Abstract: 

On March 10, 2015, Federal District Court Judge Thelton Henderson modified a 2012 plan designed to transition from the ongoing, all-encompassing receivership to a monitoring-type arrangement with total control eventually ceded back to CDRC. This article examines the specifics of Judge Henderson’s order and cautions that California’s jails, now housing more inmates for longer terms, has little time to spare to get their health procedures in order before a legal onslaught likely to be as grave as that faced by California’s prisons.
