This is a private reference site, not a Crawford County government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release an inmate, post bond, schedule a jail visit, or retrieve official booking records. Use the official contacts below for those requests.
Where to Look First
For current county jail questions, start with the Crawford County Sheriff's Office and Crawford County Jail. The official sheriff page lists Sheriff Dan McClure at 1202 Broadway, Suite 3, Denison, IA 51442. The main phone is (712) 263-2146, the fax number is (712) 263-6177, and public office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. No separate online jail roster, jail app, mugshot gallery, visitation schedule, or commissary vendor was located in official county sources.
The county attorney is a different office. Crawford County Attorney Colin Johnson is listed at 1202 Broadway, Suite 12, Denison, IA 51442, phone (712) 263-5601. That office handles prosecution questions after charges are filed, but it does not run the jail roster.
- For a person in Crawford County Jail, use jail inmate records and then contact the sheriff's office if the status is not online.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots and be prepared to make an Iowa public-records request if no photo is posted.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and Iowa Courts Online.
- For a facility-specific question, use the Crawford County Jail page or the facility link in the footer.
- For a sentenced Iowa prisoner, search the Iowa Department of Corrections offender locator instead of the county jail.
- For federal prison or immigration custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
