Topeka Correctional Facility

Topeka Correctional Facility is located in Shawnee County Kansas.  It is a state prison that houses women.  Due to the fact that it is the only facility in the state that houses females, it also has all custody levels of inmates from maximum to minimum/work release.  It currently is at capacity housing over 764 adult females.

In 2012 the Department of Justice concluded an investigation into ongoing sexual abuse and misconduct claims that surround this facility, finding that the facility failed to protect the female prisoners from a variety of constitutional rights violations.  At one point a female inmate was even impregnated by a member of the male staff.  The facility has since made sweeping changes reassigning the facility administrator and undergoing several audits.
