COMPLAINT

V.
GARY W. DeLAND, Director, Utah Department of Corrections; GERALD COOK, Director of Institutional Operations Division, Utah Department of Corrections; ELDON BARNES, JR., Warden, Utah State Prison; DANIEL LATHAM, Bureau Chief of Support Services, Utah State Prison; BRUCE EGAN, Acting Director of Medical Facilities, Utah State Prison; BLEN FREESTONE, Acting Assistant Director of Medical Facilities, Utah State Prison

Civil No.

Defendants.

Plaintiff alleges: I. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
1. This civil rights action is brought by Plaintiff on her own behalf and on behalf of all inmates who are confined and who may be confined in the future at the Utah State Penitentiary at Draper, Utah [the "Prison"]. Because of their incarceration at the Prison, Plaintiff and the class she represents [referred to sometimes as the "Inmates"] are dependent upon Defendants to provide them with medical and mental health care. This action seeks 1) a declaration by this Court that conditions at the Prison are unconstitutional under the Eighth and Eleventh Amendments to the United States Constitution because inadequate medical and mental health care is provided to the Inmates, and 2) injunctive relief ordering Defendants to take immediate and continuing steps to remedy the constitutional inadequacies .in medical and mental health care provided at the Prison, or cease incarcerating Inmates at the Prison.
II. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 2. This action is brought under 42 U.S.C. S 1983 and under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. Jurisdiction of this Court is invoked under 28 U.S.C. S 1343.
-2-

3. Venue is proper under 28 U.S.C. S 1391. Each Defendant resides in the State of Utah and each claim for relief arises in this District.
Ill. PARTIES A. Plaintiff 4. Plaintiff Sandra Henry is presently an Inmate at the Prison and is deprived of adequate medical and mental health care in the manner described in this Complaint. Throughout her incarceration at the Prison she has been denied constitutionallyadequate care for her serious medical needs. B. Class Action Allegations 5. This is a class action under Rule 23 (b)(l)(A) and (b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Plaintiff is a representative party of the class which is composed of all persons presently confined at the Prison or who may be so confined in the future. 6. The class is so numerous that joinder of all members is impractical. Approximately 2,400 Inmates are presently incarcerated at the Prison. 7. Questions of law and fact presented by Plaintiff's claims are common to the class in that all Inmates are deprived of adequate medical and mental health care in the manner described in this Complaint.
-3-

8. Plaintiff's claims are typical of the claims of all class members.
9. Plaintiff is represented by competent counsel who will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the class.
10. The prosecution of separate actions against defendants would create a risk of inconsistent or varying adjudications with respect to individual members of the class which would establish incompatible standards of conduct for Defendants.
11. Defendants have acted and refused to act on grounds generally applicable to the class, thereby making appropriate final injunctive and declaratory relief with respect to the class as a whole.
12. Although many of the members of the class have claims for damages against Defendants and others, these individual damage claims are not appropriate to bring in this action. Damage claims would inject individual questions of law and fact into this litigation, common questions would not predominate, individual class members would lose their ability to control the prosecution of their claims, and this action would become unreasonably difficult to manage.
-4-

C. Defendants 13. Defendant Gary W. DeLand is the Director of the Department of Corrections of the State of Utah. He is responsible for the management, supervision and control of the penal, correctional, and reformatory institutions operated by the State. Defendant DeLand has the power to authorize expenditures within the Prison and to determine how the budget for the Prison and its medical facilities will be spent. Defendant DeLand is responsible for determining facility needs and directs the planning, design, and construction of new facilities. He gives final approval for recruiting, selection, and hiring decisions. Defendant DeLand ultimately determines the level of medical care provided at the Prison. He is aware of the constitutional inadequacies in the medical and mental health care at the Prison but refuses to correct those inadequacies. Defendant DeLand is ultimately responsible for the continuing incarceration of the Inmates under conditions that are unconstitutional under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Const i tut ion. 14. Defendant Gerald Cook is the Director of Institutional Operations Division. He is responsible for carrying out the mission, goals, policies, and procedures of the Department of Corrections. Defendant Cook supervises the Bureau Chief for
-5-

Support Services and the Warden of the Prison. He is responsible for all operations within the Prison, including the operations of the Medical Department. He is aware of the Constitutional inadequacies in the medical and mental health care provided to the inmates but refuses to correct those inadequacies.
15. Defendant Eldon Barnes, Jr. is the Warden of the Prison. He directly supervises the Prison, including its medical facilities. Defendant Barnes is responsible for the overall safety of the Inmates at the Prison. Defendant Barnes is directly responsible for the continuing incarceration of the Inmates under conditions that are unconstitutional. He is aware of the constitutional inadequacies in the medical and mental health care provided to the Inmates but continues to incarcerate the Inmates at the Prison under those conditions.
16. Defendant Daniel Latham is the Bureau Chief of Support Services within the Prison. He assists in budget planning for the Prison. Defendant Latham initiates and oversees the filling of vacancies within support services, including the medical staff. He directly supervises the Medical Director and is responsible for the level of care provided by the medical department. He is aware of the Constitutional inadequacies in the medical and mental health care provided to the inmates but refuses to correct those inadequacies.
-6-

17. Defendant Bruce Egan is the Acting Director of Medical Facilities at the Prison, and Defendant Blen Freestone is the Acting Assistant Director of Medical Facilities. Defendants Egan and Freestone supervise the Prison's medical staff and facilities. They are directly responsible for the level of medical and mental health care provided at the Prison and are directly responsible for the inadequate staffing, the lack of resources and facilities, and the defective protocols and procedures that are described in this complaint.
IV. GENERAL ALLEGATIONS 18. Defendants fail to provide minimally adequate medical and mental health care to the Inmates incarcerated at the Prison. 19. Conditions at the Prison fail to meet any of the following minimum standards for the provision of medical-and mental health care in correctional facilities: (1) Federal Standards for Corrections (1978), drafted by the United States Department of Justice ["Federal Standards"], (2) Standards for Health Services in Correctional Institutions (N. Dubler 2d ed. 1986), published by the American Public Health Association ["APHA Standards"], and (3) Manual of Correctional Standards (1966), prepared by the American Correctional Association ["ACA Standards" ].
-7-

