Prison healthcare back in State control by 2014

J. Clark Kelso, the federally appointed overseer of California's prison healthcare system, has stated that the State is on track to resume full control over operations by 2014.

Though the process of returning control to the State has just begun, Kelso has claimed he is already reducing his staff in preparation for his withdrawal.

Prior to his full withdrawal, Kelso will need to negotiate with the State to determine standards for measuring inmate care and how helathcare administration will be structured.

As always, your ACSS is committed to working with the State to ensure that your rights are not violated as the receivership comes to an end.
