Larned, KS 67550-0280
History
The name of the facility was officially changed on April 27, 2023 from Larned Correctional Mental Health Facility to the Larned State Correctional Facility.
Overview
The facility provides programs that have been shown to reduce recidivism in the target population.
LSCF consists of a medium-security central unit with 310 beds and a minimum-security South Unit with 304 beds.
As with other facilities under the management of the Secretary of Corrections, education, health services and food services are provided through contracts.
Programs
While services for medical and education are contracted for through private vendors, the facility’s food service is supported by the Larned State Hospital. However staffing at LSCF is contractual. Meals are prepared at the state hospital kitchen and transported to the LSCF for serving to the Central Unit inmates. South Unit inmates eat their meals under LSCF staff supervision at the state hospital cafeteria.
Chaplaincy Services
The facility provides opportunities for inmates to practice their respective religious faiths. A full-time chaplain is the liaison for religious services and volunteers in the community.
Reeentry
Reentry services provide programming, such as Thinking for a Change courses and support for offenders based on the inmate’s specific risk and need areas as defined by screening and offender behavior.
Private Industries
Inmate employee positions are available in non-prison based industries programs for minimum-custody West Unit inmates. These programs are designed to help inmates learn and practice the pro-social skills and good work habits required to be self-sufficient, productive citizens ready to practice responsible crime-free behavior.
Once an resident is eligible for visiting privileges, the resident 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.
