Linn County Correctional Center Inmate Communication Overview

The Linn County Correctional Center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is the county jail for Linn County, operated by the Linn County Sheriff's Office at 53 3rd Avenue Bridge. It houses pretrial detainees and sentenced inmates for the county.

Phone calls and video visitation run through NCIC Inmate Communications. The county's own posted instructions direct families to create an account at ncic.com, select the facility, and pick a date and time for the visit, which the facility then approves. Remote visits need only a computer or smartphone, while on-site visits use the reservation code emailed after approval.

Deposits to inmate accounts are reported through JailATM online, the lobby kiosk, or mailed money orders. The sheriff's office main line is (319) 892-6100, and visitation hours vary by housing unit, so confirm the current schedule before traveling.
