Department Overview

The Rice County Department of Community Corrections works closely with criminal justice system stakeholders, schools, victim service agencies, youth service agencies, social services and community groups to address the characteristics of offenders that lead to recidivism. As a Community Corrections Act county we serve juvenile and adult probationers as well as offenders who are released from Minnesota prisons. We take an evidence-based approach to supervision focusing our efforts on offenders with the highest risk and most critical needs.
