Description

Jolie Harris, writing alone, shares lessons from a plan to move sick inmates out of Angola prison in Louisiana, in work from twenty twenty-three. Angola is the largest top-security prison in the country, with over one thousand inmates aged sixty or more. Most serve life terms. The state weighed a medical furlough scheme: move frail, ill inmates to long-term care homes under parole watch.

Harris walks through site visits, talks with prison and care home staff, and a tool to grade care needs. The role of the parole officer and the rules for care homes get close looks. So do the views of inmates and of care home residents, and the scheme's impact on the town nearby.
