Iowa Department of Corrections

Visiting policies, procedures and online reservations will be available on the visiting page. 

Reminder: Per Department visitation policy, all visitors upon entrance to the institutions shall be subject to search. Security and contraband control are critical operational requirements, necessitating a search of all visitors by trained correctional staff. Searches may include, but are not limited to, a pat down, metal detectors, electronic ion scanners, other electronic devices, or visual searches.  If visitors refuse to comply with the Department visitation policy, entrance to the visiting room will be denied.  

Note: Because each prison has different in-person vs video visiting days/times, those looking to schedule a visit will need to use the online scheduling system to find times/days that are available.
