From Arrest to Court in Butler County

Officers making a Butler County arrest deliver the person to the 12-capacity lockup at 428 Sixth Street, Allison, IA 50602. Iowa statutes and the sheriff's own description of the jail shape each step of the process, and the sheriff's non-emergency number, 319-267-2410, is the place to ask where a particular arrestee stands.

  1. Clothing and basics. According to the sheriff, each person received at the Allison jail is issued a jail uniform, deodorant and a toothbrush.
  2. Fingerprinting in Allison. Iowa Code section 690.2 directs that anyone arrested on a felony, or on a serious or aggravated misdemeanor, be fingerprinted.
  3. The first phone call. Reliance's booking-call service is switched on in Allison, matching the right Iowa Code section 804.20 gives every arrestee to reach relatives or counsel quickly.
  4. Housing. The five cells take men, women and any juvenile whose case was waived into adult court.
  5. The magistrate. Section 804.21 then has the arrestee taken in front of a Second District magistrate with no avoidable delay.
  6. Meals and commissary. Breakfast, lunch and supper come hot, and commissary ordering opens twice weekly.

A person leaves the Allison jail on bail, by court order or when the case or sentence ends; the Butler County bail page explains how bail is posted.
