Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you enter a name, location, or other search detail into a partner search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Durham County Inmate Population does not store those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it and respond. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement compels disclosure.
