Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other lookup term is entered into a search tool on this site, the query is sent to the third-party provider that powers that tool. Ripley County Inmate Population does not store those search terms on its own server.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization except when required by law, legal process, or a valid government order.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, technical information may be collected when pages load or links are clicked.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser type and browser version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website or search engine, if one is available.
- Date and time stamps tied to site activity.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support analytics or advertising. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and responsive.
- To send search requests to the partner tool selected by the visitor.
- To understand which Ripley County pages are useful or confusing.
- To diagnose broken links, performance issues, and technical errors.
- To display advertising that may be based on browsing signals.
Official Links and Other Websites
This site links to public resources such as the Ripley County Sheriff's Office, current inmate list, daily arrest report, Ripley County Clerk, Indiana MyCase, the Indiana Department of Correction locator, VINELink, the BOP locator, ICE ODLS, and other official or third-party tools. Once you leave this site, the destination site's privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and deliver interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through their platforms, not through an official Indiana APRA request process, the sheriff public-records request form, or another county record system.
Who May Receive Information

- Search partners that process lookup queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies acting under a subpoena, court order, warrant, or other valid legal demand under Indiana or federal law.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect site information, but no internet-connected system can be promised as breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending information they would not want transmitted through ordinary online communications.
