Recent court opinions impacting the rights of criminal defendants during and after their criminal prosecution and incarceration:
 
1.  The right of counties to seize and keep monies in the possession of pretrial detainees to offset costs of confinement.

Racial Disparities in Kentucky's Criminal Justice System and the Pursuit of Solutions

On January 19th, KACDL and the NAACP of Kentucky collaborated with leaders in the Kentucky General Assembly on a forum to share their thoughts about how the legislature can respond to current, critical, racial injustices that call for redress in the Commonwealth. We invite all stakeholders in the criminal justice system, including NAACP and KACDL membership, justice impacted persons, civil rights leaders, prosecutors, judges, legislators and coalitions dedicated to criminal justice reform (SOC, KFTC, League of Women Voters, ACLU, KCEP, KY Council of Churches, KY Catholic Conference) to view a recording of this event in which panelists looked at key points in the processing and prosecution of criminal cases where the impact of discretion intersects with racial bias to result in injustice.
