DES MOINES The Senate Judiciary Committee backed a bill allowing medical parole for terminally ill or chronically infirm prisoners to serve in nursing homes or health facilities. Rep. Lance Horbach proposed a variant to send such inmates to privately run nursing facilities, potentially in the Iowa City area. He warned of public relations concerns and hesitations from families about nursing homes housing former prisoners.
