I feel that the new law should pass to allow inmates, that have PFO and done served half the time, should be able to be released.There are over 7,792 inmates in Kentucky alone sentenced as persitent felony offenders, violent offenders or both at a cost to the state of $169 million. Many are offenders who were convicted of the lowest level, often non-violent felonies. One felony is a serious conviction with serious consequences. But if you look at the 7,700 you have a lot down at the Class D range. An average of 1,440 Kentucky inmates are sentence of 11 years for an underlying offense classified as only a Class D felony, the lowest level felony offense under state law. A question that one might ask is, do you really want to incarcerate those persons for this aggravated length of time at a significant Cost to you? And by keeping felony offenders in prison for decades have not shown to be effective in all cases because it carries significant costs and, studies show, older inmates are less likely to reoffend. I,m doing this petition, because I feel that it could help and save Kentucky lots of money. Plus I feel for the Class D offenders with PFO, should have as much rite as the offenders that have done same crimes !! But had to serve out 10yrs because of the PFO.
