Criminal Justice Alternative Programs

Pretrial Services Program (PSP)

Department of Corrections
905 N Main, Wichita, KS 67203
316-660-1740

The mission of the PSP is to divert appropriate inmates from the Sedgwick County Adult Detention Facility and to ensure that defendants appear for court. Inmate evaluations are conducted to provide verified information to the judicial system so options other than incarceration might be exercised. Supervision services are provided for the higher risk offenders, allowing them to remain with their families and maintain employment, while ensuring their appearance in court and reducing the potential to reoffend.
