The El Dorado Correctional Facility is a maximum security prison that holds many high risk convicts, including Dennis Rader, the so-called "BTK killer". It is also home to Kansas' Reception and Diagnostic Unit (RDU).
Established in 1993, El Dorado Correctional Facility was constructed due to the growth in inmate population in Kansas. The Facility consists of: Three segregation units being A,B, and C cellhouses. A & B are generally the administrative segregation houses. Inmates in these two houses generally have a very long rap sheet of disobeying rules, are very violent, or are placed there on 'Protective Custody'. C cellhouse is the 'disciplinary segregation' house, which is where inmates who have disobeyed the rules are placed. D & E cellhouses are the RDU units, which processes EVERY male in the KDOC system. East A and East F are the general population units, as is U-Dorm (dormitory-style setting of general population). Information on inmates in the KDOC (Kansas Department Of Corrections) can be found at http://docnet.dc.state.ks.us/kasper2/input.asp .
