Nature of the Website

This site is a private reference guide. It does not store official jail records, court records, DOC files, BOP records, ICE records, warrants, or booking photos, and it cannot confirm custody, release anyone, or file documents with a government office.

The site points visitors toward inmate and jail record resources for Story County, Iowa, and may connect visitors with third-party research tools.

We do not control those sites, their uptime, their privacy practices, or the accuracy of their content. Review their terms before using them.

The site is provided as is. We do not guarantee:

• That information is accurate, complete, or current.

Custody status, court dockets, public records, and open-records responses can change quickly. Nothing on this site is an official statement from Story County, an Iowa court, a sheriff's office, a corrections agency, BOP, or ICE.
