2. Introduction
• As the founder of Michael Kennedy McIntyre & Associates,
Michael Kennedy McIntyre represents clients in appeals, motions
to modify, and other forms of post-conviction relief. Michael
Kennedy McIntyre and the experienced team at Michael Kennedy
McIntyre & Associates are experts in Georgia post-conviction law,
including regulations involving medical reprieves. Incarcerated
individuals with terminal medical conditions can petition the
Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles for a temporary
suspension of their sentences, known as a medical reprieve.
Candidates for a medical reprieve are referred to the Parole Board
by the Department of Corrections’ Medical Reprieve Coordinator.
The Parole Board then considers the offender’s condition, cost of
treatment, conviction, and time served to determine if the
offender should be permitted to die outside of prison. If a
medical reprieve is granted, the offender would be supervised by
a community supervision officer. Since the medical reprieve
suspends the sentence, the offender must reenter prison should
his or her condition improve.
