develop and implement a policy mandating the performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation 

(CPR) by correctional officers, regardless of their duty statement.

2. On January 4, 2006, this Court entered an order providing for additional briefing

on compliance with the June 9, 2005 order, with defendants to submit declarations from wardens

system-wide concerning compliance efforts by January 31, 2006. Further, this Court scheduled a

hearing on the matter for February 15, 2006 at 1:30 p.m. 

3. Upon reviewing the submitted declarations of the wardens, the parties agree to

request the court monitors, during the seventeenth round of monitoring, to: 

 a. Review the inventories of cut-down kits in every institution with the staff who

prepared them to confirm that cut-down kits, with the appropriate equipment, are available in all

housing units and/or, where appropriate, check for the presence of complete cut-down kits in

individual housing units; 

 b. Review institutional procedures for ensuring that all staff returning to duty after an

absence or newly hired staff have received training in CPR pursuant to the amended CPR policy

and the use of the CPR shield; and,

 c. Review 837 incident reports on emergency responses involving inmates on the

mental health caseload where CPR was either initiated or not initiated when its use seemed

appropriate. 

 4. The parties agree that by March 1, 2006, Defendants will provide the Special

Master with a list of persons in institutions who conducted the inventories in each facility,

including those heretofore unidentified responsible persons in Avenal State Prison, California

Correctional Center, Correctional Training Facility, Calipatria State Prison, California Men’s

Colony, California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison, San Quentin State

Prison, North Kern State Prison, and Kern Valley State Prison.
