编辑同志:2002年5月,我父亲因伤害罪被判处有期徒刑8年。前些日子,我和母亲去监狱探视,见他身体健康恶化,急需住院治疗。有人告诉我,像我父亲这样的情况,可以申请对他进行保外就医。可是我不知道对罪犯予以保外就医应当具备一些什么条件和应当由哪一个部门批准,特请求贵刊答复。朱力和 Editor's Comrade: In May 2002, my father was sentenced to 8 years in prison for assault. A few days ago, my mother and I went to jail for visits and saw his health deteriorated. He was in urgent need of hospitalization. Someone told me that in the case of my father, I can apply for medical treatment on his behalf. However, I do not know what conditions should be provided for prisoners to seek medical treatment abroad and which department should be approved. I particularly request your magazine to reply.
