San Joaquin County Says It Is Losing Mental Health Workers to Stockton Prison Facility
San Joaquin County officials say that one-fifth of psychiatric technicians at the Behavioral Health Services agency have left their jobs to work at the California Health Care Facility, a new prison health care provider in Stockton. County officials say they might have to scale back the department's crisis readiness hours if they cannot recruit new workers.
