New Law Closes Offender Loophole

KENTUCKY...
Kentucky jails will be able to file monthly reports on whether offenders are paying restitution and abiding by parole conditions under a new law taking effect this year.
The law is aimed at closing a loophole that allowed offenders to earn credit toward their total prison sentence for the time they were on the streets. The loophole came about during a push in 2008 to alleviate jail overcrowding. The new provision denies credited time to people who are behind in their restitution until they pay in full.
