The Prisoner Review Board hereby announces the schedule of public comment sessions to be held in November 2024 via Zoom Webinar.   These specific comment sessions are held so that comments can be received from any interested citizens concerning residents who are entitled by law to a parole hearing during the months of December 2024 and January 2025.  The attached list shows the county of convictions, which is not necessarily the resident's home, nor the county to which the resident would return if granted parole. If parole is granted, the earliest the resident could be released from incarceration would be in January and/or February 2024.  Meetings will be conducted on the dates as indicated below:  

IMPORTANT:  Please follow the prompts within the registration page for confirmation and additional details.  Those wishing to attend the session are asked to join promptly at 9:00 a.m.  The session will end after the last participant/s that have joined at the designated start time have spoken to the Board.   

IMPORTANT: **The upcoming registration for the November 5th session will close promptly at 12:00 p.m. (CST) on Sunday, November 3rd.  Those interested in attending, must be registered prior to this time, as requests for late registration will not be permitted.    

November 5, 2024 
9-11:00 a.m. 
Zoom Webinar 

The Prisoner Review Board is interested in knowing the view of citizens concerning the possible parole of these residents. Any citizen who would like to express comments on these residents, but is unable to attend one of the Public Comment Sessions, may send a letter to: KANSAS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, PRISONER REVIEW BOARD;  714 SW JACKSON STREET, SUITE 300;  TOPEKA, KS 66603.

Residents are required by law to receive a hearing when they become parole eligible. Parole eligibility is not necessarily the same as parole suitability. In determining parole suitability, the Parole Board considers the following ten areas: 1) crime; 2) prior criminal history; 3) program participation; 4) disciplinary record; 5) reports of physical/mental examinations; 6) comments received from the victim, the public and criminal justice officials; 7) prison capacity; 8) input from staff where offender is housed; 9) proportionality to sentence guidelines; and 10) risk factors revealed by any risk assessment.
