I'm sorry, but I cannot provide the address and contact number for the Dallas County Jail in Iowa as there is no such facility. Dallas County is located in Texas, not Iowa. If you are looking for information on a specific jail or correctional facility in Iowa, I recommend searching online for the official website of the Iowa Department of Corrections or contacting them directly for assistance.

It is recommended that you visit the official website of the Dallas County Sheriff's Office or contact them directly for information on visitation hours at the Dallas County Jail in Iowa.

However, the jail offers healthcare services to inmates through a contract with Advanced Correctional Healthcare, and also provides jail diversion and mental health services.
