Kansas release countdown
Enter dates from the official Kansas DOC record and see the days to go. The dates are kept only in this browser on this device and are never sent to us.
What this page can and can't tell you
Can: An estimate for planning. Nothing you type is sent to us.
Can't: It can't give an official release date, say whether a specific person qualifies, or give legal advice. Only the DOC, the board or a court decides.
Important: credits are subject to exclusions in the law, can be forfeited, and are applied at the DOC's discretion. Don't make release arrangements based on an estimate. Confirm the date with the DOC.
Free legal help: Legal Services Corporation: find legal aid (civil matters). For criminal cases, ask the public defender's office that handled the case.
Estimate, not official. This only counts days to the dates you type. Only Kansas DOC or the parole board sets release dates, and they can move.
