Will prisons accept cancer patients?

Prisons do not accept cancer patients, but there are exceptions. Whether cancer patients will be put in prison depends on the sentence before making a decision. If a criminal is sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment or criminal detention and needs to be released on parole for medical treatment in the terminal stage of cancer, he can apply for temporary execution outside prison, that is, he can not go to jail. But if a criminal is sentenced to life imprisonment, he can't apply for temporary execution outside prison, which means he needs to go to jail. In this case, the prison will accept cancer patients.

Interpretation of criminal law: Criminal law is a law that stipulates crime, criminal responsibility and punishment. It is a law to master the ruling order of political power and safeguard class political rule and economic interests. According to its class will, it is stipulated which acts are crimes, what criminal responsibilities should be borne, and what criminal penalties should be given to criminals. Criminal law can be divided into broad criminal law and narrow criminal law. The broad criminal law is the general name of all criminal legal norms, and the narrow criminal law only refers to the criminal code. Cancer patients who commit crimes will also be punished accordingly, which does not mean that they can be exempted from jail. It is recommended not to commit a crime because of serious illness.
