NOTICE T0 VISITORS

AS OF MARCH 1, 2008
All persons entering a Kansas Department of Corrections (KDOC) facility are subject to search,
including an electronic (metal detector and parcel x-ray machine) and/or physical search. Any
individual who refuses to be searched will be denied entry into the facility.
To help prevent weapons and other dangerous objects from being introduced to a correctional facility,
highly sensitive metal detectors have been installed at each KDOC facility. The metal detectors used by
KDOC are safe and do not affect or interfere with the operations of pacemakers or defibulators but may
be more sensitive than those used at courthouses, airports or other public applications. The following
procedure may already be in effect at some facilities but will be fully effective for all visits on and after
April 1, 2008.
In order to successfully clear the metal detector, you will need to be mostly free of metal objects. You
will be asked to place all personal items on a tray for inspection. Be prepared to remove your watch,
jewelry, belts, badges, suspenders, hair accessories and/or eyeglasses. Buckles, metal stays, snaps, and
under-wire bras may also cause the detector to activate. It may also be necessary that you remove your
shoes.
Please note that some medical devices that are worn or some medical implants may activate a metal
detector. Orthopedic implants such as hip and knee replacements will almost always activate an alarm.
In addition, implanted plates, screws, wires, nails, rods or pacemakers may be detected as well. If you
have a medical condition that may prevent you from clearing a walk-through metal detector, you will
need to provide the facility with written documentation from a physician stating the condition(s) that
may possibly prevent you from clearing the metal detector. For persons unable to walk through the
metal detector (non-ambulatory) written documentation from a physician will be required. The
documentation must be provided prior to entry into the facility.
In order to expedite the entry process, all persons entering the facility should avoid excess jewelry, metal
hair accessories, and clothing with metal affixed (buckles, snaps, stays etc.). Individuals will be given
three opportunities to clear the walk through metal detector. If the person has not cleared after three
attempts a hand held metal detector will be used. A pat search of the area where a medical device is
located may be required in order to determine that no other items are in that area. Persons needing handheld
detection may have to wait until others are processed through the walk-through detector. Please
expect a delay if you are unable to successfully clear the walk-through metal detector. Individuals who
do not clear the walk through and hand held metal detectors will not be permitted to visit on that day.
The Kansas Department of Corrections is committed to operating safe and secure correctional facilities.
While we understand that searches can be an inconvenience, they are critical to the department’s
mission. We ask that you cooperate with our mission by reporting to the facility with as little metal or
other items on your person as possible.

Secretary of Corrections
