History

Nancy Burghart — 2014-02-07T01:40:00Z

The Topeka Juvenile Correctional Facility was established in 1879 as the State Reform School and as the state's first institution for juvenile rehabilitation in the state. In 1901, the school was renamed the State Industrial School for Boys. In 1971, younger offenders who had been adjudicated delinquent or miscreant were transferred to the Atchison facility. In 1974, the name of the institution was changed to the Youth Center at Topeka. The former name, Topeka Juvenile Correctional Facility, was established during the 1997 Legislative Session. On July 1, 1997, responsibility for the juvenile correctional facilities in Kansas was transferred from the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services to the Juvenile Justice Authority. In the spring of 2005 operations of Topeka Juvenile Correctional Facility and the new Kansas Juvenile Correctional Complex were merged under the Kansas Juvenile Correctional Complex name.

Correctional counselors provide individual counseling and evidence-based programming. Offenders participate in such programs as Thinking for a Change, Aggression Replacement Training (ART), Skill Streaming and Motivation to Change. A certified Offender Workforce Development Specialist also assists in preparing juveniles for re-entry into the community.

Through the chaplain department, female offenders also participated in the Girls Scouts and KAIROS, a prison ministry program.

Overview

Nancy Burghart — 2014-02-07T01:40:00Z

Located on approximately 60 acres in northwest Topeka, the Kansas Juvenile Correctional Complex (KJCC) is a medium- and maximum-security facility for male and female juveniles.

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.

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.

Overview

Nancy Burghart — 2014-01-27T20:55:00Z

The Wichita Work Release Facility (WWRF), a satellite unit of the Winfield Correctional Facility, is an all-male, minimum-custody state prison located in Wichita in south-central Kansas. The capacity is 250 minimum-custody male residents. The purpose of the work release program is to prepare selected residents for release and to assist them in making a successful transition from the institutional environment back into free society. Work release offers a unique opportunity to realize correctional objectives while permitting the participants to leave confinement and work in the community under close supervision and structure.

Participating residents must maintain full-time employment in the community. From their wages, the residents must pay a room and board fee, transportation expenses, court costs, restitution, dependent support and other outstanding debts. They also must accumulate savings prior to release from custody. At the same time, participants are responsible for their own medical and dental expenses and maintenance of their room as well as general use areas of the facility.
