A: MRIS is a program in the texas department of Corrections that allows for screening and movement into a more medically intensive environment for a prisoner. There is a process to get evaluated and then the Doctors and /or administrators decide what measures of care and/or even release, would be best for the inmate's health.

You need an experienced attorney to get through this process. Please be sure anyone you wish to work with has the full history of the inmate's crime, sentence, medical issues, and prognosis.

Good Luck!
