RRM Kansas City at a glance
RRM Kansas City is one of the Bureau of Prisons’ 22 Residential Reentry Management field offices. Its page prints four lines — Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska — which between them reach six federal judicial districts. It works from State Avenue in Kansas City, Kansas, in the Bureau’s North Central Region, and administers ten halfway-house contracts.

What does RRM Kansas City do?
It is the Bureau’s contracting and liaison office for community placement across its four states, and it holds nobody. The Bureau describes the job on its Offices page: RRMs “administer contracts for community-based programs and serve as the Federal Bureau of Prisons local liaison with the federal courts, the U.S. Marshals Service, state and local corrections, and a variety of community groups within their specific judicial districts,” and that “RRM Staff also monitor local Residential Reentry Centers” (read September 18, 2026).
The label is new, the post old. Program Statement 7310.04 writes of a Community Corrections Manager on every page, and Program Statement 5325.09, issued June 22, 2026, records at p. 1 that it “Changes Community Corrections references to Residential Reentry Management (RRM).” Paperwork that names a CCM for Kansas or Missouri means this office, and so does the Bureau’s Community Corrections Manual.
Which federal judicial districts does RRM Kansas City cover?
Four lines, six districts. The page prints bare state names — Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska — and a state name with no division attached reaches every federal judicial district in that state. Kansas is one judicial district under 28 U.S.C. § 96 and Nebraska is one under § 107. Iowa is two — the Northern and Southern Districts under § 95 — and the undivided line reaches both. Neither state has a federal prison on the Bureau’s September 2026 roster.
Missouri is the one that needs care. The state is divided into an Eastern and a Western District by 28 U.S.C. § 105, and this office prints the name without a division, so its line reaches both. RRM St. Louis separately prints Eastern Missouri. The result on the Bureau’s own pages is that two offices are listed for the Eastern District of Missouri and RRM Kansas City alone is listed for the Western District. Neither page says which office takes a given referral, and this one does not decide it either.
Where the coverage stops is worth stating too. The Bureau’s Offices page puts Colorado in this same region, and Colorado is a single judicial district under 28 U.S.C. § 85; but on the twenty-two reentry pages as they read on September 18, 2026, no office printed the District of Colorado. Montana, Utah and Wyoming are in the same position. That is a gap in what the Bureau publishes, and this page assigns nobody to it.
Which office ends up with a file follows the release district rather than the prison. Program Statement 7310.04 at p. 12 tells the warden, where significant doubt about a referral exists, to consider “contacting the Chief USPO in the release district.”
Which halfway houses does RRM Kansas City oversee?
Ten contracts on the Bureau’s national list in September 2026, with 504 beds of contract capacity between them. A row on that list records a contract, not an available bed, and the figures are the capacities the contracts were written for.

| Dismas Charities, Inc. | 401 Central Avenue | Kearney, NE 68847 | RRC | 16 M / 4 F / 20 | August 31, 2028 | 502-636-2033 |

