In Louisiana, sick inmates with less than 60 days to live are eligible for a special release program, but they sometimes die before their requests make it through the administrative process.
A proposal in the state Legislature aims to alleviate that problem and give more inmates the chance to spend their final days outside prison by expanding program eligibility to people with less than 120 days to live.
The post Louisiana could let dying inmates out sooner under bill backed by prisons chief, bishops first appeared on Families Against Mandatory Minimums Foundation.
