It is possible for a prisoner to apply for medical parole if he or she falls ill while serving a prison sentence. However, this depends on the situation, only some special conditions, when certain conditions are met, can be released on medical parole. There are many illnesses for which medical parole is available, but most of them are very serious. But criminals still enjoy basic medical care, and prisons generally have medical facilities, so ordinary conditions are not subject to medical parole.
1, special conditions can apply
Special conditions are many, such as psychiatric, organic heart disease, hypertension, etc., after reaching a certain level, it is possible to apply for medical parole. But before applying, you need to have a designated forensic hospital to make a judgment, and only when certain conditions are met will you be eligible for medical parole. This type of condition is rare, though, and it is rare for people to develop such serious illnesses while in prison. Unless one has this type of illness to begin with, then one can undergo certain tests before going to prison. When one's body meets the conditions, then one can go to prison to serve the crime.
2. Prison medical facilities
According to the relevant laws, criminals are entitled to basic medical care. There are specialized medical institutions in prisons to ensure that criminals can live a safe and healthy life after entering the prison. The level of these medical institutions is comparable to the level of medical insurance for local urban residents, so we don't have to worry at all. In the case of sick persons, they will also be given appropriate care and differentiated treatment. Common colds and fevers can be treated directly in prison. Although there is such a thing as medical parole, there are still very few who actually use it and apply for it.
3, medical parole execution period
Criminals on medical parole, can be counted in the execution period. However, in some special cases, this period is not counted. For example, if you use improper means to obtain medical parole, self-inflicted injury to delay medical parole, or go out without permission, it will not be counted as a period of execution.
