AND I WILL MENTION WHAT THE
PANELS ARE IN A MOMENT. SO I'M
SENATOR NANCY SKINNER I'M CHAIR
OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON
PUBLIC SAFETY AND AS I OPENED
THIS IS A HEARING ON THE SPREAD
OF COVERT NINETEEN IN OUR STATE
PRISONS. SPREAD THAT IS
THREATENING THE HEALTH AND
WELFARE NOT ONLY OF INDIVIDUALS
WHO ARE INCARCERATED IN HELD IN
OUR PRISONS BUT ALSO THE STAFF.
AND STAFF AND ALL CALIFORNIANS.
A VIRUS KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES ITS
RAPID SPREAD HAS NOW AFFECTED
INFECTED. THE MINIMUM OF FIVE
THOUSAND COURSE ROOTED IN
VICTORY INDIVIDUALS WITH OVER
ELEVEN HUNDRED IN SAN QUENTIN
ALONE ALONG WITH HUNDREDS OF
STAFF STAFF WHO DO NOT LIVE IN
PRISON FACILITIES BUT GO HOME
EVERY DAY. ACTUALLY SPREADING
THE VIRUS TO FAMILY FRIENDS AND
OUR COMMUNITIES. AS OF TODAY.
THE REPORT THE DATA WE KNOW
FROM CCAR IS TWENTY TWO INMATES
HAVE DIED AS WELL AS TO MEMBERS
OF THE STAFF. WE KNOW THAT
CALIFORNIA IS CURRENTLY
EXPERIENCING RECORD NUMBERS OF
NEW CASES AND WE HAVE PULLED
BACK ONE PLANNED OPENING OF
BARS JAMS AND MORE. HOW MUCH OF
THE INCREASE IN CASES IS
RELATED TO THE UNCONTROLLED
SPREAD IN OUR PRISONS WHICH WE
KNOW IMPACTS OUR COMMUNITIES.
OVER THE COURSE OF THIS MONTH
LONG THIS IS THE GOVERNOR BUT
WE ASSN THE DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC HEALTH HAVE HELD REGULAR
NOON BRIEFING GUIDING ALL OF US
ON THE IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICAL
DISTANCING WEARING A SHORT
COVERING STAND WATCHING IN THE
NECESSITY TO DO WIDESPREAD
TESTING. WHAT WE HAVE TO ASK
OURSELVES NOW. IS WAS THE
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS
LISTENING. WAS CDC ARE
MAINTAINING OR MANDATING THE
SAME PUBLIC HEALTH PROTOCOLS
THAT THE STATE ASKED OF THE
REST OF US. OUR STATE PRISONS
ARE LARGEST CONGREGATE
SETTINGS. THE MAJOR OUTBREAKS
AND THE NUMBER OF DEATHS FROM
NURSING HOMES TOLD US LOUD AND
CLEAR. THEY CONGREGATE SETTINGS
ARE INCUBATORS FOR A WILDFIRE
LIKE SPREAD OF THIS FIRST. MY
STAFF AND I'VE BEEN MONITORING
THE OUTBREAK IN CDC OUR
FACILITY SINCE LATE MARCH EARLY
APRIL WE'VE BEEN IN WRITTEN AND
VERBAL CONTACT WITH CITIES HERE
ARE OFFICIALS THE
ADMINISTRATION. THE LABOR
REPRESENTATIVES OF CDC OUR
STAFF AND STATE PUBLIC HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS AND IN THE FIRST
EIGHT WEEKS OR SOME OF THE
OUTBREAK CITIES YOUR IN THE
ADMINISTRATION TOOK NUMEROUS
APPS TO LIMIT THE SPREAD. THE
DISTRIBUTED MASKS PROVIDED HAND
SANITIZER HAND WASHING STATIONS
STOPPED VISITATION AN INTAKE
COUNTY JAILS IN IN THOSE FIRST
FEW. IT APPEARED PRESENCE OF
THE VIRUS IN THE PRISONS WAS
ABOUT THE SAME AS IT WAS IN
COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA. BUT AT SOME POINT
THINGS WENT TERRIBLY WRONG
THERE WAS A GROWING OUTBREAK
INITIALLY AT CHINO. AND THEN AT
THE CALIFORNIA INSTITUTION OF
WOMEN CHUCKWALLA AVENUE.
