Female juvenile offenders now housed at a north-central Kansas facility will be transferred to Topeka because of state budget problems.
Gov. Mark Parkinson has announced that the Beloit Juvenile
Correctional Facility will suspend operations Aug. 28. The closing
is expected to save the state $1.4 million during the current
fiscal year.
The Juvenile Justice Authority says it will move the 22
offenders housed there to the Topeka Juvenile Correctional
Facility.
The Topeka institution will add 20 staff members. The Beloit
facility has 47 employees.
The Topeka facility now houses only male offenders.
But the Juvenile Justice Authority says the female offenders
will be kept separate from the male offenders. They'll use separate
buildings, with a new security fence in between.
