Supreme Court Courtroom, Capitol, Frankfort
You are invited to a joint news conference hosted by the Kentucky Court of Justice and the Pretrial Justice Institute on June 6 at the Capitol. We will be announcing that the Department of Pretrial Services at the Administrative Office of the Courts will be taking part in PJI’s 3DaysCount Campaign. The public and media are invited to attend.
3DaysCount is based on the premise that even three days in jail can leave many people less likely to appear in court and more likely to commit new crimes because of the stress incarceration places on jobs, housing and family connections, and that commonsense solutions can lead to better outcomes, enhanced public safety and more effective use of public resources.
Who: Speakers will be Chief Justice of Kentucky John D. Minton Jr., Pretrial Justice Institute CEO Cherise Fanno Burdeen, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul’s State Director Jim Milliman, State Rep. Jason Nemes, Chief Regional District Judge Karen A. Thomas of Campbell County, Kentucky Public Advocate Damon Preston, Jefferson County Commonwealth’s Attorney Thomas B. Wine and Christian County Jailer Brad Boyd
When: Wednesday, June 6, 2018, 2:30 p.m. ET
Where: Supreme Court Courtroom, State Capitol Building, 700 Capital Ave., Frankfort
