The conference was held by the Center for Effective Public Policy, whose goal is to help corrections and community service agencies improve their way of re-introducing sex offenders to public life.
Secretary of Corrections Roger Werholtz thinks more attention should be paid to rehabilitating sex offenders.
"I think that's where we're going to get the biggest pay off, in terms of improved public safety, is lowering that level of negative behavior once they are released from prison," said Werholtz said.
More than 150 people, mainly Kansas Department of Corrections staff, were on hand for the training.
