The following is a list of all KDOC facilities eligible for PREA audits. Under the federal PREA mandate, a correctional facility is audited once every three years in a rotating cycle, beginning in 2014 with three facilities and continuing with three each year.

As facilities are audited and their corresponding audit reports are submitted to the KDOC, the audit report will be posted here in the corresponding facility. Lack of an audit report indicates that an audit has not been completed.

Hutchinson Correctional Facility’s K-9 Unit exists not only for escapes and contraband searches within the prison system but is also available to assist police and sheriff departments within a reasonable proximity of the prison.

To properly utilize the K-9 Unit to its full potential, guidelines have been established to help the dogs succeed in their efforts. However because of the number of individuals involved in an initial search, please adhere to the following points from the beginning of the search if the dog team is to be successful:

1. Request assistance as soon as possible.
2. Secure the area from all unnecessary foot or vehicle traffic.
3. Do not handle or disturb potential scent articles.

Click here for the guidelines which will help you better understand what needs to occur before you call a dog team.

HCF also houses one of two centers for the KDOC’s transportation system that provides for the movement of residents among the state's correctional facilities.

As with other facilities under the management of the Secretary of Corrections, education, health services and food services are provided through contracts with private vendors.

Because many of HCF's structures were constructed between 1889 and 1912, an emphasis has been placed on rehabilitating and repairing the aging structures.
