Answer:

The answer is medical parole

Step-by-step explanation:

Medical parole also known as medical release occurs when an inmate that is permanently incapacitated or terminally ill (either mentally or physically) gets released and handed over to a caretaker, facility or family members that can best take care of them.

This kind of release is subject to the confirmation that the inmate is no longer a threat to society due to being very physically and mentally incapacitated.
