Stockton Officials Near Prison Health Facility Decision
Stockton officials will have to decide by April 7 whether to accept the terms of the state's $700 million plan to build an 1,734-bed inmate medical facility near the city. Stockton Mayor Ann Johnston said she has not received written guarantees on some demands, including that the project will use local labor; however, prison health care receiver J. Clark Kelso said the deal is a "fair offer."
