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
