What is a Corrections Record?

0
10

Each criminal charge is handled at the appropriate court level, dependant on jurisdiction. If a person is convicted of a more serious crime at the state level, it will be forwarded to the State Department of Corrections for supervision. This typically includes felony and higher level misdemeanor convictions. However, each state determines its own procedures. Departments of Corrections Records contain only conviction information and are typically statewide searches. The benefit is most DOC records go back at least 10 years. We provide links to all 50 States DOC databases. We also provide contact information for the DOC. Not all states consider these records public. Federal criminal convictions are handled by the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
