There is hereby created a program for prerelease probation of inmates confined in
correctional facilities under the jurisdiction of or under contract to the Department
of Corrections.
Any inmate who is in a prerelease program or eligible for a prerelease program as
specified by administrative regulations of the Department of Corrections may apply
to the sentencing court for prerelease probation.
The court, upon favorable recommendation of the Department of Corrections, may
place the inmate on probation under those terms and conditions the court deems
necessary, which may include but not need to be limited to those specified in KRS
533.030.
In particular, the court may require that an inmate placed on prerelease probation
remain in a halfway house approved by the Department of Corrections and that the
probationer pay the cost of his or her lodging in the halfway house and the costs of
probation supervision in accordance with applicable statutes for probation
supervision and persons granted work release from jail. Costs for lodging in a
halfway house or other facility approved, but not operated, by the Department of
Corrections shall be paid by the defendant directly to the halfway house or other
facility at the rate specified by court order or by the Department of Corrections.
An inmate placed on prerelease probation shall no longer be considered as an
inmate of the Department of Corrections but shall be considered as a defendant
placed on probation, subject to supervision by the Division of Probation and Parole,
or other agency approved by the court, and the orders of the court.
A person placed on prerelease probation by the court who violates the conditions of
his or her probation may be dealt with by the court in the same manner as any other
person who violates the conditions of probation.
The period of probation under this section shall not exceed the maximum expiration
date of the inmate applying for the probation.
