Crime victims/survivors often want to know about an offender's behavior while in prison. When an inmate breaks a rule in a correctional facility, a disciplinary report can be made. There are three classes of offenses and penalities:

Class I offenses - these are very serious in nature and may include crimes that would be considered felonies in Kansas and the United States. Threatening or intimidating any person, fighting and disobeying orders are examples of a Class I offense.

The penalty for a Class I offense may include any, all or any combination of the following:

• Disciplinary segregation, not to exceed 45 days;
• loss of "good time credits," not to exceed six months;
• extra work for up to two hours per day, not to exceed 30 days;
• restriction to inmate's own cell, not to exceed a period of 10 days;
• restriction from privileges, not to exceed 60 days;
• a fine not to exceed $20.00;
• restitution; or
• an oral or written reprimand.

 Class II offenses - these are of moderate seriousness and include crimes that would be considered misdemeanors in Kansas and the United States. Gambling, Insubordination and Disrespect are examples of Class II offenses.

The penalty for a Class II offese may include any, all or any combination of the following:

• Disciplinary segregation, not to exceed 15 days;
• loss of "good time credits," not to exceed three months;
• extra work for up to two hours per day, not to exceed 20 days;
• restriction to inmate's own cell, not to exceed a period of seven days;
• restriction from privileges, not to exceed 30 days;
• a fine, not to exceed $15.00;
• restitution; or
• an oral or written reprimand.

Class III offenses - these are of a less serious nature. Any violation of any published order from the secretary of corrections or warden that is not designated as a Class I or Class II offense belongs in this category. Unsanitary practices is an example of a Class III offense.

The penalty for a Class III offense may be any, all or any combination of the following: 

• Restriction to inmate's own cell, not to exceed three days;
• restriction from privileges, not to exceed 20 days;
• extra work for up to two hours per day, not to exceed 10 days;
