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 or reentry center 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 or reentry center.
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.
