Correctional reform bill linked to family dysfunction services
Jennings criticized sending at risk youth to mixed groups of offenders and urged placement with agencies specializing in family dysfunction. The Kansas Department of Corrections and the Office of Judicial Administration will implement the bill, with the Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee overseeing progress. The 2016 bill targets full implementation by 2019, with延 deadlines through mid year and beyond. Bowman asked for extra time to vet issues before recommendations to state agencies. Two main problem areas identified include systemic issues and program vetting.

Proposals create Immediate Intervention Program diversions for minor offenses but lack a centralized criminal history database. A Detention Risk Assessment Instrument will score youth risk as custody decisions hinge on breakpoints. KDOC and DCF show rising custody numbers despite declines in other counts, with local counties already using diversion and risk tools for years.
