Where to Look Officially

For current jail and inmate questions, start with the Clarke County Sheriff's Office. Official local sources list Sheriff Rob Kovacevich, the jail and law enforcement center phone as (641) 342-2914, and the public address as 220 Townline Road, Osceola, Iowa 50213. The City of Osceola FAQ says questions about whether someone is incarcerated at Clarke County Jail, how to talk to an inmate, or jail visitation should go to the sheriff's office and ask for the jail. Jail-specific lobby hours were not published in the research sources, so call before visiting.

For court records after an arrest, use the Clarke County courthouse contact path. The courthouse is listed at 100 South Main Street, Osceola, Iowa 50213, and the Clerk of Court phone is (641) 342-6096. County Attorney Johanna Olson handles the county attorney role for criminal prosecution matters, and the county attorney phone is (641) 342-3423.

Use these official paths based on the record or custody question involved.

• For someone in the county jail, use the sheriff and jail contact above or review jail inmate records.
• For booking photos, check whether a public record request is needed through jail roster mugshots.
• For charges filed after an arrest, use Iowa court resources and the court records after a jail arrest page.
• For facility-specific address and custody context, use the Clarke County Jail / Clarke County Law Enforcement Center page linked in the footer.
• For a sentenced state prisoner, search the Iowa Department of Corrections offender locator instead of a county jail roster.
• For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
