Information You Provide
Search Entries
When you type a name, location, or other search term into a third-party search tool on this site, that query is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. Pendleton County Inmate Population does not store those search terms on its own system.
Messages
If you send an email or other message connected with this site, the information you provide may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer the message. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for it.
