KDOC KASPER offender search (official) (opens in new tab)
How to search: enter the person's legal last and first name, or their Kansas DOC ID number if you have it. Nicknames and misspellings usually return nothing; try fewer letters or a different spelling of the name. Use KASPER to confirm the person's KDOC number and current facility. Mail without the KDOC number isn't delivered.
What the dates mean: any dates shown, such as admission, sentence or projected release dates, come from Kansas DOC's own records. Projected dates can change (for example with earned credits, discipline or parole decisions) and are not a guarantee. Ask Kansas DOC or the facility before making plans around a date.
OutSooner does not store or list anyone's name, date of birth or ID number. The search runs on the official site.
Sentence credits
Credit rules come from Kansas law and are the same at every Kansas DOC prison. Read Kansas's good-time and earned-time rules.
