CorrectionsWeek2024 Part01

The foundational goal at the Kansas Department of Corrections is to always help people come out of prison better than they went in. Today, there are 3,400 staff members working in KDOC facilities throughout the state that are helping those residents who want to change, attain that foundational goal. They, along with their peers across the country, are being recognized and honored for their dedication and service over the next 7 days as we observe National Correctional Officers’ and Employees’ Week. To that end, we dedicate this week and two video reports to our Unsung Heroes of KDOC. We have team coverage that shows the character of people who work throughout our facilities as they help make a difference in the countless lives we come in contact with every day of the year.
