Clinton County Jail Recent Bookings And Arrests
Arrests and Booking
Booking at the Clinton County Law Center
Sheriff's deputies and municipal officers across Clinton County all deliver arrestees to one place, the jail inside the Law Center at 241 Seventh Avenue North, where Diesch's staff process each new arrival.
- Prints for indictable offenses. Because section 690.2 requires prints for felonies and indictable misdemeanors, Seventh Avenue North intake staff capture them before housing.
- The no-cost booking call. Diesch's intake team lets every Law Center arrival dial out once without paying, typically to line up bond or tell family, while Iowa Code 804.20 independently protects contact with relatives and a lawyer.
- First stop in court after a Law Center booking. A Law Center arrestee goes before the magistrate without unnecessary delay, as Iowa Code section 804.21 directs for every arrest in the state.
- General population. Anyone not released stays in Greenwalt's custody, and under the sheriff's visitation rules an inmate becomes eligible for lobby visits only after reaching general population.
For what happens after intake, including posting money from the inmate account, read the Clinton County bail guide.
