The Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision, required by state and federal laws, is responsible for tracking all supervised offenders coming into and leaving Kansas, parole National Crime Information Center warrant entries and the tracking and extradition of absconders arrested out of state. The number of courtesy supervision cases is virtually an even exchange with other states.

The Interstate Commission oversees the day-to-day oversight of the compact between the states. The Commission promulgates rules to achieve the goals of the compact and ensures an opportunity for input and timely notice to victims and to jurisdictions where defined offenders are authorized to travel or to relocate across state lines.

The Commission also monitors compliance with the rules governing interstate movement of offenders and initiate interventions to address and correct noncompliance and coordinates training and education regarding regulations of interstate movement of offenders for officials involved in such activity.

ECF Timeline

1986 The Kansas Legislature approved construction of a correctional facility to house 96 minimum-custody youthful inmates convicted of non-violent crimes.

1987 Ellsworth is selected as the location to receive the new facility that will house 252 medium-custody inmates. The facility will be called the Ellsworth Correctional Work Facility (ECWF).

Michael A. Nelson is named ECWF’s first Warden. (Additional administrative staff was added in 1988.)

1988 The word “Work” is removed from the title of the facility.

The first inmates were transferred to ECF to help with construction of the facility.

The Kansas Legislature approved an expansion of the original project to provide housing for 516 multi-custody inmates.

1990 Governor Mike Hayden and KDOC Secretary Steve Davies dedicated the facility at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 5.

1994 For two years, the facility housed parole condition violators, conditional release violators and post-release supervision violators KDOC wanted to house separately from the general prison population.

1995 The Department of Corrections began assessing offender fees for the following: administrative fees for management of inmate trust fund accounts ($1.00 per inmate, per month); sick call ($2.00 per inmate-initiated visit); and urinalysis testing ($5.35 per confirmed positive test).

2000 Kansas Legislature approved construction of a 100-cell maximum security unit at ECF. Due to increasing numbers of medium custody inmates in the system, the unit is currently being utilized to house medium custody inmates and facility's segregation population.

2004 ECF’s Spiritual Life Center was constructed entirely with private donations to provide religious programs to inmates.

2006 Then-Senator Sam Brownback, contemplating a presidential run in 2008, spent the night at ECF and met with inmates on May 31.

2012 In the fall, a minimum-security unit (ECF East Unit) opened in the southeast corner of Ellsworth, housing 95 inmates, increasing the total operating capacity at the ECF Central and East Units to 915.
