Prisoner Review Board

Under the indeterminate release structure, the Prisoner Review Board ^[4] determines when an incarcerated inmate will be released. Furthermore, the Board establishes supervision conditions of parole and conditional release,^[5] discharges successful parole and conditional releasees from supervision per the recommendation of the parole officer and revokes the release of those who have violated the conditions of their supervision.

On July 1, 1993, the legislature enacted the sentencing guidelines system. In this process, the Prisoner Review Board gained the responsibility of establishing conditions of supervision for inmates released on post-release supervision. The board is also responsible for revoking those individuals who have violated their conditions of release. Under both systems, the Prisoner Review Board has the responsibility to review executive clemency applications and make recommendations to the Governor regarding the clemency.^[6]

Community & Field Services

The community and field services division^[7] has two units - parole^[8] and community corrections.^[9]

Victim Services

The Office of Victim Services (OVS)^[10] provides confidential support and information to victims, survivors, and witnesses if the offender in the crime was sentenced to incarceration in the Kansas Department of Corrections. Services provided include victim notification,^[11] safety planning,^[12] victim restitution,^[13] parole comment session advocacy, Victim/Offender Dialogue (VOD) program,^[14] facility tours, and apology letters.^[15]
