Arrests and Booking

What Booking Looks Like at the Bremer County Jail

Every person an officer brings in is received by Bremer County jail staff, who also handle releases. These steps pair Iowa statutes with the sheriff's own description of jail duties; for one person's status, phone 319-352-5400 and press 2.

  1. Hand-off from the officer. Waverly jailers accept the prisoner and log who the person is and what the charges are.
  2. Fingerprinting. Iowa Code section 690.2 calls for prints on felony and serious or aggravated misdemeanor arrests, and the jail also handles fingerprinting for the sheriff's office.
  3. A call out. Section 804.20 lets an arrestee reach family or a lawyer without unnecessary delay; Reliance shows booking calls as a feature at the Bremer County Jail.
  4. Device assignment. Inmates receive an assigned tablet, used among other things for scanned letters.
  5. Visitor list. Only people on an inmate's visitation list may visit, so friends and family should ask the inmate to add them.
  6. First court appearance. Iowa Code 804.21 requires a prompt initial appearance for anyone kept in custody. Jail staff help schedule court dates, medical appointments and visits.

Release can follow bail, a court-ordered release or the end of the case; the Bremer County bail page explains posting bail.
