Boone County Jail Roster Overview
Boone County inmate records for current local custody are published by the Boone County Sheriff's Office through an official Inmate Roster page. The roster page links to a static PDF inmate list. The inspected PDF was one page, showed "Inmate List - Total:14," and was generated on September 5, 2025 at 2:01:07 PM. It is free to open and does not require an account.
The roster is intentionally limited. It shows name, age, and initial booking only. It does not show charges, bond, mugshots, arresting agency, housing unit, booking number, court date, release status, or detailed profile pages. Boone County's jail page fills part of that gap by sending charge and bond questions to 515-433-0524 opt. 1 or to the Law Enforcement Center counter. Sheriff report copies use a different channel: 515-433-0524 opt. 3, sheriff@boonecounty.iowa.gov, or fax 515-433-0942.
Use the Boone County Roster
The Boone County jail roster has no form fields, so the practical search method is a PDF search. It works best when the last name is known. Age and initial booking time can help sort out people with similar names, but they do not prove a charge, conviction, or release condition.
- Open the official Boone County Sheriff's Inmate Roster page.
- Open the linked inmate roster PDF.
- Use the PDF viewer's find tool to search a last name.
- Compare age and initial booking time when more than one name looks similar.
- Call 515-433-0524 opt. 1 or go to 1019 W. Mamie Eisenhower Ave. for current charge and bond information.
- Use Iowa Courts Online for filed charges, court dates, and case outcomes.
The official Boone County Jail page explains the jail-side contact path for charge and bond questions, intake, release, mail, commissary, and PREA reporting.
That source is important because the public roster does not carry the charge and bond fields many readers expect from an inmate profile.
Boone County Roster Fields
Boone County's roster is not a name-search database. It is a list. The field inventory below is the full visible public record set from the inspected PDF, so missing fields should not be treated as a broken search result.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | PDF column | N/A | Surname first, then given or middle names when present. |
| Age | PDF column | N/A | Numeric age. |
| Initial Booking | PDF column | N/A | Date and time, shown in MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS format in the inspected PDF. |
Boone County Inmate Profile Details
A Boone County inmate record on the public roster is more of a custody list entry than a profile. It confirms that the person was listed on the roster when the PDF was generated and shows when the current jail stay began. Charge and bond facts come from the jail information path, and formal charge records come from the court system after the prosecutor files the case.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The person listed as an inmate in the public PDF. |
| Age | Age in years. |
| Initial Booking | The date and time the current jail stay began. |
| Charges | Not shown in the PDF; call 515-433-0524 opt. 1 or check court records after filing. |
| Bond | Not shown in the PDF; use the jail charge and bond channel. |
| Booking Photo | Not shown in the official Boone County roster PDF inspected. |
Boone County Jail Contact
The jail and sheriff's office share the Law Enforcement Center address. Keep the phone paths separate: opt. 1 is for arrestee charge and bond information, while opt. 3 is for sheriff administration and report-copy requests. Dispatch is separate and should not replace 911 for emergencies.

Incident or accident report copies may be requested by phone, email, or fax through the sheriff's FAQ channel, and some charges may apply. The civil process page states a $.50 copy fee for civil-process copies, but the research did not locate a full jail records fee schedule.
Boone County Jail Visits
Boone County's official jail page did not publish a visitation schedule, visitor approval process, dress code, video visit vendor, attorney visit rule, visit length, or child visitor policy. That is a local access limit, not a reason to borrow state prison rules. IDOC prison visitation rules use approval and Ameelio scheduling, but those rules were not located as Boone County Jail rules.
| Visit Type | Schedule | Requirements | Source Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-site personal visitation | Not located | Not located | Not published on inspected Boone County jail sources. |
| Remote or video visitation | Not located | Not located | No official Boone County vendor or schedule located. |
| Attorney visitation | Not located | Not located | Not published in inspected local sources. |
Note: Call the Sheriff's Office before a visit because the official jail source does not publish visitor hours or entry rules.
Boone County Mail and Money
Boone County Jail publishes mail and commissary basics. Mail is permitted under jail rules, and inmates are made aware of jail rules before and during their stay. Commissary accounts may be established when an inmate arrives, and a lobby kiosk is available around the clock for adding funds. The page does not publish online deposit options, phone deposit options, deposit fees, or a commissary price list.
| Topic | Boone County Jail Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail format | Boone County Jail / Inmate name / 1019 W. Mamie Eisenhower Ave. / Boone, IA 50036. |
| Commissary account | May be established for each inmate upon arrival. |
| Deposit kiosk | Sheriff's office lobby kiosk is available 24 hours a day. |
| Personal messages | Jail staff do not deliver personal messages unless an emergency condition exists. |
Boone County Custody Lookup Chain
When a person is not on the Boone County roster, the next step depends on custody stage. The Iowa Offender Search covers sentenced prison inmates and community-supervision clients. Its fields include first, middle, and last name, offender number, sex, location, offense, county of commitment, and search type. Boone County cases can be filtered by county of commitment when the person has moved into IDOC records.
Federal and immigration custody use separate systems. The BOP Inmate Locator covers sentenced federal inmates from 1982 to present. ICE uses the Online Detainee Locator System, with search paths described by ICE and USAGov. Iowa VINE is available through VINELink for custody or criminal-case notifications, but it should be treated as a notification tool rather than a replacement for the county roster.
Custody split: Boone County Jail handles local jail custody, IDOC handles sentenced Iowa prison and supervision records, BOP handles sentenced federal custody, and ICE handles immigration detention.
Released Boone County Inmate Records
The Boone County roster should be treated as a current custody list, not a permanent archive of every jail booking. The research did not locate a released-inmate tab, historical booking database, daily release report, or published roster-retention rule on official Boone County pages. A person may disappear from the PDF after bond, pretrial release, final appearance, sentencing, transfer, or another court order. That change does not prove the case ended. It only means the county's public custody list no longer shows that person in the same way.
For a past Boone County jail stay, start by separating custody facts from court facts. Custody facts can include the booking date, jail intake, release path, bond handling, and any sheriff report tied to the arrest. Court facts include formal charges, amended charges, dismissed counts, plea, sentencing, probation, or appeal. Sheriff records requests should use 515-433-0524 opt. 3, sheriff@boonecounty.iowa.gov, or fax 515-433-0942. Court records should be checked through Iowa Courts Online or the Boone County District Court clerk.
Iowa Code chapter 22 provides the open-records framework for requesting public records, but it does not guarantee every jail or law-enforcement record will be released in full. Investigative material, juvenile records, sealed matters, confidential information, or privacy-sensitive details may be withheld or redacted. When asking for an older Boone County inmate record, include the person's full name, approximate arrest or booking date, date of birth if known, and the type of record requested. A narrow request is easier for the office to route and price.
Released-inmate searches should also account for Boone County's court geography. Jail and sheriff matters route to the Law Enforcement Center, while filed criminal cases route to Iowa Courts Online and Boone County District Court. The county attorney and courthouse are tied to prosecution and case records, not commissary deposits or jail bond questions. Keeping those locations separate prevents a common mistake: calling the clerk for jail custody or calling the jail for a final case disposition.
If the person moved from Boone County Jail to prison, use IDOC records. If the person moved into federal custody, use BOP or U.S. Marshals contacts as appropriate. If the person moved into immigration custody, use ICE ODLS. A release from the county PDF can mean local release, state transfer, federal transfer, immigration transfer, or a roster refresh after court action, so the next source depends on what changed.
Boone County research found no official sheriff app with roster or warrant features, so the county website and published office contacts remain the controlled access points. Avoid treating an app result or copied roster as more current than the sheriff's own roster page and jail information line.
