vs.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, 

et al.,

 /

On February 14, 2007, the special master filed part A of his seventeenth

Good cause appearing, the special master’s recommendations will be made an order of the court.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Defendants shall implement forthwith paragraph 4 of this court’s order dated

March 7, 2005, which required defendants to collect data and report on referrals and transfers to 1

Department of Mental Health (DMH) programs. If the defendants are unable to do so, they shall

file within thirty days a report specifying the reasons for their inability to comply together with a

plan for coming into compliance with the March 7, 2005 order within the following sixty days.

If defendants have not come into compliance with the March 7, 2005 order within ninety days

from the date of this order, they will be ordered to show cause why they should not be held in

contempt of court. Defendants’ failure to comply with this order and paragraph 4 of the March 7,

2005 order will not be excused by lack of a computerized system capable of generating the data

needed for the required report; the necessary data and summaries may be collected and prepared

manually.

3. Within ninety days from the date of this order defendants shall develop a

mechanism for compiling accurate data on referrals and transfers to more intensive levels of

California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) mental health treatment,

including referrals and transfers to Mental Health Crisis Bed Units, Mental Health Outpatient

Hospital Units, Psychiatric Services Units, Enhanced Outpatient Program hub administrative

segregation hub units and Enhanced Outpatient Programs from Reception Centers. Each CDCR

institution shall record and track the dates of referrals and transfers to each of these programs. 

Each institution shall also prepare and submit monthly to the Division of Correctional Health

Care Services an institutional summary of all referrals and transfers, including those pending as

well as all referrals, rejections and transfers that occurred during the preceding month, within

twenty days of the end of each month.

3. Defendants shall work with the special master’s experts to review the

provision of Enhanced Outpatient Programs (EOPs) in administrative segregation units. The

review process shall conduct an audit of the EOP administrative segregation population and

examine more effective ways for reducing the lengths of stay of EOP inmates in administrative

segregation; alternative methods for the delivery of mental health treatment, including the use of

a different mix of clinical and paraclinical professionals; the use of different housing and/or

service models for particular categories of EOP administrative segregation inmates; and any

other strategy or approach likely to better serve the treatment needs of EOP administrative
