How to Contact an Inmate at Marshall County Jail, IA (IA)

All on-site visits at Marshall County Jail are conducted by video. There's no physical, face-to-face visitation at a table. Instead, you'll use the jail's video system, even when you visit in person.

Visitation hours run from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily, though some time slots may be blocked for jail services like meal times. Each visit maxes out at thirty (30) minutes, so plan for a focused conversation.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Reserve your visit by calling the jail at (641) 754-6380, or submit your request through the CIDNET public portal (preferred).
• ✓ Request the visit at least 24 hours in advance.

1. Submit a copy of your state-issued photo ID through the CIDNET public portal. This is part of the visitor approval process.
2. Wait for the portal’s response notification. Approval or denial may take 3 to 5 business days, and only approved persons are allowed to visit.

• ✓ If you plan to use remote (video) visitation through CIDNET, purchase data through CIDNET using the CIDNET public portal (the data purchase must be completed by the interested party outside the jail).

Before picking a time, confirm the daily visitation hours and ask which slots are blocked for jail services like meals. Also verify the current maximum visit length (thirty minutes), since that affects how you plan your conversation.

Not sure how to book? Verify whether you should use the CIDNET public portal or call (641) 754-6380. For remote video visits, confirm the current process for purchasing the required data through CIDNET, including any prompts you should expect during checkout.
