Providing an opportunity for change Welcome. The Eighth Judicial District Department of Correctional Services is an independent public agency, with a board of directors, created and established under Chapter 905 of the Code of Iowa to provide community correctional services to the fourteen counties in southeast Iowa that comprise the Eighth Judicial District: Appanoose, Davis, Des Moines, Henry, Jefferson, Keokuk, Lee (North and South), Louisa, Mahaska, Monroe, Poweshiek, Van Buren, Wapello and Washington. We provide comprehensive adult community corrections programming in the Eighth Judicial District. Simply put, the District provides all correctional services except prison incarceration. The district does maintain two residential correctional facilities in Burlington and Ottumwa, respectively. All District services and programs are included in a group of intermediate criminal sanctions ranging from no active supervision up to actual prison incarceration. Basic community corrections services are offered in addition to a wide array of special programs and treatment services.
This site is designed to better serve crime victims, community members
and offenders. To access general topics, simply follow the links in the
