Sec. 54-131d. Conditions of release on medical parole. - Connecticut Statutes

      Sec. 54-131d. Conditions of release on medical parole. (a) The Board of Pardons and Paroles shall require as a condition of release on medical parole that the parolee agree to placement and that he is able to be placed for a definite or indefinite period of time in a hospital or hospice or other housing accommodation suitable to his medical condition, including his family's home, as specified by the board.

      (b) The Board of Pardons and Paroles may require as a condition of release on medical parole periodic diagnoses as described in section 54-131c. If after review of such diagnoses the board finds that a parolee released pursuant to sections 54-131a to 54-131g, inclusive, is no longer so debilitated or incapacitated as to be physically incapable of presenting a danger to society, such parolee shall be returned to any institution of the Department of Correction.