FOLLOWED BY THE- TRANSFER OF
INMATES FROM CHINO TO SAN
QUENTIN AND AS WE KNOW THERE IS
NOW THE PRESENCE OF THE VIRUS
IN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR
STATE PRISON FACILITIES. THE
DECISION TO TRANSFER
INCARCERATED PEOPLE FROM A
PRISON WITH ONE OF THE WORST
OUTBREAKS CHINO TO SAN QUENTIN
WHICH AT THE POINT HAD NO KNOWN
CASES. RAISES SIGNIFICANT
QUESTIONS ABOUT CDC ARTS
HANDLING OF THIS CRISIS THE NOW
MAJOR OUTBREAK AT SAN QUENTIN
THREATENS THE INCARCERATED
PEOPLE ON STAFF THERE BUT ALSO
BAY AREA HOSPITALS AND
RESIDENTS. SUBSEQUENT TRANSFERS
FROM SANDY. TO THE CORRECTIONAL
FACILITY IN SUSANVILLE SO THIS
HAPPENED AFTER THE TRANSFER
FROM CHINO. NOW HAS TO THAT
FACILITY WITH OVER TWO HUNDRED
CASES AND SUSAN BILL IS THE
PIPELINE FOR OUR FIRE CAMPS AND
WE ARE IN FIRE SEASON. THE
TRANSFER OF ONE INCARCERATED
PERSON TO THE SACRAMENTO PRISON
FACILITY RESULTED IN A NURSE
AND A STAFF THERE WHO PROCESS
THAT INDIVIDUAL. TURNING
CASTING NOW POSITIVE THESE IN
THE ORIGINAL TRANSFER. RAISE
LEGITIMATE CONCERN IN ANGER AT
CDC OURS HANDLING OF THE
PANDEMIC. ACCORDING TO THE
DEPARTMENT CDC ARE IN TWENTY
EIGHTEEN THE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
THOUSAND OR SO PEOPLE THAT ARE
HELD IN OUR STATE PRISONS SERVE
ON AVERAGE JUST THREE POINT TWO
YEARS THAT'S THEIR AVERAGE
SENTENCE. NOW THOUSANDS OF
THOSE ARE BEING HELD IN FEAR OF
DEATH. IN FEAR OF PERMANENT
MEDICAL COMPLICATIONS AN INJURY
FROM COVERT NINETEEN AS WELL AS
I MENTIONED THE THREAT OF
SPREAD NOT ONLY THE THREAT WITH
ME NO THE SPREAD IN OUR
COMMUNITIES. THREE COURSE
REPEAT AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE
LEGITIMATELY AN EXTREMELY
WORRIED ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN
TO THEM CD R. C. OUR STAFF AND
THEIR FAMILIES ARE LEGITIMATELY
AND CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT IS
HAPPENING. THE PLAIN FACT IS.
THE VIRUS IS OUT OF CONTROL AT
OUR STATE PRISON FACILITIES AND
IT IS DEFINING EVERY CURVE WE
POINT TO FOR PROGRESS. IN THE
PLAIN FACT IS OUR PRISONS ARE
STILL OVER CROWDED AND THERE
ARE MANY HUNDREDS OF MEDICALLY
VULNERABLE AND VERY ELDERLY
INMATES WHO AS WE KNOW FROM THE
PUBLIC HEALTH DATA ARE MOST AT
RISK OF DEATH FROM THE SPIRES.-THE ATTENTION AT LEAST MY
INTENTION FOR TODAY'S HEARING.
IS TO HEAR FROM THE SEED FROM
CDC ARE INDEED MINISTRATION ON
THE STATUS OF THE OUTBREAK.
