Message From the Director
The First Judicial District Department of Correctional Services
provides a continuum of community-based correctional supervision
and services focused on managing and reducing offender risk to reoffend, thereby reducing victimization.
This annual report is prepared pursuant to the Code of Iowa and
provides information about the First Judicial District Department of
Correctional Services’ organizational composition, financial reports,
correctional programming, supervision, and strategic planning.
In FY’07, the department focused on offender re-entry, between institutions and
community-based corrections, and from supervision to release without correctional
supervision. Engaging community support is a large part of what offenders need to be
successful and we are working with communities to strengthen our ties.
The department is responsible for the supervision and management of sex offenders
within existing laws and we continue to dedicate resources to accomplish these goals.
The department also continues to collaborate with community agencies to address the
needs of mentally ill offenders and offenders with addictions.
The department has been critically reviewing current programs and remains committed to
making data-based decisions and allocating resources to programs proven to be effective.
I want to thank the dedicated staff of the First Judicial District Department of Correctional
Services for their service throughout the year. I also want to acknowledge the Board of
Directors, Advisory Committees, and the Department of Corrections for their on-going
support and guidance in helping the department carry out its mission.

Department Overview
The First Judicial District Department of Correctional Services is an agency established under Iowa
Code Chapter 905 to provide correctional services throughout the eleven counties of Northeast
Iowa, comprising the First Judicial District.
In October of 1973, the first efforts at establishing community-based corrections in the First
Judicial District revolved around a Waterloo based agency established to provide correctional
services in Black Hawk, Grundy, and Buchanan Counties, named the “Tri-County Department of
Court Services.”
In late 1974, a similar office was established in Oelwein to provide correctional services in
Fayette, Chickasaw, Clayton, Howard, Winneshiek, and Allamakee Counties.
In November of 1976, the two agencies were merged into one to provide most of the basic preinstitutional services in nine of the eleven counties of the district and a limited level of service in
Dubuque and Delaware Counties. In 1977, all eleven counties merged into one agency called,
“The First Judicial District Department of Correctional Services.”
Early efforts to establish a residential facility/probation office in the Waterloo-Cedar Falls area
finally paid off in late 1976 with the establishment of a residential facility in the old Ellis Hotel
building in downtown Waterloo. A second residential facility was leased in 1978 in Dubuque at an
old house on Garfield Street. In November of 1981, Waterloo probation staff separated from the
residential setting and moved from the Ellis Hotel to the current Waterloo Probation/Parole Office
at 527 E. 5th Street. In 1984, a 36-bed facility was built in Dubuque on Elm Street; and in 1985,
the Waterloo Residential Facility moved from the condemned Ellis Hotel to a newly constructed
56-bed facility at 310 East 6th Street.
On July 1, 1984, the State Department of Corrections turned over the administration of all
community-based correctional services to the eight judicial districts, bringing on Parole, Compact
Services, and Work Release for those inmates released from prison. The Work Release Facility in
Waterloo had been in operation since November of 1971. In March of 1991 an addition was
completed to the Waterloo Residential Facility to house Work Release and Administrative Offices.
In this transition Work Release expanded from a 20-bed facility to a 64-bed multi-program facility.
In 1992, a 32-bed multi-program correctional facility was completed in West Union. In 1995, an
8-bed expansion was built creating a 40-bed co-correctional facility.
In May of 1999, the
Dubuque Field Services Offices moved to a new location at 745 Main Street. In early 2001, a 44bed expansion of the Dubuque Residential Facility was completed bringing the total design
capacity to 80 beds. In June of 2004, the Oelwein Field Services Office moved to 1584 South
Frederick Street in Oelwein. In April of 2005, the Decorah Field Services Office moved to 1014
South Mill Street in Decorah.
The First Judicial District Department of Correctional Services provides a comprehensive program
of community correctional services, including: Pre-Trial Services, Presentence Investigations,
Probation Supervision, Residential Correctional Facilities, Work Release, Parole, Compact Services
and Special Programs.

Evidence Based Practices
Evidence-based practice is a significant trend throughout all human
services that emphasizes outcomes. Interventions within
community corrections are considered effective when they reduce
offender risk and subsequent recidivism and therefore make a
positive long-term contribution to public safety. The First Judicial
District continues its commitment to implementing and fostering the
following principles of Evidence-Based Practices:
1) Assess offender risk to re-offend and identify needs, using
validated instruments
2) Enhance intrinsic motivation in offenders using motivational

The Black Hawk County Drug Court is a court that has been specifically designed
and staffed to supervise nonviolent felony drug addicted offenders who have
been referred to this comprehensive and judicially monitored program of drug
treatment services. The mission of the Black Hawk County Drug Court is to

collaborative effort to more efficiently work with non-violent substance abusing
offenders, thereby reducing recidivism and associated crime.
Black Hawk County Drug Court represents a non-traditional approach to criminal offenders who
are addicted to drugs. Rather than focusing only on the crimes and punishments, Drug Court also
attempts to solve some of the offenders’ underlying problems.
The Drug Court is built upon a unique partnership between the criminal justice and drug treatment
communities, one which structures treatment intervention around the authority and personal
involvement of a single Drug Court Judge.
The Drug Court is dependent upon the creation of a non-adversarial courtroom atmosphere where a
single Judge and dedicated correctional and treatment staff work together toward a common goal of
breaking the cycle of drug abuse and criminal behavior. An environment with clear and certain rules
is created and a participant’s compliance is within their own control.

