0:00It's March 28th. This is Kansas News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. 11-Wars City Leaders and Corsific have now set up an oversight board for the detention facility meeting a key condition of the special use. Permit. This board brings together experts to check on permit rules, fair treatment for inmates, and safety for everyone at the site. The move comes after local approvals, pulling in voices from City Hall, the company itself, community groups, faith leaders, legal pros, corrections, specialists, and neighborhood residents. Members include city managers, police chiefs, and immigration attorney, and reps from groups like the Carceral Accountability Council and Sisters of Charity. They plan to kick things off next week with a full tour of the facility and grounds, setting the stage for regular checks ahead.
