STIPULATION AND 

ORDER RE: MODIFICATION OF 

DEFENDANTS’ SHORT-TERM 

PROJECT TO PILOT DOUBLE BUNK 

AT SALINAS VALLEY STATE PRISON 

 

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

to meet the short-term, intermediate-term, 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 a pilot project to double 

bunk inmate-patients requiring an Intermediate Care Facility level of care in one 10-cell wing in 

Treatment Center 1 of the Salinas Valley Psychiatric Program at Salinas Valley State Prison. (Id.

at 13.) This Court approved that project on June 18, 2009. (Docket No. 3613 ¶ 3.a.) 

By July 31, 2009, all work on the new 64-bed Intermediate Care Facility—Treatment 

Center 2—of the Salinas Valley Psychiatric Program at Salinas Valley State Prison, was

Stipulation and [Proposed] Order Re: Modification of Defendants’ Short-Term Project to Pilot Double Bunk 

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

complete. (Docket No. 3653.) Defendants now seek to modify their May 26, 2009 bed plan to 

pilot double bunk the inmate-patients in one 10-cell wing in Treatment Center 2, rather than in 

Treatment Center 1. Defendants have represented that double bunking in Treatment Center 2 

provides a better treatment option because it has more space available for treatment and 

programming, and Plaintiffs agree to this change based on that representation. 

The parties, by and through their counsel, stipulate that Defendants’ short-term, emergency 

project to pilot double bunk the inmate-patients in one 10-cell wing in Treatment Center 1 of the 

Salinas Valley Psychiatric Program at Salinas Valley State Prison, shall be modified so that the 

pilot double-bunk project will proceed forward in Treatment Center 2, rather than in Treatment 

Center 1.