WHAT THEIR PLAN IS FOR
CONTAINING THE VIRUS IN
REDUCING DEATHS. AND FOR
LIMITING COMMUNITY SPREAD. AND
HEAR WHAT THE PLAN IS FOR
IDENTIFYING AND ACCOUNTING
EXCUSE ME FOR STAFF CONFECTIONS
BECAUSE THE REPORTED NUMBERS
SEEM VERY LOW. AND YOUR STAND
THE TESTING PROCESS AND HOW
REFUSALS FOR TESTS ARE BEING
MANAGED. AND THEN TO HEAR FROM
CDC OUR STAFF REPRESENTATIVES
AND ADVOCATES WHO WERE IN
COMMUNICATION. WITH
INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS AS
WELL AS AN EXTERNAL MEDICAL
TEAM THAT VISITED STANDPOINT SO
THE TWO PANELS WILL HAVE. WELL
ALL POLL INTRODUCED THE PANELS
IN A MOMENT LET US JUST TURN
SENATOR MORE LIKE DO YOU HAVE
ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO OPEN
WITH. THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT
OR MEASURES USE ME- THERE WAS A
RECENT TELEVISION NEWS- REPORT-
SHOWING VIDEO OF. INMATES
INTENTIONALLY SPREADING CODE
NINETEEN- IT WOULD BE
INTERESTING TODAY TO LEARN
WHAT. WAS THEIR ASSUMPTION. EN
ROUTE WHY ARE THEY DOING IT
INTENTIONALLY- SO WHEN WE HEAR
THE PANELISTS I'D LIKE TO. SEE
WHAT'S GOING ON BUT I- ECHO
YOUR CONCERNS AND THANK YOU FOR
YOUR OPENING REMARKS. THANK
IT'S THEIR BREAD. THANK THANK
YOU MADAM CHAIR AND I THINK
THIS IS A CRITICALLY IMPORTANT
HEARING AND- NOT ONLY FOR THE
SAFETY OF THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO
WORK AT THESE FACILITIES BUT
THE INMATES THEMSELVES AND WE
HAVE TO BE CRITICAL CLEAR THAT
THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE
INCARCERATED. HAVE NOT BROUGHT
THIS DISEASE INTO THIS FACILITY.
AND WHAT. WORK IN THIS FACILITY
THE GOAL. ASUS WHO HAS BROUGHT
THE SAN AND I THINK IT'S
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THAT THESE
INDIVIDUALS ARE TESTED ON A
REGULAR BASIS TO NOT ONLY AS
YOUR CHAIR WOMAN STATED MAKE
SURE THAT THEIR FAMILY AND
FRIENDS ARE OURS ARE SAFE AND-
AFFECTED BY THIS DISEASE BUT
MORE IMPORTANTLY THE MEN AND
WOMEN WHO ARE INCARCERATED WHO
CANNOT BELIEVE THESE FACILITIES
SO. I'M INTERESTED IN HEARING.
ALSO FROM THE LEADERS HERE THIS
SILLY OR WHAT THEY'RE DOING TO
MAKE SURE THAT THE MEN AND
WOMEN WHO WORK THERE ARE TESTED
BEFORE THEY COME TO WORK ON A
DAILY BASIS. THANK YOU SENATOR
WIENER. HI THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR AND I'M SURE I REALLY
WANNA- THANK YOU FOR CONVENING
THIS HEARING BUT ALSO ON YOUR
CONSISTENTLY TO SHIP ON THIS
ISSUE AND YOU HAVE BEEN DEEPLY
PERSONAL AND KIDS. ON THIS
SPECIFICALLY AROUND COVERED
NINETEEN OF TO SEE OUR FOR
MONTHS NOW AND ASKING A LOT OF
QUESTIONS AND PUSHING- CDC ARE
AND YOU HAVE BEEN ON THIS FROM
THE BEGINNING AND FRANKLY. A
LOT OF BY I WISH SO A LOT OF
YOUR ADVOCACY HAVE BEEN CHEATED
MORE OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS
COULD WE PERHAPS COULD AVOIDED
THIS FIASCO SAN QUENTIN. FOR A-
FOR YOUR ROCKETS LEADER. ON I
THINK LOOKING AT BIG PICTURE
HERE TRAGICALLY. THE THAT WHAT
IS HAPPENING OVERSEEING AT SAN
QUENTIN ELSEWHERE WITH THE
SPREAD OF THIS CONTINUE TO. I
SHOULD SURPRISE NO ONE.
CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN ON THE
LEADING CUTTING THIS ACCOUNTS
INCARCERATION FOR DECADES- ON
THE CUTTING EDGE IN A BAD WAY.
THE STATE HAS PIONEERED MASS
INCARCERATION GOING FROM E.
STATE PRISONS IN THE SEVENTIES
TO OVER THIRTY STATE PRISONS BY
THE TURN OF THE CENTURY. AND
DESPITE THAT EXPLOSION AND
NUMBER OF PRISONS AND THE COST
TO OUR BUDGET. AND THE COST TO
SO MANY COMMUNITIES
PARTICULARLY COMMUNITIES OF
COLOR TORN APART OUR PRISONS
WERE STILL MAGICALLY
OVERCROWDED AND SO DRAMATICALLY
OVERCROWDED THAT THE YOU
SUPPORT US WAS ON CON. FIVE AND
SO IT NOT SHOCKING THAT WITH.
THAT LEVEL OF MASSACRE. AND
INTO PRISONS NOT SHOT. THAT A
CONTAGION LIKE COVER NINETEEN
WOULD SPREAD HI AND THIS IS YET
ANOTHER REMINDER OF THE
ABSOLUTE IMPERATIVE TO REDUCE
OUR PRISON POPULATIONS AND MOVE
TOWARDS CARS SERRATION. IT IS.
A MASS INCARCERATION. IF THE-
HI DOES NOT MAKE US CITY FOR AS
A STATE BUT A COSTS AN ENORMOUS
AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT COULD BE
GOING TO HEALTH EDUCATION AND
OTHER NEEDS- AND IT TEARS APART
COMMUNITIES IN THE HOUSE TO
STOP IN THIS IS YET ANOTHER
REMINDER TO MOVE AGGRESSIVELY
TOWARD THE CAR'S SERRATION IN A
SHORT WE NEED REDUCE POPULATION.
AND HEALTH TO. THIS DEMOCRATS
IN ON OUR PER WHICH I THE CHAIR
NOTES WILL NOT STATE A THE
PRISON. WHATEVER HAPPENS IN OUR
PRISONS AS A TENDENCY TO SAID I
TESTED OUT SYSTEM PRISON.
PRISONS ARE LINKED TO SOCIETY
AND WHATEVER HAPPENS IN PRISONS
WILL SPREAD OUT INTO THE
COMMUNITY AND VICE VERSA. WE
ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER AND SO
I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING
TODAY- TO SEE WHAT CDC ARE
GOING RIGHT NOW. TO DRAW A
CLEAR CHANGE ITS APPROACH
PRONTO THING AROUND THE RELEASE
BY MAKING SURE WE'RE TESTING
PEOPLE AS THEY'RE BEING
RELEASEDSO THAT WE ARE
MONITORING THAT SITUATION. SO
THAT WE CAN GET AHEAD ON US AND
IT RELATED ISSUE THAT I WILL BE
RAISING. I THINK IS INCREDIBLY
POOR AND- THAT IS WHY IS CITIES
PRK CONTINUING TO TRANSFER.
KEEP FROM ITS CUSTODY TO ICE.
BECAUSE WHEN WE TROUT THE ICE
SEND PEOPLE WHO MAY BE MATTER
MONO THEMSELVES. TO PRIVATE
PRISON ICE DETENTION FACILITIES
THERE OVERWHELMINGLY RUN BY
PRIVATE ENTITIES- WHERE WE
BELIEVE THAT ONE IN THREE OF
THE DETAINEES AND THOSE EYES
FACILITIES. IT IS COVERED
POSITIVE THESE ARE COVERED HOT
SPOTS BECAUSE THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT HAS SHOWN OVER AND
OVER AGAIN THAT IT IS EITHER
UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO DEAL
WITH PANDEMIC. AND THAT IS ON
WILLING TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF
IMMIGRANTS AND WE NEED TO STOP
TRANSFER. CUSTODY OF OUR STAY
PRISONS TO ICE DETENTION
FACILITIES AND NEEDS TO AND
IMMEDIATELY THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR. THANK YOU CENTER WIENER
SENATOR MITCHELL. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH- MADAM CHAIR FIRST OF
ALL LET ME ECHO THE COMMENTS
MADE BY MY COLLEAGUES IN
THANKING YOU FOR YOUR
STEADFAST. MOM FOCUS ON THIS
ISSUE- AND CLEARLY THAT'S WHAT
IT'S GOING TO TAKE IN TERMS OF.
