| Criminal Enforcement Act Section 45 | Inmates and detainees may be referred to specialised doctors outside the
prison. If inmates and detainees need to be hospitalised during their sentence, this will be done at the local hospital or by admission to the special wards at Vestre Hospital at Vestre Fængsel (hospital wing in a prison located in Copenhagen). If inmates are suffering from illness or have special needs, they may serve their sentence in a hospital or other suitable place, such as one of the Prison and Probation Service's pensions. |
