Jails Considering Alternative Sentencing
Judges and jailers in some eastern Kentucky counties say overcrowded jails and tight budgets are prompting them to search for alternative sentencing for inmates. Boyd County officials are considering a plan to allow inmates to work on Saturdays on projects such as maintaining cemeteries. Carter County is considering alternative sentencing, while Greenup County started a successful work farm in April. Other eastern Kentucky counties say they think it may be a good idea.
