It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.
While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.
Lansing Correctional, Kansas' largest and oldest correctional complex for adult males, houses up to 2,500 inmates. The complex comprises the Central Unit, with an 11-acre maximum-security and a 46-acre medium-security facility, alongside the 85-acre minimum-security East Unit. Serving as one of two centers for the Kansas Department of Corrections' transportation system, LCF facilitates resident movement among the state's correctional facilities.
Education, health services, and food services at LCF, like other facilities under the Secretary of Corrections' management, are provided through contracts with private vendors. Originally known as the Kansas State Penitentiary, the facility was renamed Lansing Correctional Facility on June 18, 1990, following legislative changes. In 1987, the Osawatomie Correctional Facility was established, later becoming a satellite unit of LCF in 1990.
Programs and services at LCF include Kansas Correctional Industries and Private Industries, offering vocational training in areas such as commercial food service and welding. The Life Skills Enhancement Program integrates academic education, literacy, and GED programs with vocational training, including employability guidance. The Therapeutic Community Program, initiated in 1996, fosters lifestyle changes and recovery skills acquisition among residents, while the Sex Offenders Treatment Program (SOTP) targets male sex offenders for habilitation and successful community reintegration.
Additionally, LCF hosts a Vehicle Maintenance department managed by resident employees and staff mechanics, overseeing maintenance for over 100 vehicles. The Chaplaincy Department coordinates religious support for various faith groups among residents, and Activities Support offers diverse resident activities, including health and fitness, arts and crafts, and self-improvement groups, often led by volunteers from the Kansas City area.
Throughout its history, LCF has maintained a commitment to rehabilitation and resident well-being, evidenced by its accreditation by the American Correctional Association in 1991 and subsequent perfect scores in accreditation audits. Despite challenges posed by aging structures, LCF continues to provide essential services and programs aimed at supporting residents' transition back into society and fostering positive lifestyle changes.
LCF maintains a database of current inmates and their locations within the system. To locate an inmate, begin by using the DOC locator tool, which requires entering the first three letters of the inmate's first and last name, allowing for variations in spelling.
If unable to locate the desired information through free resources, users may opt to use the Arrest Record Search, which requires payment. While this option incurs a small fee, it provides access to the most up-to-date data available.
Once an inmate is eligible for visiting privileges, the inmate is responsible for ensuring that his visitors receive the necessary paperwork to register as visitors. For more information, please review IMPP 10-113D: Offender Visitation.
