Probation
Probation is an alternative to incarceration. Probation involves the supervision of adult individuals in the community as a result of a suspended sentence or deferred judgment. Probation clients undergo risk and needs assessments, case planning, and referrals to community agencies. The Probation/Parole Officer monitors the progress of clients on supervision by focusing on core correctional practices. Probation supervision is the largest service provided by community corrections.
Pursuant to Section 905.14 of the Iowa Code, a person placed on probation shall be required to pay an enrollment fee of three hundred dollars to the district department. The supervision fee can be paid in one sum or installments prior to the end of the term of supervision. Make a payment here ↗
