History
1976 Wichita Work Release began operation at North Fairmont as a co-correctional program in January 1976, with an initial capacity of 22 inmates.
1978 The program relocated to north Market and expanded its population capacity to 55 inmates.
1984 Population capacity increased to 76 inmates.
1988 Population capacity increased to 100 inmates.
1989 The program's capacity increased to 182 upon the KDOC's termination of its community residential contract with VIP, Inc. Those inmates from the VIP, Inc. contract were absorbed into WWRF in two buildings on north Market, the WWRF building and another leased by the KDOC to accommodate the influx.
1990 In November, the facility moved to its current location at Emporia and Waterman streets. Population capacity was 198 inmates: 188 male and 10 female.
1996 The administrations of Wichita Work Release Facility and Winfield Correctional Facility were combined, making WWRF a satellite unit of WCF.
2002 The women's work release program was transferred to Topeka. As a result, the capacity was expanded by 52 beds, resulting in a total capacity of 250 inmates.

The capacity is 250 minimum-custody male residents.  The purpose of the work release program is to prepare selected residents for release and to assist them in making a successful transition from the institutional environment back into free society. Work release offers a unique opportunity to realize correctional objectives while permitting the participants to leave confinement and work in the community under close supervision and structure.

Participating residents must maintain full-time employment in the community. From their wages, the residents must pay a room and board fee, transportation expenses, court costs, restitution, dependent support and other outstanding debts. They also must accumulate savings prior to release from custody. At the same time, participants are responsible for their own medical and dental expenses and maintenance of their room as well as general use areas of the facility.

Other Programs

Inmates also can participate in Reaching Out from Within, al self-help program for inmates who are committed to change and to giving back to the community.

Reaching Out From Within is a Kansas City-based non-profit organization founded in 1982 by violence prevention advocate and author SuEllen Fried. The program is dedicated to providing programs that prevent violence in our community. By breaking the cycle of violence, participants become contributing members of their families and society. Incarcerated men and women lead meetings using a curriculum written by offenders that teaches life skills and encourages them to make positive changes in their lives.

The WCF program began in 1994. Meetings, which are open to every inmate in the facility, are held two nights each week. During the meetings, inmates work with various materials and reference books that help in their quest to learn new ways to meet life's challenges and change their behavior. Select program participants, who have met special criteria, routinely speak to students and other groups in their community about choices and consequences.

Giving back to society in a meaningful way is one of the core beliefs of the program. The group gives back to society by supporting charities.

For more information, see the Reaching Out From Within website at http://www.rofw.org.
