Editorial Calls on California To Improve Prison Health Care
A New York Times editorial argues, "The only way for California to satisfy constitutional standards for its prisons is to reduce the number of inmates and improve the mental health care in those institutions without delay." It argues that a case over the mental health care provided to California inmates "is closely intertwined with the long-running litigation over unconstitutional overcrowding in California's prisons."
