Sending Mail to the Boone County Jail
The Boone County Jail lets inmates receive and accept mail. The sheriff asks that letters be addressed in this order:
Boone County Jail
(Inmate name)
1019 W. Mamie Eisenhower Ave.
Boone, IA 50036
Include a return address with your full name. Iowa county jails typically accept letters, cards without glitter or electronics, and a few printed photos; other enclosures are typically returned.
