Iowa Correctional Institution for Women

The Iowa Correctional Institution for Women is a medium-security facility located at 420 Mill Street SW in Mitchellville that provides rehabilitation services for female inmates. The facility focuses on reintegration programs and vocational development to support residents during and after their time here.

The facility was established to provide specialized rehabilitation services for female inmates in Iowa. Over the decades, it has refined its approaches and now uses evidence-based strategies tailored to the specific needs of incarcerated women.

Educational programs through Iowa Central Community College offer inmates language courses, school equivalency diplomas, and vocational training. These offerings help the women develop practical skills that support them after release.

Visitors can schedule meetings on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM through the Ameelio App, with a maximum of five people per visit. It helps to check current visiting conditions beforehand and allow time for check-in procedures.

The facility operates a textile program through Iowa Prison Industries that teaches inmates practical crafts skills. This vocational training is a key part of preparing residents for life after release.
