From what I get from this pdf. file is that life in prison in Kansas means eligible for parole in 25 years.
"The crimes of capital murder (KSA 21-5401), murder in the first [FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]degree (KSA 21-5402), and treason (KSA 21-5901) are designated as off-grid person crimes. The term of imprisonment for these crimes is life. Persons convicted of off-grid crimes, other than capital murder, will be [/FONT][/FONT]parole eligible after serving 25 years in confinement for premeditated first-degree murder, or 50 years in certain premeditated first-degree murder [FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]cases in which aggravating circumstances are found by the sentencing court. Kansas law also provides for the imposition of the death penalty [/FONT][/FONT]under specified circumstances, for a conviction of capital murder. See [FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]KSA 21-5401 and KSA 21-6617. Felony murder and treason carry a term of life imprisonment with a 20-year parole eligibility date. See KSA 22-3717(b)(2)."[/FONT][/FONT]
Sorry I can't figure out how to put the link in without blowing the margins......
