IA DOC – Newton Correctional Facility (NCF) basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 641-792-7552

This facility is for adult inmates.

The inmates housed at Newton Correctional located at 307 S 60th Ave W in Newton, IA are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.

The NCF is a medium and minimum security state prison housing about 1050 adult male inmates located on a 1,476-acre tract of land. The Correctional Release Center currently houses inmates in a variety of low-secure living areas and is charged with preparing inmates of Iowa’s correctional institutions for parole or discharge. Correctional Release Center programs emphasize the need for individuals to take responsibility for their own actions and fall into three primary categories: release preparation, challenging criminal thinking, and substance abuse treatment. The substance abuse treatment program, licensed by the Iowa Department of Public Health, includes a substance abuse relapse treatment program for inmates who are preparing for release.

Adult Basic Education, GED classes and special education are provided for eligible individuals. Inmate work may include on-grounds work assignments or, if approved, participation in community service work programs at state agencies or private sector employment. Inmates involved in community service work programs are transported to work sites each day and work under the supervision of non-correctional state employees.