Mental Health Jail Assessment
Available in Black Hawk and Dubuque Counties
Funded through county funds, the department continues to conduct mental health screenings on
individuals in the Black Hawk County Jail to determine if appropriate services exist within the
community that would allow the offender an appropriate placement alternative in lieu of prison or jail.
The program specifically looks at all issues faced by the individual and through collaboration with
multiple community agencies, addresses the individuals mental health needs, as well as issues related
to housing, medications, provider support, and appropriate correctional supervision. This program
works closely with and makes referrals to the other mental health programs. During this last fiscal year
Dubuque County approached the First District about this program and after exploring various options to
address their mental health cases in the jail chose to replicate this program in Dubuque. Thus far it is
proving to be a valuable asset to Dubuque County as well as the First District in our efforts to address
the needs and issues of the mentally ill in the correctional system. This program was visited by the
National Association of Counties as one of 6 such programs in the country to be featured in an article
in the fall of 2007.

Male Dual Diagnosis Offender Program
The Dual Diagnosis Offender Program is funded through the Governor’s Office of Drug Control
Policy. It is a facility-based program for 18 males who have co-occurring mental illness and
substance abuse disorders. Upon successful completion of the facility placement offenders in
this program are assigned to a specialized probation/parole officer who monitors their
compliance with on-going programming. These offenders are historically difficult to treat and
would otherwise likely be in jail, prison, or hospitals. The program integrates substance abuse
and mental health treatment with correctional structure, using on-site contracted mental
health and substance abuse services.

Sex Offender Treatment
The goal of the Sex Offender Treatment Program is to help offenders learn to control their
deviant behaviors and learn pro-social skills. Specially trained correctional staff provides
intensive supervision and intervention services.
Offenders are required to participate in a variety of assessments including: risk assessment,
polygraph – verification of sexual history, plethysmograph – physiological testing of sexual
arousal patterns, psycho-sexual testing, and a clinical interview by the psychologist assigned
to the unit.
In January, as a result of legislative mandate, all sex offenders with minor victims started
being placed on electronic monitoring (global positioning system-GPS). The offender’s
whereabouts are tracked by the GPS and viewed via computer by the department of
correctional services.

Community Service
The 1st District is committed to helping restore harm done to the many victims in our communities. One
avenue to help accomplish this is for offenders to perform service hours in our neighborhoods. As this
labor certainly benefits the community, it can also provide
opportunities for the offender to learn skills and develop a sense of
responsibility to society. There are many ways this District
incorporates community service into our correctional programs:
Community Service Sentencing is an alternative to incarceration
or other sentencing options, used mainly with probationers. Paying
back loss to the community is a form of restitution. Community
Service can also be used as an intermediate sanction for violations of
supervision or in lieu of paying fines or court costs. It is never used
for pecuniary damages.

Intermediate Criminal Sanctions Continuum
This continuum is a sentencing option available to the Court under 901B of the Code of Iowa.
The continuum consists of five levels:
• Level 1 – Noncommunity-based corrections sanctions including fines and
noncommunity-based supervision
• Level 2 – Probation and Parole
• Level 3 – Quasi-incarceration sanctions including violator’s program and
residential facility placement, and house arrest using electronic monitoring
• Level 4 – Short-term incarceration, including the violator’s program
• Level 5 – Incarceration
The law allows the District authority to make administrative decisions regarding the
supervision of community-based offenders within levels 2, 3, and parts of 4.
The continuum:
• Uses a team approach to ensure fair and consistent decisions
• Uses intermediate community-based sanctions
• Provides immediate response to offender needs and accountability for behavior
• Reduces court time needed to conduct revocation hearings
• Provides staff a resource to discuss and seek input for issues involving difficult case
management decisions.

Standard Pre-Trial
Pre-Trial supervision is an alternative to the bail bond system. Arrestees are
interviewed in the jail and are assessed for their likelihood to appear for court and
potential danger to the community. Recommendations are made to the Court regarding
release from jail, which may include release on own recognizance, release with
supervision, release with bail, release on bail with supervision, or no release. If release
with supervision is ordered, the defendant is monitored to assure attendance at court
appearances and compliance with conditions of release.

Low Risk Probation
Available throughout the district
The Low Risk Supervision Program was developed to remove the majority of low risk
offenders from standard supervision caseloads in order to address high caseloads for
standard officers in a cost-effective manner. Offenders participate in a group intake
where they are informed of their court-ordered obligations and responsibilities for
supervision. Once their obligations are met, they may be eligible for discharge
consideration.

Pre-Sentence Investigations
The Pre-Sentence Investigation is conducted by Probation/Parole Officers in order to
provide a comprehensive report to judges to assist them in determining appropriate
sentencing options. Officers gather information about the offenders’ present offense,
and criminal, social, employment, education, family, substance abuse, and psychological
histories. Probation/Parole Officers complete risk and needs assessments and make
sentencing and treatment recommendations to the Court. The pre-sentence report also
provides valuable information to other correctional staff who later supervise the
offender.

FACILITIES – Program Overview
Offenders are committed to and discharged from facilities either by court order or Board of
Parole order.
Keeping in mind the overall mission of community-based facilities, First District Facilities
provide safe, secure environments conducive to positive offender change. Offenders progress
through facility programs via a level system, whereby privileges are gained through rule and
treatment compliance. Criminogenic needs are addressed in a structured atmosphere,
promoting lawful behavior. Programming is individually tailored to offender's need and risk to
re-offend, both in-house and in the community. Programming may include employment,
education, community service, substance abuse and mental health counseling, financial
management, sex offender, gender specific and cognitive-behavioral treatment. Offenders are
required to maintain financial obligations; including restitution, child support, and daily rent
fees, designed to defray cost of residence.
All facilities incorporate a level of supervision of Day Reporting. Offenders are 'tied' to facility
rules but live in their private residences. Rule violations can be immediately sanctioned by
having to move to a facility bed for an individually prescribed period of time.
As prisons remain overcrowded, placement in community-based facilities becomes an even
more attractive sentencing option.
