Ans: In a case like this, my
good woman we must abide by
the decision of the authorities. The
doctors at the institution know
better than members of the in
mates family if the patient is well
enough to return home. Instead
of trying to get your daughter an
outright release, my suggestion is
to request permission for her to
visit at home with you for a few
DAYS. If she behaves normally on
these visits, 1t may lead to her
dismissal.
