CEDAR RAPIDS - As a result of the major flooding affecting the Cedar Rapids area, the Linn County Jail was evacuated on Thursday, June 12, 2008. All inmates were moved safely and successfully to other area correctional facilities, including the Oakdale Medical Classification Center, the Anamosa State Penitentiary, the Mitchellville Women's Correctional Center, and the Washington County Jail. Information on the relocation of specific inmates can be found by calling 319-377-9022.
