Alabama Code Title 14. Criminal Correctional and Detention Facilities § 14-14-3

(a) No physical or medical condition that existed at the time of sentencing shall provide the basis for medical furlough under this chapter, unless the inmate has become permanently incapacitated or terminally ill after the date of sentencing. In considering an inmate's eligibility for medical furlough, the department shall take into consideration the age of the inmate at the time the crime was committed.

(b) No inmate shall be considered for medical furlough unless the inmate consents in writing to the release after a written explanation of the inmate's medical needs and the availability of medical services, unless the inmate is not capable of consent as determined by a medical professional.

(c) No inmate shall be considered for medical furlough unless he or she would be Medicaid or Medicare eligible at the time of release or a member of the inmate's family agrees in writing to assume financial responsibility for the inmate, including, but not limited to, the medical needs of the inmate.
