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.

| History | |
| 1976 | Wichita Work Release began operation at North Fairmont as a co-correctional program in January 1976, with an initial capacity of 22 inmates. |
| 1978 | The program relocated to north Market and expanded its population capacity to 55 inmates. |
| 1984 | Population capacity increased to 76 inmates. |
| 1988 | Population capacity increased to 100 inmates. |
| 1989 | The program's capacity increased to 182 upon the KDOC's termination of its community residential contract with VIP, Inc. Those inmates from the VIP, Inc. contract were absorbed into WWRF in two buildings on north Market, the WWRF building and another leased by the KDOC to accommodate the influx. |
| 1990 | In November, the facility moved to its current location at Emporia and Waterman streets. Population capacity was 198 inmates: 188 male and 10 female. |
| 1996 | The administrations of Wichita Work Release Facility and Winfield Correctional Facility were combined, making WWRF a satellite unit of WCF. |
| 2002 | The women's work release program was transferred to Topeka. As a result, the capacity was expanded by 52 beds, resulting in a total capacity of 250 inmates. |
