Recent visit to Lansing Correctional Facility

I recently visited the Lansing State Correctional Facility.  Kansas Correctional Officers recently got a long awaited  2.5% raise in pay, bringing the starting pay to $13.95 per hour.  Support staff and non-uniform staff have not seen a cost of living increase since 2008. Benefits take another 9% out of their paychecks.  Based on these low wages there is staff shortages, which in turn creates safety and security issues for all Correctional staff.  Kansas Organization of State Employees (KOSE) has endorsed me because there is a better way to treat our state workers.
