ANNOTATION: Policies at the state-level for emergency releases from correctional facilities are investigated. Emergency releases are short-term releases for inmates to visit a terminally ill family member or attend a family member’s funeral. “The results showed that most states do allow such releases; however, the policies consistently restricted the type of inmates who were eligible for such releases. In addition, the larger share of the policies placed the financial burden of releases on inmates and/or their families” (p. 83).
