Serious and Violent Offender Reentry
Initiative Grantees
Kansas Department of Corrections (Amount: $1,000,000*)
The Kansas Department of Corrections will target offenders ages
18–34 who have served a minimum of 12 months in prison and are
considered to pose a high risk to the community. The targeted population
will be released to Shawnee County. The reentry program will include
family reunification, mental health treatment, law enforcement
participation, volunteers, mentors, and rewards for success. For more
information, read this grantee’s workplan.
Local contact: Margie J. Phelps, 785–296–3128.
Kansas Juvenile Justice Authority (Amount: $1,000,000*)
The Kansas Juvenile Justice Authority will reform the admissions
and release processes at its correctional facilities and enhance
community transition and long-term support in the South Central
Kansas areas of Sedgwick, Cowley, and Butler/Elk/Greenwood Counties
and in the Northeast Kansas areas of Shawnee, Johnson, and Wyandotte
Counties. These areas correspond to the 13th, 18th, 19th, 3d, 10th,
and 29th judicial districts, respectively. Grant funds will also
be used to implement a full needs and risk assessment process in
one institution, allowing it to develop a process also suitable
for Topeka, Beloit, Larned, and Atchison Juvenile Correctional
Facilities. The program will also provide for regular monthly communication
with families and field staff, and improved community contact through
teleconferencing.
Local contact: Ted Martinez, 785–296–4213.
