In this special episode, Ashley takes a deeper look at medical furloughs in U.S. jails and prisons after the concept appeared in 60 Days In. Inspired by Chris’s temporary release during the series, this episode explores the complex policies behind medical furloughs. The episode covers a basic definition of medical furlough, a brief history of the use of furloughs in the United States, and an overview of the various ways obtaining a furlough is complicated (even if your state has them).
