    Default How to Get a Medical Release for an Inmate in Texas County Jail

    I am completely disgusted with the judicial system in Texas. I'm absolutely blown away at the corruption and total disregard of inmates in Texas county jails. I have a relative that is locked up at this moment awaiting his trial. He has not been convicted of anything. Since being confined he has been in the jail infirmary because of major health issues. His lawyer has supposedly requested the judge grant a special medical release. We were told it was refused. The medical staff at the jail has made it known that they are not capable of giving this man the treatment or testing that is much needed. The medical staff has also said this man needs to be released so he can get proper medical treatment. This man is willing to take house arrest, he just wants to be allowed to get the medical help that he needs to hopefully sustain his life and so he can be with his family if the outcome is death. How can a judge blatantly ignore even the
    jail medical staff when it comes to this man's health? I would like to know if the DA has any say in the judge's decision on these kinds of matters.

    If these issues have been raised with the sentencing court and the requested relief was denied, the next step would normally be to appeal. I suggest working with a lawyer.
