Iowa County Jail Commissary: How It Works

Iowa County detainees shop commissary against what's on their account, which relatives top up by any of the three county-approved deposit routes. Because hygiene products must come from the jail, commissary matters more here than in jails that take mailed toiletries. Call 319-642-7307, ext. 2, for order days.

Help for Iowa County Inmates Without Money

Indigent detainees may send up to two personal letters a week free of charge, the policy says. The jail can recover those costs later if money arrives on the account. Ask staff what basic hygiene supplies are issued to someone with no funds. Even a small deposit lets an inmate buy items directly.

Iowa County Account Balance at Release

Whatever is left in a Marengo account normally goes out the door with the person, typically as a check or a prepaid release card. Iowa Code 356.7 lets the sheriff collect room-and-board and similar charges first, and amounts owed for indigent services may also be deducted, so the refund can be less than what was deposited. Keep receipts for money orders and online deposits. Ask the jail at 319-642-7307, ext. 2, how Sauerbrei's office issues the refund.
