Prison Description

The El Dorado Correctional Facility (EDCF) Kansas’ newest correctional facility, was constructed as a result of a 1988 class action lawsuit challenging prison conditions. EDCF's philosophy is that offenders are sentenced to incarceration as punishment, not for punishment. During an inmate's incarceration, it is our responsibility to increase offenders' abilities and motivations to practice responsible, pro-social, crime-free behavior through the provision of programs and services designed to assist with both risk reduction and reentry efforts.

I am aware that he will be going through an evaluation for the first 14 days he is in your facility, but after that period of time is over I am unclear as to what he is allowed to do as far as contacting us.
