Governor Jerry Brown is proposing a $12.4 million increase to the California Health Care Facility's general fund in a revised budget, according to an article on the RecordNet website.
The facility was opened June in response to federal court findings that prisoners were not receiving a constitutional level of healthcare, but admissions of patient inmates were halted amid reports of unsanitary conditions and poor medical care, the article said.
The added funds would be used to hire custody staff, for plant operations and food services and to ensure the facility meets licensing standards.
More than 100 new positions would be created, including 77 correctional officers. The larger custody level would enable medical and clinical staff to focus on patient care, the article said.
