Show Notes
Nebraskas Inspector General report reveals that inmates eligible for medical parole have died due to a lack of outside housing and long-term care options. From 2018 to 2023, at least four people passed away while awaiting placement. The state correctional system struggles to find suitable community spots for seriously ill prisoners approved for release. The state is now pushing for more community-based care partnerships and has opened a new medical unit to handle acute cases better. The Inspector General recommends expanding options to prevent future tragedies.
