Contact Us

Contact questions about Story County inmate records should go to the office that controls the record or custody system. This private site can receive general website messages, but official jail, court, records, DOC, BOP, and ICE questions must be handled by the agencies listed below.

This is a private reference site, not a Story County office. We cannot confirm custody, confirm release, post bond, remove a hold, schedule visitation, or pull official booking, jail, court, DOC, BOP, or ICE records. Use the official contacts below for those tasks.

For the correct starting point, match the question to the system:

  • For a person currently held at the county jail, start with jail inmate records and verify urgent questions with the jail line.
  • For booking photos, use the jail roster mugshots guide and Story County open-records process.
  • For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and Iowa Courts Online or the Clerk of District Court.
  • For facility details, use the Story County Jail page listed in the footer.
  • For a sentenced Iowa prisoner or community-supervision record, use the Iowa Department of Corrections offender search at doc-search.iowa.gov.
  • For federal custody, use the BOP inmate locator at bop.gov/inmateloc; for immigration custody, use ICE ODLS at locator.ice.gov/odls.
