This bill changes who qualifies for mandatory reentry supervision, a program that allows some inmates to finish their sentences outside of prison under monitoring. Under the new rules, people with two or more prior violent offense convictions, or who have been sent back to prison for violating probation, parole, or similar conditions, would no longer be eligible. The bill also requires the Department of Corrections to publish a yearly report on how the program is working. Who it may affect: people currently or previously incarcerated in Kentucky, and their families.
