Stipulation and [Proposed] Order Re: Modif. 150 Level III/IV EOP SNY Bed Proj. at SATF 

(2:90-cv-00520 LKK JFM P) 

On March 31, 2009, this Court ordered that Defendants develop and file concrete 

proposals to meet the short-term, intermediate, and long-range beds needs of the Coleman class 

members. (Docket No. 3556.) Defendants submitted their bed plan on May 26, 2009. (Docket 

No. 3592.) As one of their short-term bed projects, Defendants proposed to convert a 270-design 

housing unit on Facility E at the Substance Abuse Treatment Facility (SATF) to housing for 150 

Level III/IV Enhanced Outpatient Program (EOP) Sensitive Needs Yard (SNY) inmates. (Id. at 

10.) On December 4, 2009, Defendants informed the Court that they cannot timely activate this 

short-term project. (Docket No. 3736.) 

The parties have met and conferred regarding Defendants’ 150 Level III/IV EOP SNY 

project, and it was agreed that Defendants replace this project with a project that will convert 

housing on Facility G at SATF to housing for up to 176 Level I/II EOP SNY inmates. Facility G, 

which consists of dormitory style housing, is divided into four housing pods with each pod 

containing 44 beds, for a total of 176 beds. Defendants expect to activate this 176-bed project in 

three phases, as follows: 1) Phase 1 - conversion of two 44-bed pods with an April 30, 2010 

expected full occupancy date; 2) Phase 2 - conversion of one 44-bed pod with an August 30, 2010 

expected full occupancy date; and 3) conversion of one 44-bed pod with a September 30, 2010 

expected full occupancy date. Converting the 44-bed pod during Phase 2 and the 44-bed pod 

during Phase 3 is dependent upon clinical staff availability and inmate population needs. Should 

inmate population needs not support enough Level I/II EOP SNY beds to fill up the two 44-bed 

pods that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) expects to convert 

during Phase 2 and/or Phase 3, CDCR will evaluate and, to the extent necessary and appropriate, 

house Level I/II EOP General Population (GP) inmates in one or both of those 44-bed pods. 

Therefore, the parties, by and through their counsel, stipulate that Defendants shall replace 

their short-term project for 150 Level III/IV EOP SNY beds at SATF with the above-described 

short-term project for 176 Level I/II EOP SNY beds at SATF. Further, the parties stipulate that 

should inmate population needs identified during Phase 2 and/or Phase 3 of the 176 Level I/II 

EOP SNY bed project not support enough Level I/II EOP SNY beds to fill up the two 44-bed 

pods that CDCR expects to convert during Phase 2 and/or Phase 3, CDCR may house Level I/II

Court if this conversion is necessary; Defendants will only need to inform the Special Master and 

Plaintiffs’ counsel.
