A:

1.An inmate who is suspected of having tuberculosis before he or she is admitted to prison can apply to the prosecutor for delaying the start of serving a sentence by  submitting relevant documentation. However the correctional facility will still admit the inmate if the prosecutor rejects the application. 

2.Upon arrival at the prison, an inmate suspected of having tuberculosis should show  relevant certificate of diagnosis and TB treatment manual. The facility will arrange doctor’s appointment for the inmate, and follow doctor’s instruction to arrange  quarantine or treatment.

3.If an inmate is confirmed to have tuberculosis, the facility may, in view of the inmate’s health condition, report the case to the Agency of Corrections, and after obtaining the Agency’s approval, transfer the inmate to Taichung Prison Pei-De Hospital (male inmates) or Taipei Prison Taoyuan Branch (female inmates) to receive medical treatment.
