Decommissioned in 2020 after housing inmates for more than 160 years, the Kansas State Penitentiary remains a powerful symbol of Kansas’s complex legacy of crime and punishment. While no longer housing the incarcerated, the facility is far from silent. The Kansas Department of Corrections continues to utilize the historic administration building for training and operational purposes. Most notably, the fourth floor still houses the state’s lethal injection chamber—often referred to as the “death chamber”—which remains intact and operational. Because of this, the penitentiary has not been fully decommissioned.
