Mills v. Thompson & Parker, Kentucky Court of Appeals, No. 2011-CA-002211-MR (2013)
A prisoner sued the Kentucky Department of Corrections claiming that the Department of Corrections’ Commissioner did not have the authority to adopt a tobacco-free policy at adult correctional facilities in the state. The court found that the Commissioner had clear authority under state law to implement a tobacco-free policy in state-run correctional facilities and dismissed the prisoner’s claim.
