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.
