The Wapello Co Jail, located at 330 W 2nd St in Ottumwa, IA, is a secure detention center operated by the Wapello County Sheriff's Office. This facility primarily houses individuals awaiting trial or sentencing, typically for less than two years. It accepts inmates from various jurisdictions, including surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service, and the Ottumwa Police Department.
New detainees are regularly admitted to the jail, with some being released on bail or placed under pretrial services caseloads. Others await their court appearances at the facility, receiving necessary accommodations such as bedding and meals. View all arrest records here.
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 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.

Visitation is through telephone and video monitors in the Jail Lobby connected with the inmate in their particular cell area. To visit you must be on the inmate's list and have a state-issued photo ID. If you want on an inmate’s list you must write that inmate a letter stating such and that inmate will communicate that to jail personnel. Children under the age of 3 are not required to be on the inmate’s visitation list but are required to be supervised. All children are required to be supervised during visitation hours. Inmates are allowed 30 minutes per week total visitation.
Are phone calls and visitation different?
Yes. Visitation requires a trip to the Jail by the person that wants to talk to the inmate. Phone calls can be made by inmates at all times that they are not in lockdown.
