Where to Direct a Custody or Record Question

For current custody, bond, visitation, or jail operations, contact the Winneshiek County Jail at 563-387-4096. For Sheriff records, begin with the Winneshiek County Sheriff’s Office at 400 Claiborne Drive, Decorah, IA 52101, call 563-382-4268, or email sheriff@co.winneshiek.ia.us. No separate records-unit line, photo-request form, local fee schedule, or guaranteed response time was published in the sources reviewed.

A focused Iowa Chapter 22 request should name the person, give a booking date or date range, identify the exact record sought, and ask about the submission method, estimated cost, redactions, and electronic delivery. For a filed court case, use the Winneshiek Clerk of Court or Iowa Courts Online. Call 911 for an emergency.