20. Defendants are aware of the deficiencies in the medical and mental health care they provide.
21. On August 31, 1979, the State of Utah entered into a stipulation and settlement agreement with certain Inmates in Civil Action Nos. C-75-220, C-75-377, C-75-410, C-75-411, C-76-191, C-76-253, entitled Balderas v. Matheson. In settlement of that action, Defendants agreed that the Federal Standards and the ACA Standards were appropriate to determine the legality and effectiveness of Defendants' operation of the Prison. Notwithstanding that recognition and agreement, Defendants have failed to follow these standards in delivering medical and mental health services to Inmates.
22. The Department of Corrections hired Bonnie Norman, RN, MPH, a Correctional Health Care Consultant, to examine prison medical conditions. On August 31, 1988, Ms. Norman issued a report listing 49 major recommendations to improve health care at the Prison. Today, medical and mental health care at the Prison remains essentially unchanged.
23. As evidenced by the conditions described in this complaint, Defendants, who are responsible for medical conditions at the Prison, are deliberately indifferent to serious medical and mental health needs of the Inmates. That deliberate indifference constitutes unnecessary and wanton infliction of pain

without any penological purpose, in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.
Inadequate Medical Staffing and Facilities 24. Defendants have failed to create an adequate number of medical staff positions for qualified medical personnel and Defendants have failed to fill existing positions. These shortages in medical staff make it impossible for the Prison to meet the serious medical and mental health needs of Inmates. For example:
a. To treat the entire Prison population of approximately 2,400 Inmates, Defendants employ two part-time physicians who in total work approximately 15-20 hours per week at the Prison. These physicians are augmented by only one nurse practitioner and one physicians' assistant. This level of phvsician staffing is grossly inadequate to meet the serious medical needs of the Inmates.
b. As a result of inadequate physician staffing, Inmates receive much of their direct medical treatment from non-physicians. State statutes and regulatory rules require that any medical treatment rendered by non-physicians shall be consistent with standard operating procedures, protocols for specific
-9-

conditions, and standing and direct orders. Defendants fail to comply with state law and do not follow these Federal Standards.
c. Defendants employ only five nurses at the Prison who are expected to provide around-the-clock coverage seven days a week. These nurses are asked to conduct sick calls two times daily, provide treatment, administer xams, conduct doctor lines, handle emergencies, and arrange for transfers and special services. Due to shift rotations, this level of nurse staffing allows for a maximum of two nurses on duty for the entire Prison at any one time, and more typically only one nurse is on duty. Sometimes on weekends no nurse is on duty. It is impossible for one or two nurses on duty at any given time to meet the serious medical needs of the Inmates.
d. Defendants have filled the remaining positions with one student physicians' assistant, and thirteen unlicensed medical technicians. These unlicensed staff people routinely make decisions and attempt to render medical care which is far beyond
their limited abilities.
-10-

e. The Prison's shortage of authorized positions for qualified medical personnel is compounded by ' staff recruiting problems. Because of poor Prison working conditions, poor levels of pay, and overwork, the Prison does not have enough qualified medical personnel. Available staff positions go unfilled, further reducing the quality of care Inmates receive.
25. In response to the shortage of medical staff and trained specialists at the Prison, Defendants sometimes send Inmates to the University of Utah Medical Center ["UUMC"] for care and treatment the Prison cannot provide. However, access to UUMC services is severely restricted. Furthermore, the Inmates are often denied the care and treatment which UUMC physicians recommend or prescribe, in deliberate indifference to the serious medical needs of the Inmates.
26. The Prison has inadequate staffing to provide for transportation of Inmates to UUMC. Inmates regularly miss scheduled appointments because the Prison is unable to transport them. When transportation is provided it is often untimely, resulting in more missed appointments. Ill Inmates are often not provided with jackets during transportation in winter months, leaving Inmates with the difficult
-11-

choice of forgoing medical treatment or risking the adverse health effects of a lengthy ride with inadequate means to stay warm.
27. As a result of the medical staff shortage, Inmates receive delayed attention to their serious medical needs and in*some cases the Inmates' serious medical needs are completely ignored. For example:
a. Inmate ST suffered a gunshot wound just before coming to Prison three years ago. A 22-caliber bullet went into his right ear, traveled through his head and settled in his left cheek. Pus has been draining from ST's right ear for the three years he has been in the Prison. The other Inmates can smell the drainage. ST's right eye won't close when he sleeps and he is gradually losing his sight in the right eye. A note in his medical chart dated June 24, 1988 indicates that some type of surgery should be considered.. Yet, ST was not sent to the UUMC for possible surgery until November 30, 1989.
b. Inmate JE fractured his thumb while playing basketball. The fracture required open surgery to align the bones and to hold the bones in place with a temporary pin. After removing the pin, doctors at the
-12-

University of Utah Medical Center discovered a tendon had become affixed to the bone. The doctors indicated that surgery could "lift" the tendon from the bone. On October 4, 1989, a Prison physician refused JE the surgery since the situation was not life threatening, and the surgery was deemed "elective". JE is now unable to bend his thumb.
Sick Call and Medical Emergencies 28. Inmates at the Prison are given no guaranteed access to medical professionals. All Inmates must first be screened at a sick call and are referred for medical treatment only if the staff person conducting sick call thinks it appropriate. 29. Defendants fail to provide prompt attention to medical emergencies and fail to provide adequate emergency medical services. The Prison does not provide safe and timely emergency services twenty-four hours a day on a par with accepted contemporary national standards and as required by APHA Standards. The condition of sick and injured Inmates is allowed to deteriorate until medical problems become emergencies, and emergencies become life-threatening. For example:
-13-

a. Inmate AM injured his face during Prison work and his nose hemorrhaged severely. Prison personnel applied pressure on the nose for four hours as the sole method of treatment. Three days later, AM's nose again started to bleed profusely. Once again he was given only first-aid treatment for about four hours. This treatment did not stop the hemorrhage and AM required four days of hospitalization at the University of Utah Medical Center. Not only does such neglect inflict unnecessary pain on the Inmates, it necessitates further care that would have been unnecessary if the condition were promptly treated.
b. Inmate HA developed severe abdominal pains and vomiting caused by gallstones on June 17, 1989. HA was not seen by a doctor until June 23, 1989. He was not tested for gallstones until June 28, 1989, and did not have gallbladder surgery until July 18, 1989, despite continuing severe pain and vomiting for a period of approximately one month.
c. Inmate BR suffered abdominal pain and swelling from a peptic ulcer for about eighteen months. He consulted the Prison medical department on June 21, 1988, complaining of right upper quadrant pain, and was
-14-

prescribed Sudafed (a cold medicine). BR was told that his condition was most likely chronic hepatitis. BR, like all Inmates, was allowed to see a physician only when a non-physician so recommended. Nevertheless, he continued to complain to the Prison medical department, and was finally sent to the University of Utah Medical Center for evaluation. Riopan (an ulcer medication) was prescribed for the first time on May 8, 1989, over one year from the first onset of symptoms.
d. Inmate TE has a heart condition. Another Inmate witnessed TE suffering an apparent heart attack. The unlicensed medical technician who responded did not start oxygen or an IV, was not prepared to do CPR, and left TE for upwards of thirty minutes during the emergency. Additionally, TE was allowed to walk to the stretcher and was carried down several flights of stairs without being strapped to the stretcher. This handling of the emergency represents a gross deviation from standards of care typically practiced by emergency medical technicians.
-15-

Failure to Treat Chronic Medical Conditions 30. Defendants fail to provide adequate medical
care for chronic conditions. Chronic conditions are left untreated until they become emergencies or until an Inmate's health has deteriorated beyond recovery. This failure constitutes a deliberate indifference to the serious medical needs of Inmates. For example:
a. Inmate UL complained that he was losing vision in his right eye over a period of several months. UL was told that he needed to sign up on a list to see the eye doctor and that an appointment would take several months. UL had cataracts of both eyes and needed surgery on both eyes.
b. Inmate CA is a diabetic. The Prison refused to give CA a special diet necessary for his diabetes despite recommendations by the prison dietician. The Prison has not adjusted CA's insulin dose and does not give him his insulin on time so that his diabetes remains in poor control. In three years at the Prison, CA recalls having his blood sugar tested only three or four times. The Prison refuses to give him adequate urine and blood testing equipment necessary for him to monitor his diabetic condition. The
-16-

