Henry County Jail Inmate Lookup

Henry County Jail Overview

Henry County Jail is operated by the Henry County Sheriff's Office at 800 S. Grand Ave in Mt. Pleasant. The official sheriff pages identify Rich McNamee as sheriff and describe the Sheriff's Office as the county's main detention facility. The Corrections Division page says the jail serves Henry County communities and law-enforcement agencies, including arrests that may begin with sheriff deputies or municipal police agencies dispatched in the county.

The jail is a county-jail facility, not a state prison. It holds people arrested in Henry County, pretrial detainees, local sentenced jail inmates, and other people lawfully committed to county custody. The county page says the current jail was built in 2019, has 96 beds, and operates as a 24/7 facility. Those facts are important because they are the strongest current capacity and building details published by Henry County.

The Henry County Corrections Division page shows the jail's 2019 build year, bed count, operating role, and phone line. The screenshot below is included because it is the local source that ties those facility facts together.

Use those county-published details for the jail itself. Do not apply Mount Pleasant Correctional Facility rules, Iowa DOC prison visitation, or state-prison money systems to this county jail.

Henry County Jail Capacity and Population

The current official Henry County jail capacity located in research is 96 beds, sourced to the county Corrections Division page inspected in June 2026. A current daily inmate count, current demographic table, and current average daily population were not published on the official jail pages reviewed. Historical Vera Institute rows include older Henry County jail population and admissions figures through 2019, but those figures should not be treated as current occupancy for the 2019 jail.

Iowa jail standards and Iowa Code Chapter 356 give the sheriff charge and custody of county jail prisoners and require jail records, conditions, and state inspection processes. Those laws explain how the jail is governed, but they do not publish a live Henry County occupancy number.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Henry County Jail

Henry County advertises an Inmate Roster in the Sheriff's Office corrections area, but research did not locate a direct public roster URL or inspectable roster fields. The visible website item behaved like a popup trigger, and a likely direct roster path returned a 404 during research. The practical lookup path is therefore the sheriff app or website first, then the jail phone, VINE, and the sheriff records-request process.

1. Start with the Henry County Sheriff's Office corrections page and the official Henry County Sheriff Iowa mobile app if you use the app. Local launch coverage lists Jail Information and Inmate Search as app features, but web research did not capture the app-only result fields.
2. Call Henry County Jail at 319-385-2712 for real-time custody confirmation, especially for same-day arrests or visitor questions.
3. Use Henry County's VINE page or Iowa VINELink for custody-status search and notification. VINE is useful for alerts, but it is not a complete booking-record database.
4. If the information is not available online, use the sheriff records-request page and email civiloffice@henrycountyiowa.us with the person's full name, date of birth if known, and arrest or booking date.
5. If the person has been sentenced to prison, search Iowa DOC Offender Search instead of the county jail. If local and DOC searches fail, use BOP or ICE locators for federal or immigration custody.

Henry County Jail Address and Contact

Use the jail phone for immediate custody, visitation, and facility-entry questions. Use the Civil Office and sheriff records-request process for copies of booking or incident records. The sheriff records page says time over 30 minutes, paper copies, discs, and flash drives may be billed, and invoices must be paid before records are released. The countywide public-records form lists a different research-time threshold, so confirm costs before ordering copies.

Visiting Someone at Henry County Jail

Henry County publishes local jail visiting hours and points visitors to Reliance for scheduling. Visitors should schedule online through Reliance or call the jail, arrive prepared for entry screening, and keep cell phones, food, and drinks out of the visitation area. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. The Corrections Division page also says all visitors entering the jail are subject to search and refusal to consent means admission will be denied.

The Henry County Inmate Visitation page is the source for the visiting windows and Reliance scheduling route shown here.

Check the jail before traveling because the county page does not publish visit length, dress-code details, approved visitor list rules, or cancellation policy in the reviewed material.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Henry County Jail

Henry County's mail policy is specific. Personal mail, including the envelope, is scanned for electronic viewing, and the original is placed in the inmate's assigned property bag. The sender must include a full first name, full last name, and return address. Magazines, newspapers, packages, and pictures with nudity or offensive or graphic content are not allowed. New, unused paperback books may be sent from a publisher or online retailer.

The county inmate accounts page separates commissary funds from phone-minute purchases. Cash or card deposits can be made at the lobby kiosk through the Sheriff's Office main entrance, and online deposits route through Stellar/JailATM. Inmates can use commissary money to buy phone minutes, but money placed specifically for phone minutes through Reliance cannot be used for commissary items.

Booking and Intake at Henry County Jail

Henry County did not publish a step-by-step local booking guide on the jail pages reviewed. A typical local path begins with arrest by a sheriff deputy, Mount Pleasant police, New London police, Wayland police, Winfield police, or another law-enforcement agency, followed by transport to the county jail. Iowa law requires detained people to have access without unnecessary delay to call, consult, or see a family member or attorney, and attorney consultation must be private.

Do not expect same-day booking data to appear instantly in Iowa Courts Online or Iowa DOC. The jail side handles custody and booking, the court side opens when a complaint, citation, information, or other filing is entered, and the DOC side applies after a state sentence or transfer. For a current local arrest, the jail phone and VINE are usually more useful than the state prison locator.

About Henry County Jail

The jail's published local services include visitation, mail, commissary deposits, phone-minute routing, VINE custody-status information, records requests, PREA reporting information, and room-and-board payments. The official pages reviewed did not list current GED, work release, religious-services, medication-assisted treatment, formal reentry, or grievance-program details. Community resources are separate from jail-run programs; Healthy Henry County and Recovery Iowa materials identify local behavioral-health, recovery, food, transportation, and service-directory options for people returning to the community.

For safety reporting, Henry County posts a PREA zero-tolerance page and lists reporting channels that include jail staff, supervisors, sheriff command staff, medical and mental-health providers, an inmate's attorney, sexual abuse hotlines, and the Iowa Citizens' Aide/Ombudsman Office. Those contacts are conditions and safety resources, not a substitute for emergency reporting.
