A Prisoner Authorization Form is a legal document that allows a prisoner to grant permission to individuals outside the prison to have access to their confidential records, including medical and treatment records. This form is typically used in prisons to ensure that the prisoner's rights are upheld and that any and all information about them remains confidential. The form will specify the name of the person or organization that is requesting access to the records, the type of records they are requesting access to, and the purpose of the request. There are two main types of Prisoner Authorization Forms: the General Authorization Form and the Limited Authorization Form. The General Authorization Form grants unrestricted access to the prisoner's records. The Limited Authorization Form grants access to specific records only and requires the approval of a prison official.