Prison has not evaluated his diabetic status in approximately fifteen months. The Prison does not provide diabetics with sugar for emergency use, and instead requires Inmates to buy their own emergency supply (if they have the funds). Guards are not permitted to administer sugar to diabetics in insulin shock even though diabetics cannot administer sugar to themselves during this emergency and personnel with medical training may not be close at hand. CA has tried to get moved closer to the medical facility, but the Prison refuses to issue a medical override allowing him to do so.
c. Plaintiff Sandra Henry, an HIV-positive Inmate, had a T4 lymphocyte count of 396 on September 24, 1989. On June 7, 1989, her T4 lymphocyte count was 150. Federal Standards established by the Health and Human Services and guidelines promulgated by the Center for Disease Control mandate that Henry receive AZT in order to retard the disease and to prevent complications. Henry repeatedly requested AZT for her HIV-positive condition. Her requests were denied. Henry attempted to use the grievance procedure to obtain this necessary treatment. Her attempts were
-17-

unsuccessful. Henry was recently seen by a physician at UUMC who was shocked to learn that she had been unable to obtain AZT treatment. He has taken it upon himself to personally intervene on her behalf. Through his efforts she has been receiving AZT since early December.
d. OL is an Inmate with AIDS. His T4 cell lymphocyte count was 278 as of September 21, 1989. He is receiving no treatment for his AIDS condition although he has requested that treatment, and although current guidelines call for AZT to retard the disease and to prevent complications. OL has tried to get dental care, but the dentist refused to render dental care since that care might result in bleeding, even though the dentist was wearing four sets of gloves and a full plastic or rubber apron. Such hysteria is unwarranted under the circumstances and deviates grossly from community standards for the treatment of dental patients with AIDS. Additionally, OL suffers from rectal warts. The Prison has treated these warts only with "acid" applied to the rectal area and has denied OL proper • medical treatment for his wart condition.
-18-

Failure to Control Infectious Diseases 31. Defendants do not perform,tests to detect communicable diseases and do not immunize or vaccinate new Inmates upon their arrival at the Prison. Defendants have failed to develop a comprehensive infectious disease plan to prevent and control the spread of infectious diseases within the Prison population. 32. The Federal Standards require that each new Inmate receive laboratory and diagnostic tests to detect communicable diseases including venereal diseases and tuberculosis within ten working days of their arrival at the Prison. The ACA Standards require that all new arrivals receive needed immunizations and vaccinations. The Norman Report recommended instituting an infectious disease plan. 33. Defendants' failure to identify and treat infectious diseases among Inmates according to a comprehensive infectious disease plan not only jeopardizes the health of Inmates with infectious diseases, but exposes the remainder of the Prison population to the spread of infectious diseases. This failure constitutes a deliberate indifference to the serious health needs of all Inmates.
-19-

Inadequate Dental Care 34. Defendants employ only two part-time dentists for the entire Prison population. Inmates receive no dental screening or routine dental hygiene upon admission to the Prison and Inmates must wait an average of eight to ten weeks.to receive non-emergency dental care. The Federal Standards require that dental screening be provided within fourteen days of admission, dental hygiene services be provided within thirty days of admission, and dental examinations be provided within three months of admission to the Prison. The APHA Standards require that Inmates be examined at least annually. 35. The Inmates' serious dental needs receive delayed attention and are sometimes ignored. As an example, Inmate HA began suffering from an impacted wisdom tooth in January 1989. HA, other inmates, his supervisor, and Prison guards all sought to get him a dental appointment. The pain and swelling became so severe that HA could not eat, close his mouth, or sleep at night. In March, HA finally attempted to alleviate the swelling himself with an X-Acto knife. Finally, on April 7, HA was seen by a dentist. The tooth was extracted on August 9, more than half a year after the onset of the condition.
-20-

Inadequate Pharmacy Services 36. Physicians at the University of Utah Medical Center frequently prescribe medications for Inmates placed under their care. In many cases, Inmates are not given those medications at the Prison. Inmates are told that the Prison does not have that particular drug or that the drug will be placed on order, even when the Prison pharmacy has the same drug under a different brand name. UUMC physicians are not notified by the Prison pharmacy when a drug UUMC physicians prescribe is not available and, thus, they cannot prescribe a substitute drug. The Norman Report documented numerous other deficiencies in the operation of the pharmacy and in the administration of Pharmaceuticals. Defendants have not corrected these deficiencies. 37. Pharmacy services are so inadequate that they constitute deliberate indifference to the serious medical and mental health needs of Inmates. For example:
a. Inmate BI is an epileptic who requires specific medication to control his seizures. The Prison told him that his prescribed medication was not allowed and the Prison placed him on a different drug. Although monthly blood checks are required to determine whether the anti-seizure drug is present at an
-21-

effective level in the bloodstream, the Prison gave Bl no such tests in the Prison. BI suffered a seizure and injured his head. The Prison disciplined him for not taking his medication and ordered him to pay restitution for his medical expenses. Later test results showed "that BI was taking the substitute drug at its proper dosage at the time of the seizure and that the substitute drug was not adequate to control his seizures. Not only did BI receive inadequate prescription drug treatment for his epileptic condition, but he was disciplined by Prison authorities for a medical condition beyond his control.
b. Inmate TI has severe asthma. He complains that his medication level has systematically been reduced to the point that he suffers severe asthmatic attacks. Lack of necessary medication has caused several life-threatening asthma attacks requiring emergency helicopter transports to the University of Utah Medical Center.
c. Inmate UL had cataract surgery on both eyes. His physician at the University of Utah Medical Center prescribed antibiotic and steroid eye drops which were "very important" to his recovery. In order
-22-

to be certain that UL did not go without his prescribed medication, the UUMC physician sent him back to the Prison with a small sample of the eye drops, and a prescription for those eye drops. UL repeatedly requested the prescription for eye drops be filled. He soon ran out of his sample supply and was denied an additional supply by the Prison. As a direct result of UL's inability to obtain needed medication, he has been referred back to the UUMC Opthamology Clinic to determine if further surgery is necessary.
Inadequate Medical Grievance Procedures 38. Defendants force Inmates to use the lengthy and cumbersome prison grievance procedure to address unmet medical and mental health needs, even when these unmet needs are serious and potentially life-threatening. Most grievances are reviewed only by the Prison medical staff themselves or by non-medical personnel. The Prison takes up to 14 days to review grievances at level 1 (informal), up to 21 days each at levels 2 (formal) and 3 (Inspector General), and up to 10 days at level i (Administrative Law Judge). Assuming the Inmate appeals instantly at each level, the full appeal process could be as much as 70 days, even when the grievance concerns an Inmate's need for immediate
-23-

