Shock Probation Preparation Guide
Summary
Shock probation in Kentucky allows early release after serving part of a sentence. Eligibility doesnt guarantee approval; the judge decides based on behavior, rehabilitation, and support. For an 8-year sentence, parole eligibility is after 20% (1.6 years) for non-violent offenses. Consider character references, rehabilitation, and legal representation to improve probation chances. Shock probation is possible but depends on the judges discretion and documented rehabilitation efforts.Full Conversation

Is there anything else you need
my boyfriend took a plea deal for 8 years consecitive and his PSI said he is elligable for probation does that me he will get probation and come straight home if not how long will he have to do in prison?
Eligibility for probation mentioned in the PSI (Presentence Investigation Report) doesn’t guarantee that he will get probation. The judge will still have to decide whether to grant it.
Could you please share more details about his case, like the type of offense or any previous criminal record? This might help in understanding the situation better.

Re: Request for Probation from Sentencing for [Your Boyfriend's Name]
Dear Judge [Judge's Last Name],

He has a strong support system outside of prison, including family, job offers, and community support. We believe that his long period without criminal activity and his positive efforts towards rehabilitation make him an ideal candidate for probation.
We are committed to supporting him as he transitions back into society and believe that probation will allow him to continue his positive contributions without the need for further incarceration.
