Adult Corrections
Johnson County Department of Corrections (JCDOC) operates local correctional services aimed at providing community-based alternatives to incarceration.
Criminal offenders are placed under agency supervision by direct order of the District Court in lieu of incarceration and are subject to supervision and surveillance to insure compliance with Court orders, protection of the public safety, and restitution to victims.
