Probably, there are no rules for granting long paroles to paralytic and bedridden prisoners. Waste of Govt money.
Parole, means a prisoner is granted leave for few days to go home to attend some family event or for treatments. Such paroles are usually for 15 days to 30 days.
Laws are codifications of Reasons. If a law is controlling movement of any person, then there are supposed to be some reasons behind it.
But I see no reasons in keeping minor criminals in jail suffering from paralysis, parkinson disease, partial lung failures above 40%, or otherwise bedridden and constantly in need of medical support.
I have seen such clients. I have also come across orders where long parole are refused as there do not appear such rules.
Now science has produced foot-cuffs with GPS devices. Then such prisoners can be released on long paroles by jail authorities. This can reduce financial burden of State in keeping such prisoners in jail.
