This program statement identifies the scope and nature of the physical improvement required for Kansas' Lansing Correctional Facility-East.
Abstract
Lansing Correctional Facility-East, formerly known as the Kansas Correctional Institution at Lansing, was established in 1977 to provide a separate facility for female offenders convicted of felony and serious misdemeanor offense. In 1978 legislation was passed to restrict commitment to felony offenders, and in 1981 the facility began housing a small number of minimum custody male offenders in addition to the female offenders. In 1984 a survey and evaluation of all buildings of the facility found it to be in unacceptable physical condition. The scope and nature of the physical improvements required for facility renovation are presented in this report. This report includes a mission statement, design concepts, security concepts, the architectural program, a staffing summary, renovation cost estimates, and a project schedule. Overall, the plan encompasses the renovation or remodeling of existing buildings, additions to existing buildings, and the upgrading of both indoor and outdoor recreation and visitation areas. The possibility of future expansion is included by planning for the construction of a second dormitory that will be used by medium-security male or high-security and medium-security female inmates.
