| History | |
| 1984 | Winfield Pre-Release Center opened on the grounds of the Winfield State Hospital, providing primarily pre-release programming services. The population capacity was 141 inmates. |
| 1989 | Having expanded both in terms of size and facility mission, the name of the facility was changed to Winfield Correctional Facility. The population capacity was 290 inmates. |
| 1996 | Winfield State Hospital closed. As a result, Winfield Correctional Facility absorbed many buildings and the infrastructure and support units from the hospital. During the transition, an additional dorm was added, increasing the capacity to 522 inmates. In September, the administrations of Winfield Correctional Facility and Wichita Work Release Facility were combined. |
| 1998 | A therapeutic community substance abuse treatment program was implemented. |
| 2000 | InnerChange Freedom Initiative (IFI), a 12-18 month, values-based pre-release program, began operation in March with the capacity to serve 158 inmates. |
| 2002 | In June, IFI was transferred from Winfield to Ellsworth Correctional Facility. |
| 2003 | The therapeutic community program was closed effective January 31, 2003. |
| 2004 | The population capacity was increased to 556 inmates. |
| 2007 | Due to renovations, the capacity decreased to 554 inmates. |
| 2009 | Due to budget constraints, B Unit was closed in early 2009, reducing the capacity to 378. It was re-opened in June 2009, bringing the capacity back to 554 inmates. |
| 2010 | Pioneer Balloon opened a private industry onsite, employing up to 12 inmates at minimum wage jobs. |
| 2011 | WCF contracts with the Cowley County Jail to house up to 50 inmates in response to population increases within the KDOC. |

WCF is located in Cowley County in south central Kansas. The facility is located on the north side of the city of Winfield at the site of the former Winfield State Hospital and Training Center.
WCF serves a re-entry function designed to provide a smooth transition from an institutional setting to the community for residents expected to be paroled in the near future.
Wichita Work Release Facility, in Wichita, provides selected residents the opportunity for community reintegration prior to their actual release from custody. Residents are housed in the highly structured residential setting and are expected to become gainfully employed on a full-time basis in the community.
As with other facilities under the management of the Secretary of Corrections, education, health services and food services are provided through contracts with private vendors.
