A:

If an inmate knows before release that he or she will not have enough money to pay for the fare to go home, the inmate can ask for an “After-Care Application Form” from the correctional  facility and fill it out before release. After  review and approval, the inmate shall fill out a “Receipt” and Taiwan After-Care Association will fund inmate’s trip back home. In case an  inmate is disabled and deemed unable to go home on his or her own following evaluation, the  correctional facility should contact his or her relatives to come pick up the inmate. If an inmate  is unable to take care of him or herself and has no home to return to, the correctional facility should contact the After-Care Association or the social affairs agency to assist in placement  matters.
