Information You Enter
Search Terms
If you type a name, location, or other search detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider that powers the tool. Prince George's County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a message through a contact method, we use the information you provide to read, route, and answer the message. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
