flag California’s prisons and hospitals face severe healthcare staffing shortages, with vacancies over 30%, despite high pay and bonuses, leading to unsafe conditions and burnout.

flag California’s prisons and state hospitals face persistent staffing shortages in healthcare and mental health roles, with vacancy rates exceeding 30% at key facilities despite millions spent on bonuses and wages, including $42,000 for psychiatrists. flag A state audit found no consistent staffing assessments or compliance tracking, contributing to unsafe conditions, burnout, and increased assaults. flag Though some workers earn over $500,000 with pensions, high turnover and competition from private hospitals with larger bonuses continue to strain recruitment. flag Auditors urged a statewide campaign, while state agencies cited pandemic impacts and self-reported compliance, denying widespread failures.
