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 left column which also link to specific topics about each county served. The daily announcement marquee at the top of the page is to inform visitors about changes and updates to this site, or any information regarding the cancellation of offender treatment groups and classes. Please verify all cancellations by calling the phone number provided by the facilitators.

Daniel T. Fell,
Director
