Information You Submit
Search Queries
When a name, location, or other term is entered into a search tool on this site, the query is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Requests
If you email or send a message about Simpson County Jail, MDOC, court records, or another custody resource, the message may be kept long enough to review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
