This report presents a detailed statistical profile of the adult offenders within the Kansas correctional system in fiscal year 1994 and describes offender commitment and release trends for the State.
Abstract
The first section of the report is a graphic summary of information on offender population levels, commitment trends, and characteristics of the offender population. There were 6,091 offenders in the inmate population, constituting 40 percent of the total. A total of 6,083 offenders were under in-State supervision (40 percent of the total), and 2,187 offenders (15 percent) were under out-of-State supervision. A total of 607 were on abscond status. There was a total of 15,089 offenders under the jurisdiction of the Kansas Department of Corrections. Subsequent sections of the report contain more detailed information and include a description of the pattern of growth in the offender population; a summary of admission and release activities occurring during fiscal year 1994; a detailed description of the characteristics of the inmate population confined on June 30, 1994; and a description of the June 30, 1994, population of offenders on supervised release. The statistical tables and graphs of each of these sections of the report are preceded by a summary of the highlights. Where possible, emphasis has been placed on comparisons of current information with that of prior years; however, much of the offense-related information is restricted to current-year offender populations. 23 tables
