]]>Residents are normally adjudicated of offenses that would be considered a felony if committed by an adult and are traditionally the state’s most violent juvenile offenders. Placement is determined by a matrix, which was implemented on July 1, 1999. The matrix was designed to place serious and violent offenders in a juvenile correctional facility and nonviolent offenders in community-based programs.
KJCC also houses the reception and diagnostic unit (RDU) where all male and female offenders enter the juvenile correctional facility system. A 21-day assessment is undertaken operates a 60-bed to determine an appropriate treatment program.
The KJCC facility is divided into an east campus for male residents and a west campus for female residents. The complex is composed of five areas: the diagnostic/classification area, maximum and medium-security housing for male residents, secure female housing in the stand-alone Q/R/S/T building on the east campus, central programs areas and administrative/support areas. All areas are located within a secure perimeter fence, with the exception of administration and some general service areas. The facility is currently funded to operate 235 beds.

Community Service Work
Inmates at Winfield Correctional Facility provide thousands of hours of community service work each year to non-profit entities after certification that the service work will not displace community-available jobs. This program provides labor for those approved agencies and provides inmates with valuable job skills and work ethics that they can utilize upon release. Long-term community service work includes:
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.
