The first section of the report is a graphic summary of information on offender population levels, commitment trends, and characteristics of the offender population. There were 6,091 offenders in the inmate population, constituting 40 percent of the total. A total of 6,083 offenders were under in-State supervision (40 percent of the total), and 2,187 offenders (15 percent) were under out-of-State supervision. A total of 607 were on abscond status. There was a total of 15,089 offenders under the jurisdiction of the Kansas Department of Corrections. Subsequent sections of the report contain more detailed information and include a description of the pattern of growth in the offender population; a summary of admission and release activities occurring during fiscal year 1994; a detailed description of the characteristics of the inmate population confined on June 30, 1994; and a description of the June 30, 1994, population of offenders on supervised release. The statistical tables and graphs of each of these sections of the report are preceded by a summary of the highlights. Where possible, emphasis has been placed on comparisons of current information with that of prior years; however, much of the offense-related information is restricted to current-year offender populations. 23 tables
