Adult Residential Center

The Johnson County Department of Corrections Residential Center is a 200 bed, community based, facility that provides a highly structured environment for offenders ordered by District Court to our program. This program consistently receives very high scores from both the American Correctional Association and the Kansas Department of Corrections, during their detailed inspections of our program. This is accomplished by the work of the Departmental leadership, Residential leadership, and mostly, the hard work and drive to be "The best in the business" by the Case Managers, Line staff, and Support staff.

The main objective of the Residential Center program is to reintegrate clients into the community as successful, productive citizens.

This is accomplished by:

1) A structured 24 hour program.
2) Professional, well trained, and well compensated staff.
3) A modern, well maintained facility.
4) Individual Programming Plan for all residents, to include:

  • On-site Mental Health Programs
  • AA/NA meetings
  • Resource Development
  • Voluntary Religious Services
  • Substance Abuse Education and Counseling
  • Relapse Prevention
  • Pre-Employment Training
  • Intensive two week orientation program for new residents
  • G.E.D. and other educational opportunities
