How to Mail an Inmate at the Jackson County Jail

[Inmate's full name]
Jackson County Jail
1700 E. Maple St.
Maquoketa, IA 52060

Jackson County rejects letters lacking the inmate's complete name. The sheriff's page names no mail-scanning service, so personal and legal mail both go straight to the Law Center. Because the jail moved from South Niagara Street to East Maple Street in late 2024, confirm the address with 563-652-3312 before mailing. Return addresses should be clear so a refused letter can come back to you.
