Crime Wave: $60M in Grants Available to Combat Prison Reentry in Kentucky
LEXINGTON, Ky. – U.S. Attorney Robert M. Duncan Jr. of Eastern District of Kentucky on Thursday announced that nearly $60 million in grants is available to help communities address public safety by supporting successful reentry of adult and juvenile offenders into their communities.
