Message From the Office of the Secretary of Corrections:

KDOC News — 2018-10-24T21:05:00Z

We have determined that changes in management will be beneficial to the agency and to the incumbents currently assigned as Wardens.

Effective immediately the following changes in facility management will be implemented:

Paul Snyder, currently Warden at El Dorado Correctional Facility, has been appointed as Warden of the Winfield Correctional Facility / Wichita Work Release Facility;
Sam Cline, currently Warden at the Lansing Correctional Facility, has been appointed as Warden of the El Dorado Correctional Facility
Ron Baker, currently Deputy Warden at the Lansing Correctional Facility has been appointed the Warden at Lansing.

All of the staff members have long histories in management of correctional facilities, and I am confident that these changes will result in a stronger correctional management team.

Please take a moment to congratulate the Wardens on their new appointments.

Secretary Joe Norwood
Kansas Department of Corrections
