Kentucky Smart on Crime
The Kentucky Smart on Crime Coalition pushes legislative reforms to support common sense alternatives to unnecessary incarceration for low level offenses. We need to update our laws at the front-end through sentencing reform and supporting reintegration efforts like earned parole at the back-end. We are working toward smart on crime policies that strengthen public safety.
