#355 Prison discharge during Yom Tov
Question
If someone has a release date from jail which will fall on Yom Tov, what does the person have to do when the government will not change the date? The only way to leave the institution is by bus. Does the frum Yid have a choice?
Sincerely,
Concerned Prisoner
Answer
Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit"a suggested that he should be released to the custody or care of the Jewish chaplain of the facility, after the chaplain explains to the relevant authorities the need for this special discharge.
