Sending Letters to the Adams County Jail

Mail for people held in Corning goes to the jail on Davis Avenue. Address the envelope like this:

Full name, booking number
Adams County Jail
901 Davis Avenue
Corning, IA 50841

Make sure the envelope says Adams County Jail; Davis Avenue is only the street. Put your name and return address on it. Planning to send photos, cards, books, magazines or legal mail, or wondering whether mail is scanned? Anything beyond a simple letter is worth a quick call to 641-322-4444 first.

Keep money out of the envelope. Missing the booking number? Our Adams County inmate search guide shows how to get it.

What Can Go in the Mail to the Adams County Jail

The Adams County Sheriff's Office decides which postcards, photos, publications and books may come in for people held in Corning, and those rules can change. Before sending anything beyond a plain handwritten letter, call the Adams County Jail at 641-322-4444 and ask what will be accepted and how it must be shipped.

A letter that breaks a jail rule may be returned to the sender or thrown away, so a short call first saves time and postage.
