Scott County Jail & Annex Facilities
Scott County Jail and Courthouse |
The older portion of the Scott County Jail (the north
section) was built in 1898 and originally was lit with gas
lamps. Scott County has renovated the facility numerous times
in the last 100 years. In 1983, an addition was added to the
building, attaching it to the Courthouse to the south.
The entire structure (excluding the Tremont annex) is approximately
45,000 square feet on four floors. This downtown facility
has a licensed capacity of 134 beds. Meals for this facility
and the Tremont annex are prepared at the kitchen here and
transported to the other location. This facility has a unique
"outdoor" recreation yard, not visible or accessible
to the outside.
The Scott County Jail is located behind the Scott County
Courthouse at 416 West Fourth Street, Davenport, Iowa 52801.
Hours of Operation are seven days a week, twenty-four hours
a day. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m. Visitor's hours are by appointment only.
Tremont Substation Facility |
The Tremont Substation Facility was originally built
in 1975 as a light manufacturing facility. The entire facility
is 40,000 square feet and sits on about four - 1/4 acres of
land in a commercial park setting.
The County purchased the building in 1991 and converted approximately
half of it into a minimum-security jail annex that the State
of Iowa licenses for 80 beds. The remainder of what once was
the manufacturing area is used as a warehouse and storage
facility. In 1994, the County renovated and converted 4000
square feet of office space for use by the Scott County Sheriff's
Office, Patrol Division.
The Scott County Tremont Facility is located at 4715 Tremont
Avenue, Davenport, Iowa 52806. Visitors are not allowed at
this location.
