Writing to Someone in the Clay County Jail

Raveling's Jail Division gives its West 4th Street building as the mailing point, so a Spencer letter is addressed this way:

[Inmate's full name as booked]
Clay County Jail
3115 W. 4th Street
Spencer, IA 51301

Put a return name and address on every envelope. Rules on enclosures, greeting cards, publications and delivery days can be checked by calling the jail at 712-264-4242. Bills or a personal check sealed inside correspondence can go missing, so families fund accounts using the Spencer money guide instead.
