§ 15A-1369.3. Procedure for medical release. (a) The Commission shall consider an inmate for medical release upon referral by the Division. The Division may base its referral upon either a request or petition for release filed by the inmate, the inmate's attorney, or the inmate's next of kin or upon a recommendation from within the Division. (b) The referral shall include an assessment of the inmate's medical and psychosocial condition and the risk the inmate poses to society, as follows: (1) The Division medical director, or a designee of the director who is a licensed physician, shall review the case of each inmate who meets the eligibility requirements for medical release set forth in G.S. 15A-1369.2. Any physician who examines an inmate being considered for medical release shall prepare a written diagnosis that includes both of the following: a. A description of any and all terminal conditions, physical incapacities, and chronic conditions. b. A prognosis concerning the likelihood of recovery from any and all terminal conditions, physical incapacities, and chronic conditions. (2) The Division shall make an assessment of the risk for violence and recidivism that the inmate poses to society. In order to make this assessment, the Division may consider such factors as the inmate's medical condition, the severity of the offense for which the inmate is incarcerated, the inmate's prison record, and the release plan.
