TOPEKA AP The Kansas prison population fell to 8540 in June from 8784 a year earlier amid a national trend. A state law shortening parole time reduced parole violators, with officials saying parolees now face fewer triggers for reincarceration.

National figures show a 0.5 percent decline due to lower crime, more treatment, and fewer imprisonments for minor infractions.
Sedgwick County commissioners ask the Kansas Supreme Court for relief after a state judge found them in contempt for not fully funding his superior court budget request.

Without Supreme Court action, other chief judges could repeat such moves. Buchanan must respond by August 27 in Topeka as the Supreme Court considers stays or injunctions and holds hearings.
