Booking at the Appanoose County Jail, Step by Step

People arrested in Appanoose County are booked at the jail in the Appanoose County Law Center, a building completed in 2022. These are the stages most county jails follow; for the status of one person, call the jail at 641-437-7106.

  1. Identification. Officers deliver the arrestee to jail staff, who confirm identity and look for open warrants or detainers.
  2. Fingerprints with a photo. Iowa requires prints from everyone taken into custody on a serious misdemeanor, aggravated misdemeanor or felony charge (Iowa Code section 690.2), and a photo is commonly taken along with them.
  3. Search and stored items. The person is searched, and personal property is inventoried and put in storage.
  4. Screening. An intake health and safety screening usually covers medicines, medical conditions and any urgent needs.
  5. Contact with family or counsel. Under section 804.20, staff must promptly let the person phone or meet with family or counsel, including calls needed to hire a lawyer.
  6. Charges and release information. The booking record lists the charges, and depending on the offense a bond from the statewide schedule may be posted at once; our Appanoose County bail guide has the details.
  7. Court in Appanoose County. Those not released see an Eighth Judicial District magistrate promptly. Follow up with our Appanoose County court guide and Iowa Courts Online.

For how long intake is taking, prescriptions or getting property back, the Law Center jail at 641-437-7106 is the number to call.
