Warden Sam Cline of the Hutchinson Correctional Facility has announced that visitation at the prison’s maximum security Central Unit has been cancelled for this weekend, December 19th and 20^th, due to the number of cases of influenza like illnesses among the inmate population.

In addition, transfers of inmates into and out of the Hutchinson Correctional Facility will be cancelled through next week. All volunteer activities at the prison’s Central Unit are cancelled until further notice. The employee holiday tours originally scheduled for Friday, December 18, 2009 are also cancelled.

These changes in visitation and volunteer programs do not affect the medium custody East Unit or the minimum custody South Unit of the Hutchinson Correctional Facility. These schedule changes are being made in compliance with the infectious disease mitigation response plan which has been developed by the Kansas Department of Corrections in recent months. The situation at the facility will be re-evaluated by the middle of next week to determine if continued changes to operations are warranted.

KJCC / Kansas Childrens Discovery Ctr Visitation 02 20 2024

David Thompson — 2024-03-20T13:15:00Z

The partnership between the Kansas Department of Corrections and the Kansas Childrens Discovery Center continues to flourish within a couple of our Visitation Rooms. KCDC has held numerous on-site visits with mothers and grandmothers with their children and grandchildren on the grounds of their Topeka Museum that is filled with games and learning activities. KDOC is slowly integrating the male facilities' Visitation Rooms utilizing KCDC'S Mobile Museum. They recently opened shop for a test run at Hutchinson Correctional Facility. And last month, they made a first time visit to the Kansas Juvenile Correctional Complex where 5 young dads were able to see and visit their children, three of whom were seeing their newborn child for the first time.

KDOC at StateFair 2023

David Thompson — 2023-09-19T19:45:00Z

KDOC has had a presence at the state fair in Hutchinson for countless years. And it was in 1990 that we built a building to house our booth of information for fair-goers. And every year, up to -40- KDOC volunteers will help man the booths and building to interact with fair-goers and answer questions from the public. Every interaction is meaningful when it comes to telling people what we do and why we do things. They understand who we do it for: it’s for everyone. So, a hearty ‘Thank you!’ to all the volunteers who sacrificed their time to talk with visitors at the state fair in Hutchinson. Here’s a video that highlights a few of those volunteers.

Kansas Department of Corrections

Among the nearly 300 names on the Kansas Law Enforcement Memorial, the names of eight Kansas Department of Corrections officers are included.
Mark Avery	Corrections Officer, Lansing Correctional Facility	Corrections Officers Mark Avery and Michael Bidatsch were on routine duty supervising the Lansing Correctional Facility recreation hall on May 22, 1993 when they were attacked and beaten with bar bell plates and a stocking cap stuffed with pool balls. Officer Avery died the next day at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Robert D. Hurd	Corrections Officer, Kansas State Penitentiary (now Lansing Correctional Facility)	On October 11, 1981, Corrections Officer Hurd died after being stabbed by an inmate who was angered by a disciplinary report that Officer Hurd was going to file.
Donald R. Martin	Corrections Officer, Lansing Correctional Facility	On August 19, 1978, Corrections Officer Martin was killed when he was attacked and beaten by an inmate who was holding a female hostage during an escape attempt.
Paul J. Weber	Parole Officer, Kansas City Parole Office	On October 19, 1976, Parole Officer Weber was killed after he went to the home of a parolee whose mother had requested assistance in removing her son from her residence. As Officer Weber followed the parolee into the kitchen, the man seized a butcher knife and stabbed Officer Weber. The parolee was convicted of assault on a law enforcement officer and first-degree murder
Henry N. Kenaga	Corrections Officer, Kansas State Penitentiary (now Lansing Correctional Facility)	On June 20, 1954, Corrections Officer Kenaga was killed after responding to a situation in which inmates, armed with guns and knives, had rushed the visiting room and seized at least six hostages. The inmates were crossing the prison yard when they encountered Officer Kenaga who then attempted to prevent their escape. Officer Kenaga was fatally shot. After a brief exchange of gunfire and a call for additional enforcement officers, the inmates were surrounded and returned to their cells. They were charged with first-degree murder.
Lee White	Kansas State Industrial Reformatory (now Hutchinson Correctional Facility)	On July 25, 1928, Officer White was supervising five inmates who were working on the new grandstands at the state fairgrounds. Officer White was struck from behind and knocked unconscious by two inmates, Glenn Bellfield and Jake Schell. The two inmates escaped and shot a young girl while commandeering her car. White was treated by a local physician and then joined the search for the escaped inmates. White was a passenger in a vehicle with other officers during the search on July 26, 1928 when the vehicle failed to negotiate a turn and flipped. Officer White, who landed under the vehicle as it came rest, died at the scene. The others suffered minor injuries. After a cross-country manhunt the two escapees were captured following a shootout in Roswell, New Mexico on July 29, 1928.
David W. Burns	Corrections Officer, Kansas State Penitentiary (now Lansing Correctional Facility)	On December 15, 1923, Officer Burns died after being shot four times by an escaped inmate. Officer Burns had traveled to Texarkana, Texas and was on a train returning with two escapees. While traveling through Alicia, Arkansas, one of the inmates shot Officer Burns four times. Before his death, Officer Burns told the doctor tending to his wounds that he was shot with a revolver believed to have been smuggled to the escapees while at the Texarkana train depot. One escapee was later caught in Arkansas. The second escapee, who had shot Officer Burns, was located following his arrest for a robbery in Meridian, Mississippi six months after Officer Burns’ death.
William H. Owens	Corrections Officer, Kansas State Penitentiary (now Lansing Correctional Facility)	On October 5, 1905, Officer Owens died from injuries suffered during an escape that occurred the day before his death. Officer Owens had taken an inmate to conduct survey work outside the penitentiary. The inmate had delivered a severe blow to Officer Owen's solar plexus that resulted in internal bleeding and a heart attack. The inmate was quickly captured and charged with felonious assault and murder.
