Larned Juvenile Correctional Facility is PERMANENTLY CLOSED

The staff of the Larned Juvenile Correctional Facility (LJCF) said goodbye as the doors of the facility were permanently closed on March 3, 2017. The facility capable of housing 128 male youth stood empty that afternoon.

The remainder of the declining number of juveniles housed by the Kansas Department of Corrections (KDOC) at Larned were recently transferred to the State’s sole correctional facility for youth, the Kansas Juvenile Correctional Complex in Topeka. The state has seen a decline in the number of incarcerated juveniles by about 35 percent since 2010.

The facility employed about 140 full-time workers. The decision to close the facility was announced in July of 2016.
