"Not extraordinary circumstances"
was the determination of the warden not to let this inmate stay with his sick daughter. 10 year old Jayci Yaeger passed away this past Friday. She has terminal cancer. Her father, Jason Yaeger, is serving 5 years on drug charges. The minimum security prison, in a press release, said: The Bureau of Prisons routinely utilizes furloughs and escorted trips in response to family emergencies, whichever is deemed most appropriate based on a review of security and safety concerns for both the inmate involved and the community. Bureau of Prisons officials have reviewed inmate Yaeger's request for a compassionate release and have determined his situation does not meet the criteria set forth by the Bureau of Prisons Program ... Inmate Yaeger's request for extended placement in a Residential Re-entry Center is currently in litigation; therefore, we are unable to comment further on this request. Instead of slowing or shutting down for high fuel prices, perhaps owner operators should have protested this warden's decision.