medical or mental health care. Lack of an adequate medical grievance procedure constitutes a deliberate indifference to the Inmates' serious medical needs.
Lack of Initial Medical Screening 39. Although current Prison policy supposedly requires a complete health appraisal within thirty days after an Inmate is admitted to the general Prison population, Defendants have allowed the Prison staff to fall approximately one year behind in performing these health appraisals. Federal Standards require that an initial health screening be done before an Inmate is placed in the general prison population and that a complete health appraisal be performed within ten working days. The Norman Report recommends a receiving (intake) screening. The failure to perform an intake screening exam and initial health appraisal constitutes a deliberate indifference to the serious medical needs of the Inmates. For example: Inmate CA indicated that he was diabetic on a health history form he filled out when he entered the Prison. He was not seen by a physician for this condition and no provision was made to ascertain his insulin needs or provide him with insulin. As a result, CA
-24-

suffered a life threatening episode of diabetic coma and required emergency transport to UUMC.
Inadequate Mental Health Staffing and Facilities 40. Defendants have failed to create an adequate
number of positions for qualified mental health personnel and have failed to fill the positions that are available. Between twenty-five percent and thirty percent of the entire Prison population is estimated to have some form of mental illness; however, only one psychiatrist works part-time to supervise the mental health treatment of all Inmates. Inmates receive most mental health counseling (when available at all) from social workers rather than psychologists or psychiatrists. These social workers have other obligations that conflict with their role as therapists. As a result, patient/therapist confidentiality is breached. Moreover, the nature of these conflicting roles prevents social workers from providing individual therapy. Defendants' failure to hire an adequate number of qualified mental health personnel constitutes a deliberate indifference to the serious mental health needs of Inmates.
41. Defendants fail to provide adequate facilities to house Inmates needing mental health care. This constitutes deliberate indifference to the serious mental
-25-

health needs of Inmates. The Federal Standards require that a separate facility for all inmates with severe emotional disturbances be provided for treatment. Defendants provide only: (1) a 6-bed infirmary to serve the needs of the acutely mentally ill, (2) a 125-bed special services dormitory and (3) the Forensics Unit at the Utah State Hospital. Only twenty beds are allocated for individuals with mental illness at the Special Services Dormitory. As a result, Inmates with severe emotional disturbances are housed in the general population.
42. The Federal Standards require that all inmates have non-emergency access to mental health services, that inmates must be seen by a mental health professional no later than forty-eight hours after a request, and that a psychiatrist must see the inmates he is treating at least every two weeks when they have become stable on their medicat ions.
43. The following examples illustrate the gross deficiencies in the mental health care Defendants provide at the Prison:
a. Inmate SO suffers from paranoid schizophrenia. He experiences hallucinations and has exhibited bizarre behavior. He has attempted suicide. SO
-26-

is currently receiving dosages of psychotropic medications consisting of Haldol, Thorazine, and Tegretol. He has not seen a psychiatrist in the four months since he was moved from the Special Services Dormitory to the general population. During these last four months, he has received no therapy for his schizophrenia.
b. Inmate LO suffers from major depression and pedophilia. He was transferred in September from the Utah State Hospital to the Prison. While at the hospital, LO received individual therapy, group therapy, and psychotropic medications. His condition improved significantly during the two years spent at the hospital. In the past three months at the Prison, however, LO's condition has deteriorated. LO has become severely depressed. He isolates himself andwithdraws from all contact with people at the Prison. He requested to see a psychiatrist in order to have, his medications reviewed because the medications are causing side-effects, but has not seen a psychiatrist. He requested mental health services through the ReVamp program offered at the Special Services Dormitory immediately upon entering the Prison, yet has never received a response. In his three months at the
-27-

Prison, LO has received no counseling services to assist him with his depression and pedophilia.
c. Inmate MO suffers from drug and alcohol abuse and schizophrenia. He resides currently at the Special Services Dormitory. Although he does see a psychiatrist occasionally, these visits only last on the average four to five minutes. MO is never able to complete his conversations with the psychiatrist during these short intervals.
d. Inmate DO suffers from dysphoria and dysthymia. He currently resides at the Special Services Dormitory. He receives group therapy only twice each month. This therapy is inadequate, often consisting only of playing basketball, pasting pictures, and talking about "getting along better with other people."
Mental Health Emergencies/Suicide Prevention 44. Because Defendants fail to provide adequate
counseling, the mental health of Inmates is allowed to deteriorate. Crisis intervention is the primary method of mental health care. The APHA Standards call for direct treatment including suicide prevention for all Inmates with mental health problems. The Norman Report documented many deficiencies in the Prison's mental health care program.
-28-

Despite the Federal Standards, the APHA Standards and the Norman Report recommendations, Defendants- have not improved mental health services they provide in crisis situations. This constitutes deliberate indifference to the serious mental health needs of Inmates.
45. Examples of the gross inadequacies include: a. Inmate SO suffers from paranoid schizo-
phrenia. During the time he resided at the Special Services Dormitory, he became so despondent that he attempted suicide by drinking a caustic liquid mixed with Coke. His only treatment was "group therapy" twice each month which often consisted only of playing basketball and pasting pictures.
b. Inmate HO was transferred from the State Hospital to the Prison in June 1,989. Since then he has attempted suicide four times, by hanging himself, by slashing his wrists twice, and by attempted electrocution. He has spent the last six months at the Prison Infirmary (not the Special Services Dormitory) and has received no counseling.
Inadequate Chronic Mental Health Care 46. Inmates with chronic mental health problems receive no treatment unless they reside in the Special
-29-

Services Dormitory or are sent to the Forensics Unit at the Utah State Hospital. Federal Standards require evaluation, treatment, a treatment plan written by a doctor, training of all Prison personnel in recognizing symptoms of mental illness, nonemergency access to mental health services, and close supervision of mentally ill or retarded Inmates. Failure to provide adequate evaluation, treatment and supervision constitutes a deliberate indifference to the serious mental health needs of chronically mentally ill or retarded Inmates. Examples of these deficiencies include:
a. Inmate LO resides in the general population. He suffers from depression and pedophilia and receives no therapy.
b. Inmate SO resides in the general population. He suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and receives no therapy.
c. Inmate GA resides in the general population. He has been diagnosed as suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, manic depression, and multiple personality disorder. He currently receives no therapy.
Inadequate Mental Health•Screening 47. Defendants refuse to conduct voluntary psychological tests on new inmates and perform only a mental
-30-

health history. Mental illness and mental health problems are not adequately identified and evaluated when an inmate enters the Prison. The Federal Standards require a psychiatric evaluation to be done by qualified prison personnel upon all inmates when they are admitted to a prison. The Norman report concurs that such evaluations must be done. Defendants' failure to conduct these examinations constitutes deliberate indifference to the serious mental health needs of Inmates.
Mental Health Treatment As A Luxury 48. Defendants regard mental health treatment as a reward and a luxury. Defendants use denial of mental health care as a form of punishment. Inmates who are considered a management problem are not allowed to receive mental health treatment. If Inmates violate the rules of the Special Services Dormitory, they are placed back into the general population. Yet by the very nature of their illnesses, they may not be able to follow rules. For example: Inmate SO suffers from schizophrenia. He was removed from the Special Services Dormitory into the general population for exhibiting aggression and a poor attitude. He now receives no treatment. This failure to provide mental health treatment for all individuals
-31-

with mental illness constitutes a deliberate indifference to serious mental health needs.
Brutality Towards Mentally 111 Inmates 49. Prison guards physically mistreat and brutalize Inmates who are suicidal or mentally ill, twisting their arms, "tazoring" their bodies with electric prods, and placing them in "strip cells" without clothes, blankets or other source of warmth. Defendants are aware of these barbarous practices but refuse to correct them.
CLAIM FOR RELIEF 42 U.S.C. S 1983
50. Paragraphs 1 through 49 are incorporated herein by reference.
51. Defendants, who are acting under color of state law, have deliberately denied and have shown deliberate indifference to Plaintiff's and other Inmates' serious medical and mental health needs. Defendants' conduct constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. In its worst cases, it constitutes physical torture. In all cases it constitutes the wanton infliction of unnecessary pain without penological purpose. Defendants' conduct violates the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Const itution.
-32-

