Jackson County Jail Commissary: How It Works
Inmates in the Law Center order commissary from their accounts; call 563-652-3312 for order days. Relatives keep those balances topped up by dropping money at the Law Center. Outgoing greeting cards, snacks and hygiene items are typical purchases. Because food and packages can't be mailed in, commissary is the main way an inmate gets extras.
Help for Jackson County Inmates Without Money
Inmates without money on Maple Street: ask staff what toiletries are supplied. The county's page doesn't describe an indigent program. A few dollars dropped off on Maple Street goes a long way. Staff can explain how indigent inmates get writing materials.
