Davenport Residential Overview
Davenport Residential Correctional Facility is listed by the Iowa DOC Seventh Judicial District at 1330 W. 3rd Street in Davenport. The DOC page uses the name Residential Correctional Facility, while local press references can call it Davenport Residential Corrections Facility. The key fact is the operator: Iowa Department of Corrections, Seventh Judicial District. That makes it a community corrections facility, not a county jail unit.
DOC describes residential correctional facilities as non-secure housing with 24-hour supervision. Residents may leave only for approved job seeking, employment, treatment, or other approved purposes. The statewide DOC examples include OWI continuum, probation alternatives to incarceration, work release after parole board approval, and other assigned situations such as federal, interstate compact, or special-sentence clients. Those categories are broader than a jail booking roster and can include people who are not physically in Scott County Jail.

The district page shows why Davenport Residential belongs with DOC community corrections rather than the county jail roster.
Davenport Residential Capacity
The official research did not locate a published bed capacity for Davenport Residential Correctional Facility on the DOC Seventh District source. That absence is important because facility pages should not borrow numbers from nearby facilities. Scott County Jail has a published 394-bed capacity, and the Youth Justice & Rehabilitation Center has a 40-bed capacity, but those figures do not describe Davenport Residential. Iowa Offender Search can show many people tied to Scott County commitment or Seventh Judicial District supervision, yet that is not a live population count for this building.
| Facility Fact | Source Result | How to Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Residential correctional facility | Community corrections, not jail booking |
| Supervision | Non-secure housing with 24-hour supervision | Residents may leave only for approved purposes |
| Capacity | Not published in official source located | No invented bed count |
Search Davenport Residential Records
The correct lookup source is Iowa Offender Search. Use the person's name, offender number, location, offense, and county of commitment when available. Location may point to the Seventh Judicial District rather than spelling out the exact building in every search result. County of Commitment can identify Scott County cases, but it does not prove the person is physically at Davenport Residential on that day. Always review the DOC detail record and confirm with the facility or supervising authority when exact placement matters.
- Open Iowa Offender Search and search by name or offender number.
- Use the Location filter for Seventh Judicial District when that matches the expected placement.
- Use County of Commitment "Scott" for Scott County judgments or supervision records.
- Read the detail page for location, supervision status, offense, commitment dates, discharge dates, and VINELink access.
- If the person is a recent arrestee in county custody, switch to the Scott County Jail roster instead.
DOC records differ from Scott County Jail profiles. The inspected DOC profile showed offender number, sex, age, location, offense, tentative or supervision discharge date, commitment date, board decision fields where present, mandatory minimum where applicable, a VINELink link, and a charges table. It did not show a jail booking photo. That difference is expected because Davenport Residential is tied to correctional supervision and residential placement, not public jail booking photos.

Davenport Residential Contact
Davenport Residential Correctional Facility has a different phone and address from the 605 Center and Scott County Jail. Use the facility contact for residential correctional placement questions. Use the county jail for current jail custody or booking questions. Use the state DOC locator for public offender records. This separation matters because one person can move from jail to DOC supervision, or from a DOC residential placement back to jail after a new arrest or violation.

Davenport Residential Visits
The research did not locate a public weekly visitation table for Davenport Residential Correctional Facility. Residential correctional facilities are not ordinary jail visiting rooms. DOC describes approved movement for job seeking, employment, treatment, and other purposes, while still maintaining 24-hour supervision. Contact rules can depend on a resident's supervision status, program phase, facility rules, court or board conditions, treatment schedule, and employment obligations.
Statewide DOC family-service rules provide a useful baseline. Iowa DOC offers in-person and video visits at no cost to approved friends and family for DOC incarcerated individuals, with scheduling through Ameelio after approval. Adults submit their own visitor application, while minors are listed on a parent or legal guardian application. Facility rules still apply. Because Davenport Residential is a community corrections facility, confirm directly before assuming that prison-style or county-jail-style visit scheduling applies.
| Contact Topic | Known Rule | Confirm With Facility |
|---|---|---|
| Public visiting hours | Not located in official research | Call 563-324-2131 |
| DOC visitor approval | Application and Ameelio scheduling for DOC visits | Resident status and facility rules may change access |
| Approved movement | Work, job seeking, treatment, or other approved activity | Leaving for approved activity is not release from supervision |
Note: Confirm visit approval, resident status, and facility-specific timing before going to Davenport Residential.
Davenport Residential Mail
DOC family-service materials distinguish DOC mail and money from county jail accounts. Non-legal mail for DOC incarcerated individuals goes through a central processing address using the incarcerated person's name, offender ID number, facility name, facility ID number, and the DOC processing address. Direct non-legal mail to facilities may be returned. That rule should be confirmed for a residential correctional placement because community corrections residents can have facility-specific rules tied to status, employment, treatment, and approved property.
Money can be sent under DOC rules by money order or cashier check to the IDOC Offender Fiduciary Account in Fort Dodge, or electronically through Access Corrections, JPay, and Western Union. Official DOC material says online and phone services are available 24/7 and funds are typically transferred in real time and available within 24 hours. Phone access is also DOC-specific: no incoming calls are allowed, and the resident or incarcerated person must add the number to an approved call list.
| Service | Published DOC Detail | Facility Note |
|---|---|---|
| Central processing for non-legal DOC mail | Confirm resident status before sending | |
| Money orders | IDOC Offender Fiduciary Account, Fort Dodge | Use correct offender ID |
| Electronic money | Access Corrections, JPay, Western Union | Fees and availability may vary |
| Phone | No incoming calls; approved call list required | Facility rules may add limits |
Davenport Residential Placement
Davenport Residential does not run Scott County Jail booking. A person is placed there through DOC, court, parole board, probation, parole, OWI continuum, federal or interstate placement, special sentence, or other community-corrections assignment. Intake is therefore about supervision conditions, program placement, employment or treatment permission, reporting rules, and compliance. If a resident violates conditions or fails to return, the response may involve DOC, local law enforcement, court action, or a later jail booking.
Research located a recent official DOC-style example from 2026: a work-release resident failed to return to the Davenport Residential Corrections Facility as required on April 25, 2026, and the release directed the public to local law enforcement. That kind of notice shows the facility's correctional role without turning it into a county jail. A failure-to-return event can become a law-enforcement matter, but the ordinary record source for the residential placement remains Iowa DOC.
- Residential placement
- DOC community corrections housing with supervision and program rules instead of county-jail booking.
- Work release
- A correctional status that can permit approved work while the person remains under custody or supervision.
- Supervision status
- The DOC record field that helps show whether a person is in prison, residential placement, parole, probation, or another status.
About Davenport Residential
Davenport Residential Correctional Facility fills a different role than the Scott County Jail, the Youth Justice & Rehabilitation Center, and the 605 Center. It is a DOC residential correctional facility, not the county's adult booking jail, not a public youth detention roster, and not a secure state prison. It is part of a district system that also handles pretrial services, probation, parole, work release, OWI treatment, federal clients, sex-offender treatment, mental-health services, victim impact programming, and transitional skills.
For record searches, the most reliable first question is custody type. A person booked on a new Scott County arrest may appear on the county roster. A sentenced or supervised person in DOC community corrections should be checked in Iowa Offender Search. A federal prisoner or immigration detainee uses BOP or ICE tools. That distinction keeps Davenport Residential records tied to the right agency and prevents a missing county-roster result from being read as proof that a person is not under correctional supervision.
Note: Use Iowa DOC sources for Davenport Residential records and call the facility before relying on schedule or contact assumptions.
