IRON COUNTY, Mo. (News First) – A big project the Iron County Commission had always wanted to do for many years, but could never afford to do, has finally taken place. Presiding Commissioner Jim Scaggs tells us about the improvements to the Iron County Jail and Sheriff’s Department buildings, located near the courthouse in Ironton.

We asked Scaggs if he thought their new plan was as good as the original plan.

The Iron County Jail is located at 220 South Shepherd Street in Ironton. The jail has a capacity of 10 inmates. To reach the Iron County Jail, you can call 573-546-7321.
