Bevin in Jail for Contempt | Louisville News

Former Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin is serving a 60-day jail sentence for contempt of court after failing to submit child support documents — some of which were heavily blacked out. His legal team is pushing for early release, arguing Judge Angela Johnson didn’t give him a fair shot to comply before sentencing. The judge rejected requests to shorten his term or serve it from home, calling his actions “intentional disregard” and insisting he’ll serve the full sentence — though she hinted at possibly reducing it after 30 days. Meanwhile, rumors of special treatment in jail — including a Texas Roadhouse meal and cell phone — are under investigation by corrections officials.
