Yes, the judge can jail him. Is it likely for a first offense at age 18? Probably not unless the offense is very serious. A better question is whether a prison will take him. Most people do not know that detention centers can refuse ill prisoners. The judge might find him/herself in a quandary with the prison system. I represent a jail and we do not take prisoners who are very ill if it can be avoided. If we take a sick prisoner, we pay all the medical expenses. The judge could order a state facility to take him, but there's likely going to be a legal battle over that order.Will a judge jail someone if they are ill?
If the judge thinks your state's jail system is capable of taking care of some one in his condition, which he probably does, then they definately will send him on his way to jail.
A guy with scoliosis? that is something new to me. Not saying it doesn't happen, just every case I ever heard of was a girl.





No matter though.





In any case, there are hospitals in prisons, and medical care available.





His health will not be a get out of jail free card in and of itself.
they have most medical services in a jail. So he would most liely go. If he is very ill for a minor offense they might order house arrest.
