KRS 533.015

Whenever a statute mentions probation, shock probation, conditional discharge, home incarceration, or other form of alternative to incarceration, that alternative may include a community-based, faith-based, charitable, church-sponsored, or nonprofit residential or nonresidential counseling and treatment program or drug court, and, upon petition by the defendant, the court may sentence or permit the defendant to attend that program. This program may also be used for pretrial release and pretrial diversion.
