WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — An inmate of the Winfield Correctional Facility has died while on a work detail in Wichita.

It happened Tuesday afternoon near the Kansas Department of Transportation facility at K-254 and Hillside. The Kansas Department of Corrections says 59-year-old Michael Youngblood was part of a work crew cleaning up trash along the highway when he collapsed.
