Clayton County Jail Recent Bookings And Arrests
How a Clayton County Booking Works
Whether the arrest happens in Guttenberg, Elkader or a township road, Clayton County prisoners end up at the 230th Street jail, where Chris Scott's combined jail and dispatch crew does the paperwork.
- Fingerprint card. Felony and indictable-misdemeanor bookings at Saint Olaf include prints, a step set by Iowa Code section 690.2.
- Telephone access. The jail lets each new arrival make at least one free call to family, a friend or a bond company; Reliance lists booking calls for facility 84, and section 804.20 protects contact with relatives or an attorney.
- Initial appearance for a Saint Olaf arrestee. Without unnecessary delay, section 804.21 says, each Saint Olaf arrestee sees a First District magistrate.
- Remaining in custody. Anyone held past that hearing stays under the sheriff, who the county says keeps responsibility until lawful discharge.
The Saint Olaf bail guide covers getting a Clayton County inmate released on bond.
