The Maryland division of correction medical-parole program: a four-year experience, 1991 to 1994

Article Abstract:

Maryland's medical-parole program reveals that early release of terminally ill HIV prisoners can be ensured without endangering public safety. Most terminally ill inmates in the correctional facilities are denied parole until they die or before their compulsory release. About 50% of the medical-parole inmates died, with only 50% surviving at the end of a study. The reincarceration of 3% inmates is a public safety concern for Maryland Division of Correction. A multidisciplinary approach is needed to assess candidates for early release, with a sound aftercare plan.
