Information You Enter
Search Terms
When a visitor types a name, county, or location into a search tool on this site, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Hampshire County Inmate Population does not store or log those search terms on its own system.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.
