Appanoose County Jail Inmate Search: Finding Someone at the Centerville Law Center

Appanoose County's statewide lookup is vinelink.vineapps.com: pick Iowa, enter the surname with a given name or use an offender number, and a match held on Dewey Road reads Appanoose County Jail with its custody status. On Iowa Courts Online, pick Appanoose County and open the case to see the charge list, bond, date filed and next scheduled hearing. VINE's free alerts, by phone, text or email, fire when Centerville releases or transfers the person, which is the fastest way to learn of a move. A person picked up on a warrant from Wayne, Davis or Monroe County may sit in Centerville only briefly before transport, so search again if the name disappears within a day. When a judge sends a Centerville defendant to prison, the Corrections offender search lists which institution received them. Keep the full legal name and birth date handy, since Reliance accounts and letters both depend on them.
