DHS program oversees high risk sexual offenders at Cherokee facility
The Iowa DHS runs a nearly 70 member staff program with a 7 million dollar yearly budget that places 80 inmates in a CCUSO unit at Cherokee MHI. Offenders face a five phase treatment with annual reviews and possible indefinite civil commitment if released only by court. Some detainees oppose release while others seek it to pursue work or family needs.
