Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway filed suit yesterday to block the early release of prisoners that’s part of that state’s department of corrections cost-cutting plan passed by legislation last year.( Article )
Conway’s suit moves to enjoin early releases being made on several points, including that they are not being made limited to non-violent offenders, but without differentiating between crimes that had been committed. Conway also says Kentucky’s department of corrections has illegally undertaken the early releases by improperly applying legislation passed last year, and is asking the Court to “enter an order mandating that the prisoners wrongfully and illegally released by the Department of Corrections be immediately re-incarcerated and parolees wrongfully released from parole supervision be readmitted to parole.” ( Complaint )( TRO Motion )
