     (2) This section does not apply to a person who aids or

     (a) The medically frail parolee requires a medical service

 

that must be performed at a different medical facility.

 

     (b) The medically frail parolee has a medical emergency that

 

requires medical service at a different medical facility.

 

     (c) There is a natural disaster, fire, or infrastructural
