Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Dickinson County Jail
How to Add Money for a Dickinson County Inmate
Baloun's jail page leaves Iowa Great Lakes families a single deposit channel, Tiger Correctional Services:
- Go to Tiger's site. Open Tiger's online service, choose Iowa and the Dickinson County Jail, then select the inmate.
- Spell the detainee's name exactly as booked. The sheriff's jail roster can confirm the spelling.
- Do not bring or mail money to the Sheriff's Office. Baloun's staff no longer accept funds for commissary.
Baloun's office has quit accepting inmate funds, and P.O. Box 214 rejects personal checks, so an envelope of bills or a check never turns into commissary credit on Hill Avenue. Fischer, the Dickinson County jail administrator, takes deposit questions at 712-336-2793.
