DOWNLOAD THIS REPORT IN PDF FORMAT

The Kansas Offender Risk Reduction & Reentry Plan (KOR3P) contains a vision for offender success and community safety through comprehensive statewide risk reduction and reentry initiatives and services. This plan will outline the current status of the work, and the objectives and strategies for the future. Our vision is that Kansas can be a national leader, through innovative approaches such as resource-blending, marketing, sound policy, collaborative and widely-supported systems change and integration, rigorous evaluation and faithful course-correction. It is our desire and plan to demonstrate that through success-oriented and evidence-based practices, centered around engaging case management, the number of Kansans (and Americans) going to prison can decrease, neighborhoods can be revived and transformed; children of offenders can escape the stigma, confusion, and emotional upheaval of having a parent in prison and escape the cycle of incarceration; and hope can be rekindled in the hearts and homes most impacted by the enormous rates of imprisonment and re-imprisonment in this state and country. Kansas enjoys leadership in the state, and at the national level, and has the opportunity to participate in an exciting endeavor to implement and sustain risk reduction principles as a permanent part of offender management.
