The link below is to the section of the Kansas Dept of Corrections which will allow you to search public records about inmates, parolees, etc.  The page describes what info is available, and what is not.\n\nIt has a link to the actual search engine.\n\n(This does not have info about people in Federal prison in Kansas.  You would have to go to the Fed. Dept of Corrections, Justic Dept., inmate finder for that information.)

The religion of "I am sorry I got caught"\n\nReligion in prison is bullshit...just like in society...

You should look for a local prisoner's rights organization.

I know a lot of folks who've been in the joint (I live in a poor neighborhood & I used to work in construction). \n\nFrom what I know, prison sucks for both genders - it's boring, there are a lot of a**holes in there, the clothes are ugly, the medical care is inadequate and the guards will kick your ass in a heartbeat.\n\nAnd there are a LOT of fights in jail - and a lot more tension. Male prisoners are CONSTANTLY trying to avoid fighting - since fights = lockdown and on lockdown you're stuck in your cell and that really sucks (no commissary, no phone calls, no lifting weights or playing basketball in the yard ect).\n\nThat's why ex jailbirds tend to be overly polite - in prison, if you even THINK you insulted another prisoner, you say you're sorry immediately - otherwise there WILL be a fight - and I just told you what happens when they fight - it screws it up for everybody\n\nBut, the food is good, and they have really big portions \n\nThis is true for both men and women\n\nFor guys, there is a LOT of the gay stuff- but it's mostly CONSENSUAL \n\nMost guys admit they had sex with men in the joint, but they swear that they were "the man" and the other guy was "the bitch" (of course, at least 50% of them are lying)\n\nOf course, there are jailhouse rapes (and, legally speaking ALL prison sex is rape since prisoners are considered legally dead in terms of civil law when they are inside and therefore they cannot consent to sex) but most jailhouse sex is consensual (men with no other outlet doing what they have to do to fulful their urges)\n\nIn women's jails, their is a LOT of lesbianism (and here, it's almost 100% consensual, it's almost unhead of for a woman to rape another woman in the joint)\n\nAnd there is a lot of sex with the guards - male Corrections Officers give special "favors" to their little prison girlfriends - more food, special items that the commissary doesn't stock, better work assignments ect\n\nlegally, that's all rape (and from time to time DoC cracks down on the guards who have sex with prisoners)\n\nThere's also a lot more fighting in women's prisons.\n\nThe guys tend to avoid fights since the consequences are so serious and they get super polite to make sure that they don't have a fight unless there's no other choice\n\nWomen in prison aren't like that \n\nYou know how women are on the outside ? They love to argue and pick fights, and they won't drop it until they win?\n\nWomen are WORSE in the joint!\n\nArguments will start at the drop of the hat (women prisoners even ARGUE WITH THE CO'S! Since male CO's are less likely to kick a woman prisoner's ass than a male, the girls know they can get away with it)\n\nAnd, since  the DoC isn't as quick to use teargas, mace and nightsticks against fighting women inmates, the women know the consequences aren't as serious as they are in the male institutions\n\nso the girls fight all the time, over dumb stuff (just like women do in the real world)\n\nIn other words, prison sucks for women just as much as it does for men, but in a slightly different way!
