Kansas. Legislative Division of Post Audit (Topeka, KS)

Published 1999. 58 pages.

Staff shortages in Kansas prisons are covered by relief staff, operational staffing, or overtime. Staffing levels have been experienced that compromise staff safety, with a correctional officer being raped. In general, correctional officers are paid less in Kansas than in most neighboring states, a nearby federal facility, and some of the larger local law enforcement agencies. Lower salaries are contributing to turnover and recruitment difficulties. Corrections officers use hand-held radios and body alarms most often. One in four correctional officers surveyed said their safety had been threatened due to faulty communications equipment. Accession Number: 015458
