The partnership between Kansas Correctional Industries, other state agencies, and other qualified organizations extends far beyond providing resident-produced goods and services. KCI’s line include paint products and street signs to metal benches and office furniture. Keeping customers pleased serves as a cornerstone for community growth and individual rehabilitation, as was the case when Clinton State Park recently unveiled its new Visitor Center complete with new chairs and desks built by residents at Lansing Correctional Facility and KCI.

In honor of National Womens History month, KDOC highlights several women throughout our agency who were not swayed by the historic perception of this industry as male-dominated. Instead, they stepped forward, bringing immense strength, professionalism, and dedication to our facilities and parole offices. As we look at why these women chose this profession, it is clear that they are an essential asset to our mission and the overall safety of our state.

Former Lansing Correctional Facility Resident, Aaron Smallwood, cites education and his faith as keys to his path toward redemption. He was released September 6, 2024 after serving 28 years in KDOC custody. During his incarceration, he earned a college degree from Donnelly College and became a mainstay with the Brothers In Blue Reentry program. Since his release, he has a fulltime job at Zephyr Products, a Private Industry partner with KDOC. Smallwood was invited to speak at the University of Kansas School of Education & Human Sciences Black History Month Celebration. He has written two books and told an audience of mostly KU Education students, faculty, and other supporters, that successful reentry is a slow process.

Students enrolled in Washburn University programs at the Topeka Correctional Facility are making historic and remarkable achievements!
• 91 students were enrolled in associate and bachelor’s degree programs this past fall.
• 54 of those students qualified for academic honors.
• This means 59% of the TCF student body earned a place on either the President’s List (4.0 GPA) or the Dean’s List (3.4-3.99 GPA). 🎉
Four students became the first to have graduated with their bachelor's degree at TCF!
This level of academic success is a testament to their perseverance and the support provided by the staff at TCF. Our congratulations to them on their outstanding performance and to the staff and administrators that helped make it possible.

One of the most powerful programs at the Topeka Correctional Facility is having students at Kansas State University correspond with some of the residents as part of a Pen Pal program. It’s part of a curriculum designed by K-State and TCF administrators. The highlight of the program is a day when the Pen Pals can sit face-to-face during a voluntary visit by the students and professor. We were there to capture their most recent visit.
