Wichita ? Prosecutors want to make sure BTK serial killer Dennis Rader cannot get items in prison – even markers or crayons – that he could use to draw or write anything that would satisfy his sexual fantasies.

That and other possible conditions of his incarceration will be taken up at a hearing Wednesday at the El Dorado Correctional Facility. The proceeding will also involve questions about restitution, defense fees and disposition of evidence.

Prosecutors have also asked that Rader be barred from seeing or listening to news reports regarding his murders and prohibited from making audio or visual recordings other than for law enforcement purposes.

Rader was sentenced Aug. 18 to 10 consecutive life sentences for a string of murders that terrified Wichita for decades. But Judge Gregory Wailer did not rule at that time on the prosecution’s request for additional restrictions on how Rader spends his years behind bars.

Kansas law at the time that the murders were committed allows the judge to make recommendations on the conditions of a defendant’s imprisonment to the Kansas Department of Corrections.

BTK – which stands for “bind, torture and kill” – is the name Rader gave himself in taunting messages to police and the media that started in 1974. After years of silence, he resurfaced last year with communications to the media that ultimately ended in his arrest in February.

He pleaded guilty at a nationally televised hearing in which he gave chillingly detailed descriptions of stalking and killing his victims.

Georgia Cole, spokeswoman for the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office, declined to disclose the amount of restitution prosecutors were seeking until it is presented at Wednesday’s hearing. She also said the district attorney’s office was not going to comment before then about the prison conditions it is seeking.

The prosecution’s request for the more restrictive incarceration – first presented at Rader’s sentencing in August – surprised defense attorneys at the time, who told the judge they had not had time to research the issue.

Rader’s attorneys, two of whom were on vacation, could not be reached for comment. Deputy defense attorney Jama Mitchell did not return messages.

The hearing is being held at the El Dorado prison primarily because of security concerns over transporting Rader back to Wichita, as well as the convenience of holding it in the most expeditious manner, Cole said.
