flag Arizona appeals federal receivership of its prison health care, citing improvements and potential disruptions.

flag 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. flag 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. flag 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. flag The appeal claims the state has made progress and warns of financial and operational disruption. flag The case will now move to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
