Inmate profiles aren’t automatically private.

Inmate profiles aren’t automatically private.
Privacy is controlled by the person who created the inmate profile. They have the option to make it private, which also removes it from search visibility online.
So if a profile is private, it means the account owner chose those settings, not the system or the facility.
