Application Process: There is no formal application that is specific to commutation of sentence.

Applications are available by contacting: Commonwealth of Kentucky Office of the Governor 700 Capitol Avenue, Suite 100 Frankfort, KY 40601 Tel: (502) 564-2611 Fax: (502) 564-2517 Click here for sample clemency forms. An official clemency application must be requested directly from the Office of the Governor. Letters of recommendation in support of the request for commutation must also accompany the application. Letters may be submitted from all sources, including but not limited to the following: neighbors, employers, co-workers, pastors, church members, elected officials, judges, prosecutors, and family members. Submitting a completed application will result only in a consideration for a commutation of sentence. There is no assurance that one will be granted. The Governor's Deputy Counsel reviews all applications and forwards them to the Governor for final decision. Every effort has been made to make this information accurate and up-to-date.
