The KDOC is a cabinet-level, executive agency responsible for administering the state correctional system. The Department:

 Administers felony sentences of adult offenders committed to the custody of the Secretary of Cor- rections;

 Operates correctional facilities for incarceration of adult felony offenders;

 Provides community supervision of offenders re- leased from prison;

 Provides program services to offenders to assist them in preparing for successful return to the community; and

 Administers grants to local governments pursuant to the Community Corrections Act.

The Secretary of Corrections is responsible for the

overall management and supervision of departmental operations. The agency’s central office is located in Topeka, and has three major divisions:

 Facilities Management — oversees operations of eight correctional facilities located in 10 commu- nities;

 Community and Field Services — supervises pa- role field operations statewide with offices in 19 communities and administers grants to 30 local community corrections programs; and,

 Programs, Research, and Support Services — manages and oversees offender programs and services (including inmate medical care and food service), most of which are contracted. This divi- sion also includes staff development, Kansas Correctional Industries, research and planning.

The facilities management division, under the guidance of the Deputy Secretary of Facilities Man- agement, is responsible for the oversight and coordi- nation of facility-based operations and inmate move- ment. Daily operations at correctional facilities are the responsibility of their respective Wardens. The KDOC’s central office responsibilities include:

 System-wide policies and procedures  Oversight of facility operations

 Capital improvements planning and project management

by the National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC) and the American Correctional Associa- tion (ACA). However, the maintenance of the NCCHC and ACA accreditation status has been suspended due to budgetary constraints. The KDOC plans to pur- sue re-accreditation as resources allow.
