72 Year Old Friend in Prison

I don't know all the details of this case. Therefore I would not give an opinion until I knew all of the particulars of this case.

The Federaul Bureau of Prisons has a process for compassionate medical release for inmates who are severely ill. If your friend is suffering from a variety of medical conditions, he may qualify. Here is the specific information about the procedure:

FBOP also has protective custody available if it is considered likely that your friend would suffer harm or abuse due to being frail or elderly. An objective evaulation would need to take place to determine if that classification is accurate in this case.

I do not know but, if you cann get calls from him, try who I use in my sig. www.jailcalls.com for prison collect calls for less. I love this company and personally use them!
