Iowa is one of the few states in the country where individual counties can charge an inmate a Room and Board Fee for county inmates who have been sentenced and are serving their time. Counties in this state could charge anywhere from $25-80 per day. Some of the counties who currently charge are Carroll, Black Hawk, Lyon, Worth and Des Moines Counties. Ask your inmate's lawyer if this is something you should be concerned with. Keep in mind that it has a lot to do with the charges the accused could be found guilty of as well. Ultimately, the judge will decide whether to demand this fee or not.

Offenders remain both before their trial and after their sentencing, either for a short sentence or until they are transferred, with most remaining for only a few weeks or up to a year. The jail is staffed around the clock to ensure both the safety of inmates and staff and the security of the building.
Providing care for all inmates includes access to medical care as needed, access to mental health care, healthy meals, clean laundry, exercise, and recreational opportunities. Through regular interaction with other inmates and the staff there are chances to improve social skills, chances to improve life skills, and other opportunities.
It is also recommended that family members and friends remain in contact with loved ones during their incarceration to maintain mental health of both themselves and the offenders, which is also shown to improve recidivism and to keep the jail safer for everyone.
They may support an inmate by providing deposits to their commissary account either in person in the lobby or online which can also support phone calls, while phone accounts are also available to ensure the funds are spent for calls only.
Mail is sent to the sheriff office and it will be checked for both a full return address and contraband, with the letter and envelope being scanned and then delivered digitally to the inmate.
Visits may be scheduled online, and all visits will be scheduled on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 2:00pm-8:00pm or Saturday 10:00am-3:00pm.
