The coalition includes multiple businesses, chambers of commerce, colleges, non-profits, members of the faith community and other partners. By providing market certification and college courses for in-demand occupations, the Career Campus will train incarcerated students for new, worthwhile careers, while helping employers better meet their critical workforce needs.

Research shows increased employment in livable wage jobs can reduce recidivism by half. Thriving, contributing citizens lead to increased public safety and community well-being. However, KDOC lacks the space in our correctional facilities to implement a broad range of career-technical education, college courses and programming that supports success in education and employment readiness.

The first phase of this project is a 776 square foot modular classroom and small group space is located next to the minimum-security unit at Lansing Correctional Facility. The classroom was funded by Terry Dunn and donated by Donnelly College, a private university in the Kansas City, Kansas area. Donnelly has successfully operated college programs close to 20 years at Lansing.

Working with our college and career education partners, KDOC will be able to expand career-relevant training opportunities. The new education spaces will advance the concepts of how to use the best techniques, equipment and training to prepare incarcerated individuals for the workforce and success after release.

Fast Facts

  • The need is significant. Recent research shows 75% entering prison had weak employment and education histories and 50% were unemployed at the time of going back to prison
  • Kansas needs a skilled, ready-to-work workforce, and KDOC is part of the solution.
    • We release approximately 6,000 individuals each year who return to their home communities.
    • 98% of the men and women in Kansas prisons today will return to live as our neighbors and members of our society.
    • Each - if given an opportunity to gain in-demand skills - represents untapped human potential that can help businesses and the Kansas economy.
  • Completing a GED, at least one CTE and/or a least one college course while incarcerated increases the likelihood of achieving a livable wage.
  • Jobs - good jobs with benefits - often require training or certification, or in many cases an associate's or bachelor's degree.

It takes a lot of courage to step into a male-dominated field, making a difference in the lives of residents and helping the overall security of our great state. These are just a few of those stories. In honor of International Women's Day and National Women's History month, KDOC celebrates these special recognitions, as we highlight several women throughout our agency shining a light on the essential work they provide whether in facilities or through parole supervision. We look at why women got into this profession, the strengths they bring to the table, and why they are an integral asset for all units.

In Part 3, two nurses and an activities specialist exude professionalism as they put the health of patients first and foremost. We're grateful for these three and all of our healthcare professionals who we consider as unsung heroes. We close out our 3-part series looking at the healthcare of residents within KDOC. In part 3, we highlight and salute the work of two nurses and an activities therapist who epitomize what it is to respect the patients within our facilities while preserving their dignity. Like the outside world, patients are placed in positions of vulnerability as they are prodded and questioned about personal details of their body functions by people they don’t know, and who really don’t know them. Yet, healthcare professionals within KDOC exude a professionalism that puts the overall health of the patient first and foremost. Narrated by Jennifer Brunenn, KDOC Education Coordinator

In part 2 of our checkup on KDOC Healthcare, we share how we are winning the fight against Hepatitis-C and Hernias. We also take a deeper look at the Hospice program at El Dorado Correctional Facility. It’s slightly similar to the Companion programs that are in place at other facilities within KDOC, but the hospice training at EDCF is more in-depth with specific training that focuses on all levels of crisis.

In Part 1, we hear how developing a working relationship with the contract vendor, Centurion Health, has enabled more positive ideas that turned into positive outcomes. Many health problems that plague our world outside the fences, plague our world inside the fences at an even greater rate; increasing demand for healthcare services for cancer patients, substance abuse, and care for the elderly are common issues within state correctional facilities. We admit we are not perfect in addressing these problems, but healthcare within the Kansas Department of Corrections is doing a lot with what is given to us.

             

            In looking at the healthcare provided for residents within KDOC, we offer you the first of a three-part series looking at ways KDOC is addressing these issues. This week, we hear how developing a working relationship with the contract partner, Centurion of Kansas LLC, has enabled positive ideas to be turned into positive outcomes.
