  family requests otherwise.   Registered victims or family members mus
 t receive written notice of the time and place of the session at least
  one month in advance. If the required notification is not provided\, 
 the Board must postpone the parole suitability hearing as provided by 
 law. (Kansas Legislature⁠).  The Kansas Prison Review Board will off
 er in- person public comments sessions in addition to its existing vir
 tual platform for public comments sessions\, providing participants wi
 th both in-person and remote opportunities to provide comments to the 
 Board.  \n\nPublic comment sessions allow individuals to share relevan
 t information with the Board before a parole decision is made. Comment
 s may include information regarding the impact of the crime\, public s
 afety concerns\, an inmate’s release\, or other matters the commente
 r believes should be considered.\n\n\n•	Date: September 23\, 2026\nT
