439.600 Extension of limits of place of confinement -- Conditions.
(1)
(2)
The commissioner, or a person he delegates, may extend the limits of the
place of confinement of a prisoner if there is reasonable cause to believe the
prisoner will honor his trust, by authorizing him, under prescribed conditions, to:
(a) Visit specifically designated places within the boundaries of Kentucky for
a period not to exceed seven (7) days and return to the same institution or
facility. An extension of limits may be granted only to permit a visit to a
dying relative, attendance at the funeral of a relative, the contacting of
prospective employers, or for any other compelling reason consistent with
the public interest, or to promote the welfare and rehabilitation of the
inmate; or
(b) Be transferred to a medical facility outside the correctional facility for a
period of time as required to receive necessary medical services not
available in the institution; or
(c) Participate in an educational training program in the community on a
voluntary basis while continuing as a prisoner of the institution or facility to
which he is committed or confined; or
(d) To do work at paid employment in the community on a voluntary basis
returning to the institution or to the facility at night.
A prisoner authorized to work at paid employment in the community under the
provision of this subsection shall surrender to the commissioner of the
department, or his designate, his earnings, less standard payroll deductions
required by law. After deducting from the earning of each prisoner an amount
determined to be the cost of the prisoner's keep and confinement, which sum
shall be deposited in the Kentucky State Treasury as trust and agency receipts
at the place of confinement of the inmate, the commissioner of the department,
or his designate shall:
(a) Allow the prisoner to draw from the balance a reasonable sum to cover
his incidental expenses;
(b) Retain to the prisoner's credit an amount deemed necessary to
accumulate a reasonable sum to be paid to him on his release from
prison;
(c) Cause to be paid any additional balance as is needed for the support of
the prisoner's dependents.
