:Apparently Wiki believes that all federal mugshots are public domain, but believes that states and local governments may assert copyright in their own mugshots.  I disagree, but I have no idea how to persuade Wiki's powers-that-be that they are wrong. I wish I could tell you whether the mugshots you upload will be deleted, but I have given up on trying to upload photos myself because I can't figure out who deletes them, or why, or how to appeal the deletion.  It's been my experience that Wikipedia and Wiki Commons are very user-unfriendly about uploading photos.  —  /
