Located at 1737 SE US Hwy 54 in El Dorado, KS, EDCF carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. EDCF offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.
The EDCF, Kansas' most recent correctional institution, emerged from a 1988 class action lawsuit addressing prison conditions. Initially built at a cost of $58 million, it housed 640 adult male residents, with room for future expansion of 725 beds. Over time, modifications and expansions were made, including a 115-bed medium-custody dormitory in 1995 and two additional cell houses in 2001, totaling $17.5 million. EDCF's Central Unit commenced operations in January 1991, situated one mile east of El Dorado on State Highway 54.
EDCF caters to special management, maximum, and medium-custody residents, typically housing repeat offenders with a history of violence. The facility's ethos emphasizes incarceration as punishment rather than for punishment. It aims to enhance residents' capacities and motivations for responsible, pro-social, crime-free behavior through various programs and services aimed at risk reduction and reentry efforts.
EDCF accommodates the most dangerous and resistant residents in long-term involuntary segregation. Furthermore, all male offenders under the Secretary of Corrections' custody are processed through EDCF's Reception and Diagnostic Unit (RDU). Here, residents undergo orientation, receive custody classifications, and are assigned to appropriate programs and permanent housing. Given its specialized operations, EDCF's management and activities have system-wide implications for the corrections system.
Similar to other Secretary of Corrections-managed facilities, EDCF outsources education, health services, and food services to private vendors. This arrangement ensures the provision of essential services to residents while managing the facility efficiently.
EDCF 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 a 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.
