Inmates: medical parole.

Existing provisions of law generally regulate the granting and conditioning of parole. This bill would provide for release to parole to a medical facility, as specified, by the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, if those prisoners are eligible for certain levels of care, as specified, and would not pose a threat to public safety. Those provisions would not apply to a condemned inmate, or any inmate who is serving a sentence for which medical parole is prohibited by the 3-strikes initiative statute or by any other initiative statute. The bill would direct wardens or their representatives to undertake certain actions in conjunction with these releases to medical parole, and would make other conforming changes.
