Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other search detail is entered into a search tool, that query may be sent to the outside provider that powers the tool. Appomattox County Inmate Population does not keep those search terms in its own local record system.
Messages
If you send an email or message about the site, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it and respond. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law, court order, or another valid legal process.
