The Fifth Judicial District Department of Correctional Services is a community-based correctional agency which provides a variety of services to offenders. We provide services prior to conviction, post conviction, and also programming and specialized supervision. Pre-conviction services allow an individual to be released from jail provided they qualify for and agree to the terms of the release. Post Conviction service is determined at sentencing. Depending on the offense this could be informal probation, community service, prison, or a suspended prison sentence with a period of probation and/or parole.
