Early-release program will continue, for now

Franklin Circuit Court Judge Phillip Shepherd on Friday denied Attorney General Jack Conway's request to immediately bar the Department of Corrections from releasing prisoners under a new parole credit program.

Shepherd, in his order, said the Attorney General could not show that a temporary restraining order was necessary.  Tad Thomas, an assistant deputy attorney general, had argued during a Oct. 2 hearing that several people who have been released under the new program have already re-offended. But Shepherd, in his ruling, said that criminals often re-offend no matter when they are released from prison.
