The Linn Co Correctional is a detention center located at 53 3rd Ave Bridge Cedar Rapids, IA which is operated locally by the Linn County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Linn County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Cedar Rapids Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.
The Linn County Correctional Center serves as the sole jail facility in Linn County, accommodating a capacity of 401 beds. It houses individuals awaiting trial, serving sentences for state, county, and municipal offenses, as well as overflow inmates from other jurisdictions and federal prisoners awaiting trial. Inmates and other jurisdictions housing inmates pay daily fees to Linn County, with rates varying for different entities. The Correctional Center Division is also responsible for prisoner transportation and courthouse security. The 65-page Inmate Handbook contains all of the Rules and Regulations of the facility as published by the County Sheriff's Office.
Visitors are permitted to bring specific unopened clothing items for garnished inmates, while money can be deposited into inmates' accounts via cash or money order. Inmates are limited to a maximum of $100 in their accounts. Individuals seeking to block their phone numbers from receiving calls from inmates must provide specific documentation at the Correctional Center. The removal of blocks is handled through the phone provider. Payment for room and board can be made in full or through a realistic monthly payment plan arranged with the Financial Division.
If you need information about a detainee who is housed at this facility, you may call (402) 987-2122 between the hours of 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. When you call, please have the individual’s biographical information ready, including first, last and hyphenated names, any aliases he or she may use, date of birth, and country of birth. Search here - ICE Detainee Locator. Detainees cannot receive incoming calls. If you need to get in touch with a detainee to leave an urgent message, you must call (319) 892-6300 and leave the detainee’s full name, alien registration number and your name and telephone number where you can be reached. The detainee will be given your message.
Individuals who do not post bail within the first twenty-four hours must appear before a judge. During this first appearance, conducted either in person or via telephone, the judge informs the arrested person of the charges against them and sets the bond amount.
Following the intake process, which includes property inventory, medical screening, and booking, inmates are assigned to the general population. Housing assignments are based on the classification of their charges, whether felony or misdemeanor, to ensure proper management and safety within the facility.
After processing, inmates are assigned to a housing area based on classification. Compliance with jail rules typically results in a lower classification and more privileges, while rule violations or additional charges lead to a higher classification and fewer privileges. Inmates serving as trustees within the jail undertake various tasks, including cooking, laundry, and commissary management, often receiving minimal compensation or sentence reduction for their services.
The jail is designed with "pods," featuring a large common area with affixed tables and attached seats, and individual cells typically on two levels. Inmates spend certain times in their cells and other times congregating in the pod for activities like playing cards, games, reading, or watching television. Movement outside the pod, such as trips to the commissary, library, or recreation area, occurs under the constant supervision of unarmed correctional officers. The environment in the county jail is considered less stressful than that of a prison because the sentences are much shorter.
The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.
Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. The Jail enforces this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.

Linn County Correctional Center Video Visitation Service
Requirements for Offsite Video Visitation: To participate in video visitation from offsite, users need access to high-speed internet and a compatible device, such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone equipped with a camera, microphone, and speakers.
For those without internet or device access, the Correctional Center provides a single visitation terminal in the lobby for public use. Once in-person visits resume at the facility, these on-site visits will remain free of charge.
To set up an account and schedule video visits, please visit the NCIC Inmate Communications website.
IMPORTANT: The video visitation software requires a person's face to be visible. If the software does not detect a face, then the screen will go blank. These settings are part of the software from NCIC and are controlled by NCIC, not the Linn County Correctional Center.
Correctional Center staff will monitor conduct and behavior during the video visitations. Visitors and inmates are expected to follow a code of behavior that is decent, non-disruptive, and non-offensive to other visitors, inmates, and staff. Violation of video visitation rules may result in termination of the current visit and suspension or revocation of video visitation privileges.
While in-person visitation is no longer available, visitors wishing to visit inmates free of charge are now able to utilize one of our kiosks located on the 2nd-floor public visitation area at Linn County Correctional Center. All visits must still be scheduled through the NCIC website and visitors are still required to show ID at the records window prior to them receiving access to the public elevator.
Inmates housed in the Linn County Correctional Center are eligible for two (2), twenty (20) minute visits per week. Those inmates sentenced to three (3) days and under will not be allowed visitation privileges. Visitation space is limited, so inmates are limited to a combination of 2 adults and 1 child or 1 adult and 2 children.
