This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible public office for those services.

The Poweshiek County Sheriff's Office operates the county jail and is the first contact for current county custody or a jail record. No separate records-unit number, booking-photo fee, or response deadline was published in the research. Call first to confirm the current custodian and request method.
