Cedar County Jail, 711 E. South St., Tipton, IA 52772 · 563-886-2121
Per the Cedar County Sheriff's published visitation rules, each inmate gets two general visits a week, with privileged, service and clergy visits outside that count.
The inmate tells visitors the slot, which can change with a move to another unit or bunk.
Up to two visitors 18 or older may come, contact visits are not allowed, and each guest fills in a registration form and shows a state photo card with full name and birth date.
After registering, guests stay in the lobby until a jailer directs them to the visiting area, where Cedar County permits no physical contact. The Jail Administrator or the officer on duty may refuse any visitor believed to threaten security, a visit in progress can be stopped at once for a security reason, and the jail documents each refusal.
Cedar County's general visits take place at the Law Enforcement Center on South Street in Tipton, where the sheriff allows two 30-minute visits each week for an inmate in good standing. The InmateSales account a family uses for CPC phone time plays no part in these visits, which run through the lobby registration form and a state photo ID.
