Arizona appeals federal receivership of its prison health care, citing improvements and potential disruptions.
Arizona has appealed a federal judge’s order placing its prison health care system under federal receivership, arguing recent improvements make the move unnecessary and costly.
The decision, made by Judge Roslyn Silver, follows years of failed reforms in a 2012 lawsuit over inadequate medical and mental health care that led to preventable deaths.
Despite a 2014 settlement, the state repeatedly missed court-ordered benchmarks, prompting the judge to appoint an outside receiver with broad authority over staffing and operations.
The appeal claims the state has made progress and warns of financial and operational disruption.
The case will now move to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