VI. PRAYER Plaintiff prays for the following relief: 1.

Civil No. 89-C-1124 J
STIPULATION OP SETTLEMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH CLAIMS

T'

Subject to its approval, the Court may enter an Order embodying the following provisions:
WHEREAS, this action was commenced on December 18, 1989, by Plaintiff on her own behalf and on behalf of all inmates who are confined, and who may be confined at the Utah State Penitentiary at Draper, Utah [USP, hereafter], and who are seeking injunctive and declaratory relief regarding claimed constitutional inadequacies in medical and mental health care; and
WHEREAS, Defendants filed their answer on February 21, 1990; and
WHEREAS, class certification was granted by this Court on April 24, 1990; and
WHEREAS, the parties agree that the Court has jurisdiction over this action and the parties and that the Court has the authority to order the relief set forth in this Stipulation; and
WHEREAS, the parties have exchanged relevant documents and have engaged in substantial discovery; and
WHEREAS, the parties, without conceding any infirmity in their claims or defenses, have agreed that the terms of this Stipulation are appropriate; and
-2-

WHEREAS, this Stipulation deals only with the mental health care aspects of the complaint; and
WHEREAS, nothing in this Stipulation shall be construed as evidence of an admission by Defendants of any violation of any law, regulation, rule or order; and
WHEREAS, nothing in this Stipulation shall be construed as evidence of an admission by Defendants that Defendants maintained a policy or practice that was intended to result or, in fact, resulted in the deprivation of any rights, privileges or immunities of any member of the Plaintiff class;
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED:
MENTALLY ILL 1. The Plaintiffs and Defendants estimate that some fifteen
(15) percent of the inmate population of USP suffer from mental illness as defined in Para. 4. This epidemiological statement is derived from a consensus of the existing literature on point and estimates by staff and experts.
-3-

MISSION STATEMENT 2. The USP hereby adopts the following mission statement
with regard to its legal obligation to provide adequate mental health services to the population as estimated above:
a. To reduce the disabling effects of mental illness in order to maximize each inmate's voluntary participation in such treatment programs as exist within the prison;
b. To reduce the unnecessary extremes of human pain and suffering caused by mental illness; and
c. To help keep the prison safer for staff, inmates, volunteers, visitors and the surrounding communities. GENERAL APPROACH TO MISSION OF MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
3. USP officials agree that adequate numbers of mental health professionals, as agreed in this Stipulation, and other appropriate staff must be employed so that:
a. all inmates entering the USP system are adequately screened for signs of mental illness;
b. when such signs or symptoms are observed, a more thorough evaluation shall be performed by a mental health professional, as defined below;
-4-

c. where so indicated, an individual treatment plan will be developed for the inmate with complete and regular charting to take place thereafter; and
d. that a variety of services and levels of care shall be available thereafter to such inmate.
Mental health professional is defined as a person who is qualified by training and experience to provide diagnostic, rehabilitative, or therapeutic services to persons with mental illness. Generally, this will require at least a Masters or Doctoral degree in a mental health profession; such as psychiatry, psychology, social work or psychiatric nursing. MENTAL ILLNESS DEFINED
4. In order to more precisely identify inmates suffering from a mental illness, the following definition is adopted by the USP:
Mental illness means a psychiatric disorder which substantially impairs an inmate's mental, emotional, behavioral, or related functioning. Mental illness does not mean a personality or character disorder or abnormality manifested only by repeated criminal conduct. TREATMENT MODALITIES 5. Recognizing that there are a variety of professionally acceptable modalities for treating all mental illnesses, the USP shall incorporate the professional judgment of the USP's mental
-5-

O 1. O5. 94 11:3 9 A M

FO 2

health professionals in the continuance of existing programs and in the creation of nev programs and physical facilities. A multidisciplinary approach is hereby adopted so that persons trained in the various mental health professions, as defined in Para. 3, work together to maximize the appropriate treatment for the seriously mentally ill inmate.
It is imperative that security, medical and mental" health staff be available to inmates on a twenty-four (24) hour basis and have opportunity for input to the treatment team at all stages of the treatment process. Such input will include not only security issues but specific behavioral observations which are necessary to help prescribe and assess the effects of treatment. RECEPTION AND ORIgHTATlQfl
6. Screening. Within twenty-four (24) hours of arrival, each inmate will be screened for mental illness, psychiatric crisis, withdrawal from alcohol or drugs, or suicide risk. The screening process will have the following elements: a. Training} Adequately trained staff, either correction, medical, or mental health, will complete the screening.

b. Standardization: A standard protocol will be utilized to avoid an idiosyncratic process where the identification of mental illness depends upon which screener is on duty.
c. Low threshold: The screening must have a low threshold for referral to follow-up evaluation. That is, any indication of either history or current evidence of mental illness or psychiatric crisis must result in referral for further evaluation.
d. Results: The results of the screening must be clearly and legibly documented and available to those responsible for medical and psychiatric care, housing assignments, liaison to outside agencies and similar decisions. Appropriate care will be taken to protect the confidentiality of such information.
7. Follow-up Evaluations. When an inmate is identified through the screening process or by referral as likely to need further evaluation or treatment, such inmate will be seen as soon as necessary but in all cases within seventy-two (72) hours by a mental health professional, as defined in Para. 3. The evaluation need not include a full battery of psychological tests, but must be adequate to answer the questions posed. When an inmate is identified at this stage as requiring mental health services, then the appropriate service shall be made
-7-

available as promptly as the condition or diagnosis dictates based on the judgment of the appropriate mental health professionals.
8. Mental Health Services Orientation. As a basic part of the inmate's initial reception and orientation to the USP, each inmate shall receive written material, prepared in simple language, which explains what mental health services are available at any unit or site within the USP. Such written material will be supplemented by a verbal session conducted by a trained staff member at which time the written material is further explained and questions answered. Every reasonable effort will be devoted to resolving problems associated with language barriers to assure that every inmate understands the written and oral material. The objective here is to be certain that every inmate is notified of what mental health services exist and how to gain access to such services. TRAINING 9. Staff will receive special pre-service, followed by regular in-service, training in the following: a. Recognition of signs and symptoms of mental illness in the inmate population;
-8-

