Adam Infante, Dallas County's sheriff, oversees both his administrative offices and the county's Correctional Facility from one campus address, 28985 Thin Blue Line Lane on the edge of Adel. The jail desk answers at 515-993-5815, while the sheriff's business line, 515-993-4771, keeps administrative hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
According to the county's Jail Division page, prisoners on Thin Blue Line Lane get three meals a day brought to their cells, with special diets accommodated. Health care comes through Advanced Correctional Healthcare (ACH), which supplies a jail nurse and doctor; an ill inmate files a written medical request, and doctor, hospital, ambulance, pharmacy and dental charges are billed to the inmate's commissary account, running a deficit that later deposits pay down.
Infante's staff route video visits, calls and electronic messages through CIDNET and account deposits through JailATM, online, by phone or at a kiosk in the building. Infante's lobby and home video hours sit in the Adel visiting schedule, and JailATM's online, phone and kiosk routes in the Thin Blue Line Lane deposit guide.
After arrest, individuals are processed at Dallas County Correctional Facility, where they undergo a series of steps that determine their charges and whether they’ll be released on their own recognizance, allowed to post bail, or held until their court date.
The first rule for anyone arrested is to remain silent. Anything they say can be used in court, so it’s best to speak only to an attorney about the incident.
