Can an inmate get a funeral furlough, or to see their dying mother?

First, you have to understand that this is not something that is granted often or to just any inmate. The inmate must be in a low to minimum custody classification with limited time left on their sentence. They must have a completely clean disciplinary record while incarcerated... and even that might not be enough to get a furlough to go to the funeral. Our advice is to have the inmate speak to their counselor and then their chaplain. It's not an easy time for your inmate, might be the worst.
