Wichita Work Release Facility

Congratulations to the residents pictured here for successfully completing the Taking a Chance on Change (TCC) program.



TCC is a structured cognitive-behavioral program that may be offered as a self-administered intervention or in an inclusive classroom environment where residents may join others who are committed to working on bettering their lives, being productive with their time, and gaining the skills necessary to help them successfully return to society as law-abiding citizens.

WWRF Resident Michael Brisco has been attending the Old Town Barber College since May 14, 2024, to obtain his Barber License. He recently graduated from the college and took both of his state board tests and passed. He is now an official Barber with the Kansas Board of Barbering.

Congratulations to Mr. Brisco.

Please be advised that Warden Snyder has declared a nonessential staff Inclement Weather Day for WCF & WWRF for February 18, 2025. To the rest of our staff that will be working shift, stay safe and warm!

We will watch the weather today for further declarations or extension if needed.

It is with great pleasure that we announce Trent Gunter as the new Major for the WCF/WWRF. Trent was hired on as a COI at Winfield in 1995.
