verall, elderly inmates have lower recidivism rates than younger inmates. The 16
SLC states reported varying recidivism
rates for elderly inmates. Little research
has been conducted to examine the reasons for these
varying rates, but what information is available is
of great relevance to existing and prospective parole

Policies:
The Department of Corrections
considers inmates 65 years of age and older to be
elderly. Upon admission into a facility, inmates receive
a medical screening and are evaluated annually or
biannually, depending on their medical condition
upon arrival. There are no furlough or medical-release
programs for elderly inmates at this time.
Facilities: The Department of Corrections
maintains an 80-bed prison for elderly and infirm
inmates at the Hamilton Aged and Infirmed Center
(HAIC) in Hamilton, a facility purchased from the
Alabama Mental Health Department in 1981. Although
this prison does not exclusively house elderly inmates,
it is designed to meet the needs of older inmates with
more serious medical and physical needs. The facility
comprises five acres of housing units and can accommodate minimum- and medium-security inmates.
Security and medical policies are coordinated at HAIC
in order to provide adequate safety along with ample
medical care to the individuals housed there.

Policies:
The Department of Corrections
considers inmates 50 years of age and older to be
elderly. Every newly committed inmate arriving at
a Florida prison receives complete health appraisals
by a clinical associate, an advanced registered nurse
practitioner, or physician. These evaluations, carried
out within 21 working days of a prisoners arrival, are
reported and documented. General medical plans for
inmates are not predicated upon age, but are based on
the individual inmates needs, although factors such as
age, gender, and medical history are considered in the
evaluation. Although the Department of Corrections
does have a medical furlough program, like the medical
plan, age is not a determining factor in qualifying for
the program.
Facilities: The Department of Corrections
maintains six facilities designed to house elderly
inmates. River Junction Work Camp in Chattahoochee
is designed as a male inmate, elder care facility. It
accommodates approximately 400 elderly inmates who
do not have housing restrictions, such as convictions of
sex-related crimes or who suffer from advanced disease
that requires more extensive medical care. Union
Correctional Institution in Raiford is a maximumsecurity prison that houses elderly male inmates who
require higher level security arrangements and who
have more austere housing restrictions. Zephyrhills
Correctional Institution in Zephyrhills has approximately 75 beds for elderly male inmates who have

Policies:
The Department of Corrections
considers inmates 50 years of age and older to be
elderly. All elderly inmates entering prison must be
screened immediately and have an applicable healthcare plan constructed within 48 hours of entry. All
inmates are assessed for general medical and mental
health concerns, and an individual health plan is established for each inmate, including treatment proposals
for chronic and intermittent diseases. All major
correctional facilities have on staff several physicians;
psychiatrists and psychologists; nurse practitioners and
full-time nursing staff; as well as support staff, such
as dental hygienists, physical therapists, and dialysis
staff. The Department of Corrections requires that all
elderly inmates receive an annual health examination.
The Department employs an early medical parole,
which must be recommended by a physician, based on
a prognosis that the inmate has less than a year to live or
is unable to live without significant medical assistance,
such as reliance on a life-support system. Another
consideration for early medical parole consideration
for elderly inmates is severely limited mobility due
to paralysis or other conditions that often result from
stroke or other trauma. Currently, there is a policy
under review that allows furlough for catastrophic
medical issues or the existence of other medical conditions that are not necessarily fatal in nature but cannot
be adequately treated within prison facilities. All these
considerations are influenced by the inmates likely
threat to society.
Facilities: Various facilities that can accommodate elderly inmates are available. Most major
facilities have provisions that address the needs of
inmates over the age of 50, with special training for
medical and security staff for interaction with and
understanding the needs of an aging inmate population.
Staff is made cognizant, for instance, of the potential
for victimization. Also, the safety of elderly inmates
is better secured by facilities that separate inmates
from the rest of the prison population, thus allowing
a more homogeneous approach for staff working

population among the elderly in prisons.
Facilities: As mentioned, most state prisons have
segregated housing units, which are designed to better
accommodate elderly inmates, making facility staff
and the environment more congruous for the group.
Adjustments in services range from modification of
lunch lines for physically disabled inmates to more
readily available medical services. Also, various locations throughout the state have hospice or palliative
care facilities in prison infirmaries for inmates who
have terminal illnesses but are unable to be released
into the community.

The Department of Corrections
considers inmates 50 years of age and older to be
elderly. The elderly inmate population in North Carolina has increased faster than any other inmate age group
in the state over the past five years. In July of 2005, the
director of prisons initiated a study, the Aging Inmate
Population Study, on the aging inmates in the state.
In May of 2006, the Department of Corrections Division of Prisons issued their findings from this study.
The report is a descriptive commentary that provides
information regarding the status of the aging inmate
population. It primarily explores the characteristics
of this population, as well as the challenges facing
the Department of Corrections in providing sufficient
services for elderly inmates.
Facilities: Although there are no prisons in
North Carolina designated exclusively for the elderly
inmate population, many prisons have geriatric, skilled
medical and mental health units. Three prisons in
the state with units designed specifically for elderly
inmates are McCain Correction Hospital in Raeford;
Randolph Correctional Center in Asheboro; and Pender
Correctional Institution in Burgaw. McCain has both
acute care and skilled nursing care beds, and offers