b. Recognition of signs and symptoms of chemical dependence and withdrawal therefrom;
c. Recognition of signs and symptoms of adverse reactions to psychotropic medication;
d. Recognition of signs and symptoms of mental health emergencies and specific instructions on contacting the appropriate professional care provider and taking other appropriate action;
e. Suicide potential and prevention; f. Instructions on procedures for mental health referrals; g. Safe and appropriate use of restraint and seclusion; and h. Identification and use of least restrictive and intrusive means of problem resolution. All such training shall be made a matter of record and such records shall indicate the individual's attendance and the course content. REFERRAL SYSTEM 10. Referral is the process by which an inmate, having been initially identified or self-identified as possibly in need of mental health services, is provided with the opportunity for appropriate mental health evaluation or, in a crisis, the most
-9-

expeditious means for gaining access to appropriate mental health services.
On entry into the USP system, inmates who may require mental health services will be identified and provided access to services, in accordance with Paras. 6, 7, and 8.
Inmates who thereafter may seek or require mental health services may be self-referred or may be referred to evaluative or mental health services by any staff member. This referral shall be made to the inmate's social service worker. The inmate's social service worker shall complete a mental health referral form and forward the form to the relevant services administrator.
Inmates shall be evaluated and services provided as efficiently as the particular condition, including the need for crisis responses, calls for in the judgment of appropriate USP mental health professional staff. NEEDS ASSESSMENT
11. USP staff shall employ procedures to identify inmates currently in the USP who may not have had the full benefit of the enhanced screening, evaluation, and access to the appropriate mental health services and provide them with access to such services as are appropriate for their current mental health needs.
-10-

The USP staff shall employ procedures to identify inmates who may be seriously mentally ill and in need of appropriate services; USP staff also shall disseminate to those identified inmates, by way of written and oral notice, the details of the mental health programs created herein and explain how to gain access to such programs. MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN GENERAL
12. The treatment needs of seriously mentally ill inmates will vary with their diagnosis, behavior, and prognosis; and will vary with the individual inmate over time.
To meet these varied diagnostic and treatment needs, the USP will provide adequate mental health services designed for:
a. Follow-up evaluations, according to Para. 7; b. Crisis intervention; c. Inpatient services -
(i) Acute beds, (ii) Intermediate/Longer-term residential care beds; and d. Clinical services for general population inmates. Each of these services, along with required staffing, will be further described in the succeeding paragraphs.
-11-

PROFESSIONAL STAFFING 13. Separation of Functions. Mental health professionals who participate in administra-
tive decision-making processes related to inmates, such as, but not limited to, classification, parole and furlough, will be other than those mental health professionals directly involved in the treatment or counseling of inmates as a part of an inmate's treatment program.
14. Staffing. a. Defendants agree to staff the USP mental health services, as outlined in Para's. 17 through 20 of this Stipulation, with the following full time equivalents: 1 - Unit Chief (any Master's degree or mental health professional as defined in Para. 3 ) . 3 - Medical Doctors [M.D.] (with extensive training and/or experience in psychiatric diagnosis and treatment, and at least two who will be Psychiatrists). 5 - Ph.D. level Psychologists (at least two who will be Licensed Psychologists). 4 - Social Workers [MSW]. 1 - Psychiatric Nurse Supervisor [MSN].
-12-

6 - Registered Nurses [RN], 2 day, 2 night, 2 evening (includes relief).
2 - Clerical staff (at least one with medical records training).
The staffing described above does not include substance abuse counseling, sex offender services, nor the normal prison counseling/case management function.
b. Evening, Night and Weekend Coverage. Evening and weekend coverage will be provided on-call on a rotating basis by a psychiatrist or physician familiar with the use of psychotropic medication and psychological and/or social work staff. Night coverage will be provided via telephone on an on-call basis and on-site consultation when necessary by all mental health professional staff. 15. Staffing Levels. The mental health resources agreed to herein, and especially the staffing of mental health programs and the provision of the variety of mental health services, is based on a USP population of three thousand (3,000) inmates. The Defendants hereby agree that significant increases or decreases in said population shall either require a commensurate
-13-

increase, or allow a commensurate decrease, in the agreed upon mental health program staff and the requisite mental health services.
Should the average monthly resident inmate population increase by twenty (20) percent then the Defendants agree to notify Plaintiffs' counsel, who shall also then be notified of the details of a plan designed to meet the expected increased demand for mental health services.
Any proposed decrease in staffing or services may be instituted in the same fashion and subject to the same process as increases.
Any dispute concerning the implementation of this paragraph shall be resolved in accordance with Para. 40.
16. Licensure. Except as permitted under Utah Code Ann. S 58-25A-10, unlicensed staff may not be utilized to provide mental health services. Procedures to assure the timeliness of license renewal shall be adopted and promulgated. CRISIS INTERVENTION 17. Inmates shall have prompt access to crisis services. Crisis services may be initiated by any institutional staff
-14-

member and may include the following treatment modalities as deemed clinically appropriate by USP mental health professionals:
a. Psychotropic medications; b. Special management precautions — these precautions, based on professional judgment, may involve one to one measures, special housing options, constant observations, or other appropriate observation procedures; c. Verbal counseling, which may range from psychotherapy approaches to simply providing information or support; d. USP mental health professionals will assist other institutional staff concerning the handling of inmates who experience crisis; and e. Resolution of any crisis will include some attention to prevention of a reoccurrence. ACUTE BEDS 18. The USP agrees to provide twenty-eight (28) acute beds, which will include the following features: a. Trained staff to deal with inmates who may be acutely suicidal, dangerous to others, or otherwise experiencing a severe mental health crisis;
-15-

b. A physically safe environment with adequate visibility into individual cells where several suicidal patients can be observed by one (1) staff member; and
c. Structured out-of-cell daily activity except where documented as clinically or custodially contraindicated. INTERMEDIATE/LONGER-TERM RESIDENTIAL BEDS;-7
19. For inmates who are unable to function in the general population due to serious mental illness, the USP will provide fifty (50) intermediate/longer term residential beds.
a. The intermediate/longer term residential setting will serve 3 different populations:
i. "Halfway in" - inmates for whom transfer to this less stressful therapeutic setting will prevent an inpatient hospitalization;
ii. "Halfway out" — inmates returning from inpatient hospitalizations who require a "decompression chamber" prior" to returning to the general population; and

1/ Note: The staffing for this unit is essentially included in the staffing list outlined in Para. 14. Of those staff, the following will be specifically assigned to the intermediate/longer term residential unit:

* ***

1 - Ph.D. psychologist who directs the unit; 1 - social worker; 1 - psychiatric nurse; and

1 - case manager/social service worker, separately budgeted.
-16-

iii. Inmates who are never able to adapt to the general population and who will likely remain in this setting for the duration of their prison sentence.

b. The intermediate/longer term residential setting will

have the following features:

i. An environment in which inmates are protected from general population predatory inmates;

ii. Ongoing therapeutic programming, to include psychoeducational, behavioral and psychiatric rehabilitative components;

iii. Orientation, within the limits of the inmates' comprehension, about their mental illness and the medications they are being prescribed; and

mode1.

iv. Group meetings along a "therapeutic community"

CLINICAL SERVICES FOR GENERAL POPULATION INMATES

20. Mental health services for inmates in the general popu-

lation will include options of psychotropic medication, various

types of individual and group psychotherapy, and case management

(i.e., support, advocacy, information, advice). Maintenance of

inmates in the setting appropriate for their security status

shall be considered a very important aspect of this entire mental

health program.