The spread follows the districts: one in Iowa, three in Kansas, four in Missouri, two in Nebraska, each marked RRC/HC, the Bureau’s code for a contract covering both reentry center beds and home-confinement supervision. Three of the Missouri contracts stand in the Eastern District, which RRM St. Louis also prints, so those rows appear on both pages. The Wichita row is reproduced as the Bureau prints it, spelling and all, and links to the national directory because its record carries no contract code.
What a residential reentry center requires of a resident is set out on the Bureau’s page for these centers: “Ordinarily, offenders are expected to be employed 40 hours/week within 15 calendar days after their arrival at the RRC,” and the subsistence charge “is 25 percent of their gross income, not to exceed the per diem rate for that contract” (read September 18, 2026).
When does halfway-house and home-confinement placement happen?
Two clocks run. Release preparation begins first: Program Statement 5325.09 provides at p. 8 that “Inmates will be enrolled in the RPP between 18 and 24 months prior to their institution departure date to the community.” The referral follows later: Program Statement 7310.04 at p. 13 provides that “Normally 11 to 13 months before each inmate’s probable release date, the unit team shall decide whether to refer an inmate to a Community Corrections program.” That statement carries a 1998 date.
The statutory limits are separate from the policy calendar. Under 18 U.S.C. § 3624(c)(1) part of the final months of a term, “not to exceed 12 months,” prepares a person for release. Home confinement under § 3624(c)(2) is “the shorter of 10 percent of the term of imprisonment of that prisoner or 6 months,” and Program Statement 7320.01 at p. 5 assigns the duty to this office: “The Community Corrections Manager (CCM) shall ensure that each appropriate inmate is placed on home confinement as soon as otherwise eligible.” Prerelease custody earned with First Step Act time credits answers to neither ceiling: § 3624(g)(10) provides that “The time limits under subsections (b) and (c) shall not apply to prerelease custody under this subsection.”
When credits begin to accrue is changing. Until September 30, 2026, 28 C.F.R. § 523.42(a) ties the start to “the date the inmate arrives or voluntarily surrenders at the designated Bureau facility where the sentence will be served”; from that date an interim final rule at 91 Fed. Reg. 55740 (Aug. 31, 2026) removes it, so the rule reads that “An eligible inmate begins earning FSA Time Credits after the inmate’s term of imprisonment commences.”
How do I contact RRM Kansas City?
Calls go to 620-307-7531; the fax is 913-551-1120. The Bureau publishes the mailbox CKC-CCM-S@bop.gov for the office. Staff mail goes to RRM Kansas City, Residential Reentry Office, 400 State Ave., Ste 800, Kansas City, KS 66101.
The Bureau prints two room numbers for the same building: Room 131 in the street block and Suite 800 in the staff-mail block. Use the staff-mail block for post, exactly as printed.
No prisoner mail goes to this office. It is administrative. Mail for a person in a halfway house goes to that center under the center’s rules, and mail for someone still inside goes to the institution; the inmate locator shows which applies. Passes and daily rules are the center’s; the referral is the unit team’s.
Can someone in a halfway house or on home confinement under RRM Kansas City request compassionate release?
Yes, and it goes to this office rather than to a warden. Program Statement 5050.51, issued September 3, 2026, provides at p. 3 that “‘Warden’ includes Residential Reentry Manager for requests filed by inmates designated to an RRC or on home confinement.” Such a request “must address why RIS is appropriate notwithstanding the inmate’s placement in prerelease custody,” and it “will be sent to the Residential Reentry Management Office responsible for the jurisdiction in which the inmate is confined.” In the Eastern District of Missouri, where two offices are listed, that is whichever holds the placement. Our compassionate release page explains what the request has to establish.
How do administrative remedies work for people under RRM Kansas City?
The same four steps as inside, with a different first address. Program Statement 1330.18 provides at p. 6 that “CCC inmates may mail their Requests to the CCM” — now the Residential Reentry Manager. At p. 9 it sets the response times: “by the Warden or CCM within 20 calendar days; by the Regional Director within 30 calendar days; and by the General Counsel within 40 calendar days,” each extendable once on written notice, and an unanswered filing may be treated as a denial at that level. Our guide to filing a BP-9 sets out the order.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does RRM Kansas City list states rather than districts?
Because that is how the Bureau prints the field: Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska. A bare state name reaches every federal judicial district in that state, so the four lines stand for six districts. Kansas and Nebraska have one each; Iowa and Missouri have two each, under 28 U.S.C. §§ 95 and 105.
Does RRM Kansas City cover both Iowa districts?
As the Bureau prints it, yes. The line reads Iowa with no division, and Iowa is divided into a Northern and a Southern District by 28 U.S.C. § 95, so the undivided word takes in both. No other reentry office prints an Iowa district, and the state has no federal prison on the September 2026 roster.
Which reentry office handles a release to St. Louis?
The Bureau lists two. This office prints Missouri without a division, which reaches the Eastern District, and RRM St. Louis prints Eastern Missouri as well. Both pages are the Bureau’s own and neither says which takes a given referral, so it is a question for the unit team.
Where is the RRM Kansas City office?
At 400 State Ave., Kansas City, Kansas 66101, in Wyandotte County — on the Kansas side of the state line, not the Missouri side. The Bureau prints Room 131 in the street block and Suite 800 in the staff-mail block for the same building. Nobody is housed there.
How many halfway houses does RRM Kansas City contract with?
Ten, on the Bureau’s national list in September 2026, holding 504 beds of contract capacity: one in Iowa, three in Kansas, four in Missouri, two in Nebraska. Three of the Missouri contracts sit in the Eastern District, which RRM St. Louis also prints, so they appear on both pages.
Which reentry office covers a release to Colorado?
None of the twenty-two prints it. Colorado is one judicial district under 28 U.S.C. § 85 and sits in the same North Central Region as this office, yet on the reentry pages as they read on September 18, 2026 no office listed it. Montana, Utah and Wyoming are in the same position.
Who starts a halfway-house referral for a release to Kansas or Nebraska?
The unit team at whichever institution holds the person. Program Statement 7310.04 at p. 13 gives that team the referral decision, normally 11 to 13 months before the probable release date, and the warden approves the packet before it reaches a reentry office, which then works with the contractor.
Can a person on home confinement under RRM Kansas City ask for a reduction in sentence?
Yes. Program Statement 5050.51 treats the Residential Reentry Manager as the warden for requests from people designated to a reentry center or on home confinement, and the request goes to the office responsible for the jurisdiction where the person is confined. It must explain why a reduction is warranted despite the prerelease placement.
Where we can help
Four states and an overlapping district make for a particular set of problems: a Missouri release address that two offices are listed for; a referral that stalls because the release district and the sentencing district are in different states; time credits not applied to the date a placement is measured from; and removal from a center or from home confinement. A reduction in sentence sought from prerelease custody is filed here under Program Statement 5050.51. We cannot guarantee an outcome.
That work sits beside prison consulting for people still inside and our early release practice.