*Statistics are based on a four-year period and represent fiscal year 2002.
Policies: While not explicitly stated in the
policies of the Department of Corrections, elderly
inmates generally are considered those at or above the
age of 55. All inmates ages 50 to 64 have physical
examinations every one to three years, depending on
their overall health, and all inmates ages 65 and older
typically have annual physical examinations. There
are medical parole programs for elderly inmates and,
in order for inmates to qualify for these programs, a
recommendation must be made by a facility physician.
Acceptance of parole is based on the inmates diagnosis, disciplinary record, amount of time remaining
to serve, employment history, a verifiable offer of
residence, acquiescence of the inmate, and the severity
of his or her crime. There are a variety of crimes that
exclude prisoners from medical parole consideration.
Offenders who are not eligible for medical parole
are those who have not served at least 85 percent
of a sentence for truth-in-sentencing crimes, those
who have been sentenced to life without parole, and
prisoners who have been sentenced to death. There
are specific qualifications for offenders who have
committed the most severe crimes such as assault with
a deadly weapon. Such inmates must be terminally ill
with a life expectancy of one year or less, and whose
medical condition has rendered them no longer a threat
to society. A secure nursing home must be available
in order for these inmates to be released. Likewise,
qualifications for lesser crimes mirror the severity of
the crime (i.e., there are less stringent qualifications
for criminals who have committed less serious, and
less dangerous, crimes). Recommendations must be
approved by the chief medical officer, director of the
Department of Corrections, Pardon and Parole Board,
and the governors office.
Facilities: In August, 2005, the Department of
Corrections initiated the Health Assessment for Inmate
Transfers, a program that provides guidelines for evaluating an inmates general physical and mental health for
appropriate programs and facility placement. Inmates
are routed based on medical acuity, mental health classi-

*Offense is based on inmates offense that incarcerates the offender for the longest period of time.
**Statistics are based on repeat offenses within a three-year period.
Policies: According to the Department of Criminal Justice, an elderly inmate is classified as one over
the age of 55. The Department of Criminal Justice has a
policy that screens incoming elderly inmates for physical and mental disabilities, and places such prisoners
in appropriate facilities. There is a screening for elderly
inmates being transferred from one facility to another
in order to ensure that the receiving facility can accommodate these prisoners. Elderly inmates work duties
may be adjusted based on age as well. The Department of Criminal Justices Rehabilitation and Re-entry
Division recently began working to develop specific
programs for elderly inmates who will be returning to
society. Elderly inmates are eligible for early parole
under the Medically Recommended Intensive Supervision (MRIS) program if the offender is diagnosed with
a terminal disease; requires long-term care for a degenerative disease; is severely physically handicapped
and cannot be sufficiently accommodated by prison
facilities; is diagnosed with a severe mental illness; or
is mentally retarded. Such inmates are supervised by a
Special Needs Offender Program of the Parole Division
upon release. Since 1997, several changes have been
made to the MRIS program. For instance, the program
now excludes all sex offenders and offenders sentenced
to death. The provision to include the terminally ill
and those who require long-term care was enacted in
2003. Also in 2003, a requirement that offenders be
placed in a skilled nursing facility upon release was
repealed, allowing for expanded placement options
in the community for prisoners. The Department of
Criminal Justice mandates the availability of special
recreational services for some geriatric prisoners, such
as outdoor walking, horseshoes, arts and crafts, and
various table games.
Facilities: The Department of Criminal Justice
provides two types of geriatric housing facilities for
inmates. Type I Geriatric Facilities, which are located
in eight different state prisons, provide accommodations for offenders who are 60 years of age or older and

The Department of Corrections
considers inmates 50 years of age and older to be
elderly. The Department requires a medical examination for all elderly prisoners upon admission into state
prisons. The nutritional needs of elderly inmates are
documented and forwarded to the appropriate staff
at the time of this examination. The Department of
Corrections offers a medical-release program for
elderly inmates, whereby prisoners are allowed to
petition the states Parole Board for furlough on the
grounds that he or she has been diagnosed with a
terminal or severely debilitating illness. Decisions
regarding release are based largely on the prisoners
age and the amount of the prisoners sentence that has
been served. Also, eligibility for release is based on the
severity of the crime for which the prisoner is incarcerated. In 2001, the Department of Corrections organized
a task force to study issues involving the needs of geriatric prisoners. Recommendations regarding housing,
medical care, and staffing for elderly inmates have been
made by the task force to the director of the Department
of Corrections regarding their findings.

*Offense is based on inmates offense that incarcerates the offender for the longest period of time.
Policies: The Division of Corrections considers
the age of an elderly inmate to be 65, the highest characterization among states. All elderly inmates have
annual or bi-annual physical examinations, depending
on the individual health level of the inmate and includes
annual dental and eye examinations. There also is close
monitoring of inmates with chronic conditions through
monthly checkups. Medical diets can be arranged at
most facilities and are coordinated according to the
health needs of elderly inmates. There are no specialrelease programs for elderly inmates at this time;
however, inmates can be moved from prison grounds
to off-site hospitals for observation or specialized care
if necessary.
Facilities: Although inmates are not segregated
by age, they are assigned to housing facilities based on
their health needs. This is to say that, if elderly inmates
have specific health concerns, they can be routed to a
facility that can accommodate these needs.
