- Judge won’t delay receiver’s takeover of Arizona’s unconstitional prison healthcare system
A federal judge refused to delay the appointment of a receiver to oversee Arizona's prison healthcare system, which has been deemed unconstitutional. The judge ruled that the receiver is necessary to prevent ongoing harm to prisoners, despite the state's arguments against the move. The state has appealed the decision, which is part of a 14-year-old lawsuit.
- Arizona says judge turned to ‘last resort’ fix for prison healthcare too soon
Arizona challenges a federal judge's decision to appoint a receiver for its prison healthcare system, arguing the judge bypassed intermediate remedies in a 14-year lawsuit alleging Eighth Amendment violations. The state claims the receiver appointment was premature, while plaintiffs and the court assert the system's failures justify the 'last resort' action.
