The Larned Juvenile Correctional Facility has gone through several changes
since it's 1971 inception as Larned State Hospital's 30-bed Adolescent
Rehabilitation Unit. It separated from LSH in 1982, coming under the direction
of the Social and Rehabilitation Service's Youth and Adult Services section,
and with the creation of the Kansas Juvenile Justice Authority in 1997,
became one of four juvenile correctional facilities operated under the
current system.
The Juvenile Justice Reform Act, passed by the Kansas Legislature in
1996, mandates that only the most violent, serious, and chronic offenders
will be referred to juvenile correctional facilities. Additionally, it
called for specialized services based upon offender needs. With existing
LJCF programs centered around substance abuse, as well as the resources
and support services of Larned State Hospital, it was determined that
Larned would be the logical choice for a new 152-bed substance abuse and
mental health facility.
Unlike the four separate buildings utilized most recently, the new 132,000
sq. ft. facility with its perimeter fence is considered medium security.
Juvenile offenders eat, attend classes, receive programming, and live
within the confines of one building. In the new facility, each offender
is assigned a separate room, complete with restroom facilities. The facility
includes four substance abuse pods of 30 beds each, and two mental health
pods of 16 beds each.
The specialized substance abuse and mental health programs use the EQUIP
Model, which teaches the juvenile offenders pro-social behaviors, how
to manage and control anger, and how to identify and correct thinking
errors. EQUIP also provides mutual help groups and specialized classes,
such as orientation, activity therapy, parenting, independent living skills,
returnee, and release preparation, as well as chaplain services and work
study programs. Additionally, there are groups for violent offenders and
sex offenders. Offenders attend high school classes at Westside High School,
UDS #495, within the facility.
Administrative Staff
Inmate Banking
With the implementation of the centralized banking
location inmate monies are no longer sent from facility to facility whenever an
inmate’s location may change. This keeps their money available to them all the
time and eliminates the delay in setting up and posting money to a new account
when the inmate arrives at a new facility.
On June 4, 2007 the Kansas Department of Corrections began a new program for
the management of all inmate monies through the development of a centralized
inmate banking location at the Lansing Correctional Facility. All inmate
money previously held in trust accounts at the facility where the inmates were
housed, were transferred to the centralized banking location. The only
exceptions are for inmates in the work release programs at Hutchinson
Correctional Facility, Topeka Correctional Facility and the Wichita Work
Release Facility. Facility staff at each of these three work release
programs will be responsible for handling inmate trust fund monies for those inmates
housed in their work release.
Sending money to inmates except for those inmates in the work release
programs at Hutchinson Correctional Facility, Topeka Correctional Facility or
Wichita Work Release Facility
If you want to send money to an inmate, you now
need to complete a deposit coupon and send it along with the
money order or cashiers check to:
Kansas Department of Corrections
P.O. Box 187
Lansing, Kansas
66043
You should no longer send any funds to the
facility where the inmate is currently housed, except for those in the work
release programs at Hutchinson Correctional Facility, Topeka Correctional
Facility, and the Wichita Work Release Facility. This will only delay
funds availability to the receiving inmate. Correspondence sent to P. O. Box 187 will
not be forwarded to the inmate. Family and friends need to send regular
correspondence to the facility where the inmate is located.
Deposit Coupons
Funds deposited to inmate accounts are now
electronically scanned and processed and therefore require a deposit coupon
with each and every money order or cashiers check that is sent in. Both
the money order and deposit coupon must be completely filled in and contain the
senders complete name and current address. Coupons may be obtained from
the inmate. The coupon is made with special ink which allows it to be
electronically read, thereby making it unavailable to be photocopied, reproduced
or printed off of the internet in order to replicate.
The Kansas
Department of Corrections provides the deposit
coupons to the inmates at no charge. The inmates are
responsible for providing their family and friends with the deposit
coupons.
