Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar query into a search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Adams County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and reply information may be kept long enough to respond and maintain ordinary business records. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless required by law.

Like most websites, this site may collect technical information when a page loads.

Links to Other Websites
This site links to official resources such as the Adams County jail page at co.adams.wa.gov/181, the roster and release page at co.adams.wa.gov/182, and the Adams County public records portal at adamscountywa.nextrequest.com. It also links to state, federal, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls.
