CDCR ask judge to end medical oversight in a month

California prison officials have asked a federal judge to end court oversight of medical services in one month.

In a 43-page plan to end federal oversight, Corrections attorneys argued that healthcare is “wholly transformed,” that inmates get good care, from good doctors, in good clinics and that California’s got the “will, capacity, and leadership” to keep it up. They’ve asked U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson to relinquish control in 30 days.

The opponents of this move say that there has been improvement, but recievership should still continue for the next year. More at KPCC.
