On a nationwide basis, Pretrial Justice Reform efforts have gained momentum. The Commonwealth of Kentucky implemented Pretrial Services statewide in 1976. Since the inception of Pretrial Services there has never been a formal cost benefit analysis conducted to demonstrate the effective and efficient use of funding and resources . Kentucky Pretrial Services is housed in the judicial branch of government, which over the past three budget cycles has been grossly underfunded, experienced lay-offs, furloughs and frozen positions. The agency does not have the internal resources or expertise to perform a cost benefit analysis.
