Food Packages for Inmates at the Adams County Jail
Food from outside the Adams County Jail
Hot meals, restaurant food and groceries from home are typically not allowed into Iowa county jails, so Corning inmates eat the jail's meals plus whatever they buy from commissary. Food and snacks packed by family, whether mailed to 901 Davis Avenue or carried to the front desk, are not accepted. Families help instead by funding the Corning account, and the inmate shops the commissary list with that balance. Davis Avenue jailers (641-322-4444) can verify whether any prepackaged food bundle program is open this month.