HIGH SECURITY INMATES

21. Inmates in high-security areas may require services

from mental health staff in order to achieve early identification

-17-

of acute exacerbations of mental illness or psychiatric crisis. The USP will provide at least two (2) hours per work day of on-site mental health professional staff, as defined in Para. 3, in such units.
While treatment needs may require the temporary movement of such inmates into mental health treatment settings, the classification of all inmates remains the responsibility of the classification officer, who is not a mental health professional, as is presently done. PSYCHIATRIC MEDICATION; PRESCRIPTION AND MONITORING
22. In all instances, psychotropic medication must be prescribed only by a psychiatrist or physician familiar with the use of psychotropic medication in accordance with generally accepted pharmacological principles and contemporary national standards. Psychotropic medication shall be dispensed only when clinically indicated.
Any patient placed on psychotropic medication must have appropriate medical monitoring where indicated and evaluation of efficacy in all cases. Every inmate receiving psychotropic medication will be seen and evaluated by the treating physician at least once a week until stabilized and thereafter at least every two weeks or at a community acceptable level of monitoring.
-18-

Female inmates shall be cautioned of the potential risks of taking psychotropic medication while pregnant.
The medical and psychiatric records of all inmates receiving psychotropic medication shall be reviewed by USP mental health staff in order to assure documentation of professionally acceptable follow-up procedures and especially the frequency of medical monitoring and blood tests for Lithium, and for other medications requiring medical monitoring and blood testing, and to address other psychiatrically sound concerns. TRACKING SYSTEM
23. The USP shall create and maintain an efficient record-keeping system for the seriously mentally ill, using the technology it deems appropriate, so that any mental health professional is able to maintain continuity of care by having timely access to any such records as are required.
An interdisciplinary team of USP mental health professionals shall undertake a systematic and periodic quality assurance review of the records of seriously mentally ill inmates receiving mental health services. Such review is designed to assure that all inmates receive continuity of care consistent with the exercise of professional judgment. Appropriate care will be taken to protect the confidentiality of such information.
-19-

INPATIENT BEDS 24. Even with a system of mental health care within the
prison, such as described herein, it is possible that at any given time there will be a small number of inmates whose illness is so severe as to require, transfer to an inpatient psychiatric setting outside of the USP. Such transfers will be made on an as needed basis in the opinion of USP mental health professionals.
USP also agrees to develop procedures for transferring an inmate to an inpatient psychiatric unit outside of the USP when it is advised by its mental health professionals that the transfer is needed. POLICIES AND PROCEDURES; COMMITMENT TO ADOPT
25. The Defendants believe that the adoption and regular review of Policies and Procedures relating to prison administration, including mental health services, is an administratively sound practice. It is agreed, however, that Policies and Procedures per se are not constitutionally mandated and that this agreement to adopt some such measures does not constitute a basis for subsequent review by the Court except for failure to adopt such Policies and Procedures as are agreed upon herein:
Where Policies and Procedures on point currently do not exist or are in the process of revision, the Defendants hereby
-20-

undertake to adopt, or complete the revision, of adequate Policies and Procedures encompassing the following areas:
a. Use of psychotropic medication, including issues of consent and forced medication;
b. Criteria and procedures to be used when a seriously mentally ill inmate is to be hospitalized, in accordance with Para. 19;
c. Use of restraints and seclusion; d. Confidentiality in the clinician/patient relationship and in the maintenance of mental health services treatment records; e. The maintenance of professionally sound psychiatric and psychological records; f. Discharge planning for inmates receiving, or having received, mental health services; g. The adoption of a quality assurance program; h. Transfer of seriously mentally ill inmates between housing units; i. Education and training of correctional and mental health services staff; and j. The articulation of the relationship between mental
health services staff and medical services staff.
-21-

Written suggestions for the content of any of the above areas for Policy and Procedure coverage may be provided by the Plaintiffs' lead counsel to the attorney for the Defendants and such suggestions will be duly studied and considered for inclusion. TWO YEAR COMPLIANCE

28. The Impartial Expert and Plaintiffs' designee, shall be permitted to conduct a total of three (3) on-site visits to the USP during the first two (2) years following the Court's approval of this Stipulation.

In addition, the Impartial Expert and Plaintiffs' designee shall be permitted a final on-site visit at the end of the third year following the court's approval of this Stipulation.
29. On-site visits will be up to two (2) days in duration. All expenses and costs associated with the work of the Impartial Expert shall be paid by Defendants. All parties shall cooperate to ensure that the Impartial Expert may complete the on-site visits within the two (2) day period allotted for such visits.

-23-

b. If the completion of the on-site visit is delayed due to natural events, events relating to the operation of the prison, or conduct of defendants or their personnel, any of which would have a material effect on the Impartial Expert's ability to conduct the on-site visit, the length of the on-site visit shall be extended accordingly, at Defendant's additional expense.
c. Otherwise, if Plaintiffs believe the two (2) day on-site visit is not satisfactory, it shall be the financial obligation of the Plaintiffs shall be responsible for any additional expenses and costs of the Impartial Expert, not to exceed one (1) additional day.
30. The Defendants may select a designee to accompany the Impartial Expert and Plaintiffs' designee during the on-site visit. Neither Plaintiffs' designee nor Defendants' designee need be the same person for each on-site visit.

33. The Court shall retain jurisdiction over this action for a period of three (3) years for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this Stipulation. In the event of any motion for relief based upon Defendants' alleged non-compliance, Defendants shall be considered to be in compliance with the provisions of this Stipulation unless Plaintiffs make a showing by a preponderance of the evidence that Defendants' failures or omissions to
-25-

meet the terms of this Stipulation are not minimal or isolated, but are substantial and widespread.
34. Should the Plaintiffs establish that the Defendants are not in compliance, as set forth above, the Court may:
a. alter the frequency or extend the period of Defendants' "Progress Reports" and the on-site visits by the Impartial Expert for the sites or functions found to be out of compliance;
b. extend the compliance period, but only for the sites or functions found to be out of compliance and by no more than one (1) year increments; and

a. If the completion of the on-site visit is delayed due to natural events, events relating to the operation of the prison, or conduct of defendants or their personnel, any of which would have a material effect on the Impartial Expert's ability to conduct the on-site visit, the length of the on-site visit shall be extended accordingly, at Defendant's additional expense.
b. Otherwise, if Plaintiffs believe the two (2) day on-site visit is not satisfactory, Plaintiffs shall be responsible for any additional expenses and costs of the Impartial Expert, not to exceed one (1) additional day.
-27-

