Arrests and Booking

What Booking Looks Like at the Audubon County Jail

Arrestees are booked at the 12-bed jail in the Audubon County Courthouse, 318 Leroy Street, Suite 4, where, according to the county, dispatchers watch the booking room on camera along with the rest of the jail. The steps below are typical of Iowa county jails.

  1. Intake and identity. Officers bring the person into the booking room, where staff confirm identity and check records for warrants or holds.
  2. Prints, then a photograph. Prints are taken for any felony arrest and for misdemeanors more serious than simple ones, as Iowa Code section 690.2 directs, and a photograph is customarily snapped then too.
  3. Search and property. A search follows, and personal belongings are recorded and secured until release.
  4. Health questions. Intake normally includes questions about medication, illness, injuries and mental health.
  5. Reaching family or an attorney. Soon after arrival, Iowa Code section 804.20 guarantees the chance to talk with relatives or a chosen attorney by phone or in person, plus reasonable calls to retain counsel.
  6. Bail on the booking charges. Charges go on file at booking, some can be bonded out immediately under the statewide schedule, and our Audubon County bond page explains the choices.
  7. The magistrate's hearing. Anyone still held appears before a Fourth Judicial District magistrate promptly. From there, Iowa Courts Online and our Audubon County court page follow the case.

Booking times, medication arrangements and property pickup are all questions for the courthouse jail at 712-563-2631.
