The department may promulgate administrative regulations to implement
conditional parole of state inmates incarcerated in state corrections institutions or
local correctional facilities or county jails to place those individuals closer to their
communities prior to release. A parolee placed on conditional parole shall serve that
term in a local correctional facility or county jail in a county in which the fiscal
court has agreed to house parolees if beds are available in the local correctional
facility or county jail.
The department may authorize parolees on conditional parole to be placed on work
release. If a person placed in a county jail on conditional parole under subsection (1)
of this section is granted work release, he or she shall pay the work release fees
required by law to the jailer. The amount of work release fees paid by a parolee
shall be deducted from the amount which the Department of Corrections shall pay
for the placement of that parolee.
Local correctional facilities or county jails housing parolees under subsection (1) of
this section shall have the same rights and obligations as county jails housing felons
pursuant to KRS 532.100.
Administrative regulations promulgated pursuant to subsection (1) of this section
relating to eligibility of an individual for conditional parole shall take into
consideration, at a minimum, the following information about the individual:
(a) The offense for which the individual was convicted and his or her
rehabilitation efforts while incarcerated;
(b) The security classification while incarcerated in the state correctional
institution;
(c) Conduct while incarcerated in the state correctional institution;
(d) Ability to find employment in the community; and
(e) The availability of additional applicable education, treatment or intervention,
and training for employment in the local correctional facility or county jail, if
needed by the individual.
