The Alabama Medical Furlough Act establishes a procedure for the discretionary medical furlough of certain incapacitated inmates convicted of certain criminal offenses.
This bill would require the Department of Corrections to annually identify all prisoners who have spent 30 or more days in an infirmary or under a physician's care to determine if the prisoner is eligible for a medical furlough. Upon a determination that the prisoner is eligible for medical furlough, the bill would require the expedited furlough of the inmate, subject to any restrictions deemed appropriate by the department.
This bill would also provide that prisoners who have reached a certain age and who have served a certain percentage of their sentence are eligible for medical furloughs under certain conditions.
Assigned Act No. 2017-355.
