The June 2023 Public Comment Sessions will be conducted using a Zoom Webinar platform. Sessions will be offered on June 6th and 21st, 2023. Individuals noted on the July 2023 Public Comment Offender List will be included in the June sessions for comments. Please be advised that the Prisoner Review Board will be accepting comments for offenders with hearings scheduled in July and August 2023. Those interested in attending or submitting correspondence to the Board may do so by registering and joining the scheduled Zoom Webinar and/or by mailing written comments to the PRB address included in the information below. Please utilize the Public Comment Forms in support or opposition in regard to offenders included on the offenders list for the upcoming January public comment sessions. Please mail correspondence to the address provided below by no later than Friday, June 30th (for those included on the August PE list below) and on Friday, July 28th for those included on the September PE list below).

The Prisoner Review Board hereby announces the schedule of public comment sessions to be held in June 2023 via Zoom Webinar.   These specific comment sessions are held so that comments can be received from any interested citizens concerning residents who are entitled by law to a parole hearing during the months of July and August 2023, as public comment sessions will not be held during the month of July.  The attached list shows the county of convictions, which is not necessarily the resident's home, nor the county to which the resident would return if granted parole. If parole is granted, the earliest the resident could be released from incarceration would be in August or September 2023.  Meetings will be conducted on the dates as indicated below:  

IMPORTANT:  The Zoom meeting link to be posted on/after May 25th, 2023 will serve as your personal registration for the upcoming June 6th public comment session.  Please follow the prompts within the registration page for confirmation and additional details.  Those wishing to attend the session are asked to join promptly at 9:00 a.m.  The session will end after the last participant/s that have joined at the designated start time have spoken to the Board.   

**Please note that registration for the June 6th session will close at 12:00 p.m. (CST) on Monday, June 5th.  Those interested in attending, must be registered prior to this time, as requests for late registration will not be permitted.

The Prisoner Review Board is interested in knowing the view of citizens concerning the possible parole of these residents. Any citizen who would like to express comments on these residents, but is unable to attend one of the Public Comment Sessions, may send a letter to: KANSAS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, PRISONER REVIEW BOARD;  714 SW JACKSON STREET, SUITE 300;  TOPEKA, KS 66603.

Residents are required by law to receive a hearing when they become parole eligible. Parole eligibility is not necessarily the same as parole suitability. In determining parole suitability, the Parole Board considers the following ten areas: 1) crime; 2) prior criminal history; 3) program participation; 4) disciplinary record; 5) reports of physical/mental examinations; 6) comments received from the victim, the public and criminal justice officials; 7) prison capacity; 8) input from staff where offender is housed; 9) proportionality to sentence guidelines; and 10) risk factors revealed by any risk assessment.
