Deal over prisoner care tossed over Arizona s noncompliance

By JACQUES BILLEAUDJuly 17, 2021 GMT PHOENIX (AP) A judge threw out a 6-year-old legal settlement requiring Arizona to improve health care for thousands of prisoners, saying corrections officials have shown little interest in complying with their obligations under the deal and that it would be absurd to expect the state to act differently in the future. In a withering ruling Friday, Judge Roslyn Silver opted against imposing additional contempt-of-court fines against the state for its longstanding noncompliance and instead said she will take the case to trial. The judge said the state’s failure to provide adequate medical care for prisoners has led to suffering and preventable deaths.

Federal Judge Rescinds Arizona Prison Health Care Settlement, Orders New Trial

Citing pervasive material breaches of Arizona s prison health care class action settlement, U.S. District Court Judge Roslyn Silver rescinded the settlement and ordered the Department of Corrections and prisoner attorneys to prepare for a trial in an order issued on Friday. The Parsons v. Ryan settlement was certified more than 6 years ago in 2015. The state agreed to a set of performance benchmarks that were created to raise the standard of health care in the 10 state-run prisons. On Friday, Judge Silver issued an order setting that agreement aside, saying the Department of Corrections and its private health care contractors had repeatedly failed to meet the settlement conditions.
