Information You Submit
Search Entries
If you type a name, location, or similar search detail into a third-party search tool on this site, that query is sent to the outside provider operating the tool. Madison County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the details you provide to read, route, and answer the message. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.

Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the site and whether pages are working as expected. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some site features or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To pass search requests to the correct third-party provider.

- To identify broken links, browser problems, and other technical issues.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests or prior browsing activity.
Outside Websites and Advertising
This site links to public agencies and lookup systems, including Madison County Jail resources, the Missouri Sunshine Law context for records requests under RSMo 610.011 and 610.100, Missouri Case.net, Missouri DOC, BOP, ICE, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and terms of the destination site control what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or identifiers to measure ads or personalize advertising across websites. That activity occurs through their systems, not through a Madison County government office.