37. The Impartial Expert's on-site visit will be conducted according to Para. 30.
38. The Impartial Expert will prepare a written report within forty-five (45) days of the on-site visit either affirming or rejecting Defendants' assertion of full compliance, and will send a copy to Plaintiffs' and Defendants' counsel.
39. In the event the Impartial Expert finds the Defendants have achieved early full compliance, the Impartial Expert and Plaintiffs' designee shall make one (1) final on-site visit at the end of one (1) year following the Impartial Expert's finding of early full compliance. The Impartial Expert's final on-site visit will be conducted according to Paras. 30 and 36. The Impartial Expert will prepare and send a written report according to Para. 38.
40. If, after the final on-site visit, the Impartial Expert finds the Defendants are still in full compliance, Defendants' counsel may submit the Impartial Expert's determination to the Court and request an early dismissal of the action.
41. If the Impartial Expert finds, during either of the on-site visits, the Defendants have not achieved early full compliance, the provisions regarding two year compliance and
-28-

continuing jurisdiction (i.e., Paras. 26 through 34) will be fully reinstated. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
42. In the event a dispute arises as to whether Defendants have failed to comply with the terms of this Stipulation, counsel for the parties shall proceed as follows:
a. Counsel for the parties shall make a good faith effort to resolve any difference which may arise between them over matters of compliance. Prior to the institution of any proceeding before the Court to enforce the provisions of this Stipulation, Plaintiffs' counsel shall notify Defendants' counsel in writing of any claim that Defendants are in violation of any provision of this Stipulation.
b. Within ten (10) business days of the receipt of this notice, counsel for Plaintiffs and Defendants shall meet in an attempt to arrive at an amicable resolution of the claim.

This matter came before the Honorable Bruce S. Jenkins on May 7, 1993, at 9:30 a.m., for the final hearing regarding the parties' request for approval of their Stipulation of Settlement of Medical and Dental Claims, dated January 23, 1993 (the "Settlement"). Cullen Battle and Kathleen H. Switzer appeared for Plaintiff; Kirk M. Torgensen, Assistant Attorney General,
-1-

appeared for all Defendants. The Court heard testimony from Plaintiff's expert, Albert J. Raymond, M.D., in support of the Settlement. The Court also received into evidence exhibits submitted by Plaintiff supporting the Settlement. Based upon the arguments and evidence presented at the hearing, the Court enters this order approving and implementing the Settlement.
I. RECITALS 1. On December 18, 1989, Plaintiff Sandra Henry brought this action on her own behalf and on behalf of all inmates (the "Class Members") who were then confined or who might be confined in the future at the Utah State Prison at Draper, Utah (the "Prison"); 2. On December 21, 1989, this case was referred to the Magistrate pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B); 3. On February 21, 1990, Defendants answered Plaintiff's Complaint, denying liability and raising several legal and factual defenses; 4. On April 24, 1990, the Court certified this action as a class action under the provisions of Rule 23(b)(1)(A) and (b) (2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; 5. Plaintiff sought injunctive relief against officials at the Prison acting in their official capacities. Plaintiff alleged violations of the Eighth and the Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, based upon alleged systemwide inadequacy of medical and mental health care provided to Class Members during their incarceration at the Prison;
-2-

6. Defendants have consistently, and presently, deny that constitutional deficiencies existed, or exist, in the medical and mental health care provided to the class from the time this suit was filed to the present;
7. On January 23, 1993, Plaintiff and Defendants executed the Settlement, which proposed to settle all remaining claims of the Plaintiff and the Class Members regarding medical and dental health care at the Prison;
8. At a preliminary hearing on February 11, 1993, the Court approved a Plan for Notice to Class Members of the proposed Settlement;
9. An individual copy of the notice was delivered to every inmate at the Prison on March 5, 1993. All new and reincarcerated inmates at the Prison received a copy of the notice with their regular orientation materials through April 1, 1993. In addition, all housing units (i.e. living areas) at the Prison contained an exact copy of the full text of the Settlement, which was made available to all inmates upon request;
10. On April 26, 1993, Plaintiff certified to the Court that twenty-six Class Members submitted written responses and objections to the proposed Settlement. Plaintiff provided certified copies of those responses and objections to the Court.
II. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS 1. During the final hearing, Defendants represented to the Court that they had timely complied with the Plan for
-3-

Notice. Based upon that representation the Court finds that Class Members received adequate notice of the Settlement under Rule 23(e) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
2. Pursuant to the Settlement, Defendants agree that the Prison has a legal obligation to provide adequate medical and dental services to Class Members.
3. The Settlement addresses substantive medical and dental treatment issues such as reception and orientation of new inmates to the prison health care system; training of all staff members; referring inmates to health care providers; providing various levels of health care to inmates; ensuring adequate staffing; providing in-patient beds; ensuring access to licensed health care professionals; providing medical services and a computerized tracking and monitoring system for inmates with medical problems; providing dental services and a computerized tracking and monitoring system for inmates with dental problems; providing support services; providing health education for inmates; maintaining medical records; developing and adopting policies and procedures to administer medical and dental services; and establishing a quality improvement committee to conduct quality assurance reviews. The Settlement also addresses compliance issues, such as the period for compliance, on-site visits to assess compliance, and periodic reports on Defendants' progress toward compliance.
4. The Settlement will bind the rights of all Class Members in seeking injunctive relief for medical and dental
-4-

claims. However, the Settlement will not affect the rights of any inmate to bring an individual lawsuit for monetary damages.
5. Based upon the above, and pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil procedure 23(a), the Court finds the Settlement is fair, reasonable, adequate and in the best interests of the Class Members.

III. ORDER

WHEREFORE, having thoroughly considered these matters,

the Court now approves the Settlement and ORDERS that it be

implemented in all respects. All terms of the Settlement are

incorporated into this Order. The Court shall retain

jurisdiction over this case for purposes of enforcing the

Settlement, as provided for in the Settlement. This Order is

binding upon Plaintiff, all Class Members, and all Defendants in

their official capacities and upon all persons subsequently

acting in those capacities. The effective date of the Settlement

shall be the date of this Order.

a. Training: Adequately trained staff will complete the screening. Any inmate refusing to provide information during the initial screening will be referred to a physician ["MD"], nurse practitioner ["NP"], or physician's assistant ["PA-c"] for a private interview.
b. Standardization: The staff will use a standard approach to screening, including a questionnaire and will enter data into the medical computer system. The standard questionnaire will include past medical history, current medical history, medications, and any presenting medical or dental symptoms.
c. Initial screening will include the following areas: i. Chronic Problems: During the initial
screening process, inmates with chronic health problems will be identified. The supervising health care provider will manage the medical care of inmates with chronic health problems.
ii. Communicable Diseases: All inmates will be screened for communicable diseases, including tuberculosis f'TB"] and human immunodeficiency virus I" "HIV"]. All inmates who test positive will be referred for further medical management and
s:\khs\796

such management will be consistent with current CDC or other public health guidelines.
iii. Medications: During the initial screening process, inmates taking or receiving prescription medications will be identified, and an MD, NP or PA-c will be consulted for immediate evaluation so that prescription medication can be continued without interruption, as indicated.
iv. Urgent or Emergent Problems: Appropriate medical and/or dental staff will be notified immediately of all medical and/or dental problems of an urgent or emergent nature. d. Tracking. The computerized tracking program will track all inmates identified as having health problems, including those with chronic medical problems, communicable diseases, and those reguiring prescription medications. 9.
