The Des Moines Jail despite the name is not a jail. The Des Moines Jail is just a holding pen for people who have been arrested in the Des Moines limits.

Unfortunately, with the holding pen in the Des Moines Jail is quite small. So, offenders will only be in this small holding pen for hours, if that. Most of the offenders that have been arrested in the Des Moines limits will be brought directly to the Polk County Detention Center and skip going down to the Des Moines Jail all together.

Keep in mind that the Des Moines Police Department will also manage this smallholding pen as well.