NOT ONLY APPROPRIATE OVERSIGHT
BUT JUST ON MAKING SURE THAT WE
ARE FULLY AWARE. STATEMENTS ARE
FULLY AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON.
YOU KNOW MORE THAN FIFTEEN
YEARS AGO ON AS A RESULT OF
PLOT A VERSUS FOR TODAY OR THE
FEDERAL COURT DETERMINE THAT
CDC ARE HAS FAILED TO MEET THE
BASIC CONSTITUTIONAL. RIGHTS OF
INMATES WITH REGARD TO ACCESS
TO HEALTH CARE SERVICES SO FAST
FOR DATA TWENTY TWENTY AND
WE'RE STILL UNDER THE RESULTING
RECEIVERSHIP. BECAUSE WE REALLY
HAVEN'T STRUCTURALLY FIX THE
PROBLEM DEAR TO MANY PEOPLE
INTO CONFINED SPACE WITH TOO
FEW RESOURCES. AND THAT BRINGS
US TO THE CONVERSATION TODAY
WERE UNFORTUNATELY NONE OF US
ARE SURPRISED. THE COOL BUT
NINETEEN HAS FOUND ITS WAY DEEP
INTO OUR PRISON SYSTEM. AND IN
MY OPINION THE SITUATION
CURRENTLY OF FAN QUICKNESS
CLEARLY JUST THE CANARY IN THE
COAL MINE. WE WILL SEE IN LESS
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES HAPPEN.
PRISON AFTER PRISON AFTER
PRISON WE ALREADY KNOW THAT
THERE ARE THOUSAND CASES IT SEE
I AM IN CHINO. AND SO THIS IS
ON FORCING JUST THE TIP OF THE
ICEBERG UNLESS DRASTIC CHANGE
HAPPENS. MANY OBSERVERS HAD
NOTED SOME CONCERNING PRACTICES
IN THE SYSTEM THE CONFLICT WITH
ADVICE FROM THE WHL THE CITY.
COUNTY HEALTH DIRECTOR
STATEWIDE. THIS IS LIKE THE
TRANSFERS INITIATIVE BEEN
SHELTERING LACK OF
COMMUNICATION WITH FAMILY AND
LOVED ONES AND THE
DISCONTINUATION OF PROGRAMMING.
IN OTHER INSTANCES MAYBE GIVE
GET GUIDELINES ARE BEING
FOLLOWED AS IT'S BEEN ASSERTED
BY THE DEPARTMENT AND YET THE
DISEASE CONTINUES TO SPREAD.
CLEARLY SOMETHING IS AMISS. I
TOO AM EAGER TO HEAR TODAY WHAT
THE PLAN OF ACTION IS FROM THIS
POINT GOING FORWARD. AS CHAIR
OF THE JOINT LEGISLATIVE BUDGET
COMMITTEE I AM KEENLY AWARE OF
THE NEEDS AND REQUESTS THE
DEPARTMENT WILL BE USING THAT
LANDS IN TODAY'S HEARING I LOOK
FOR T. PARTICIPATED IN THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR CONVENIENT IF
THANK YOU SENATOR JACKSON'S.
YES THANK YOU OF. MADAM CHAIR
AND ALSO I SHARE THE SAME DEEP
CONCERN ABOUT THE LACK OF-
OVERSIGHT THE LACK OF. CARING
AND COMPASSION THAT SEEMS TO
EXIST IN OUR PRISON SYSTEM WITH
RESPECT TO. OUR THE PRISONERS
THERE ARE WITH RESPECT TO THEIR
HEALTHCARE. AS JUST NOTED BY MY
GOOD COLLEAGUE FROM LOS
ANGELES. LOOKING AT THE ISSUE
WHETHER IT WAS WOMEN CONTINUING
TO BE STERILIZED IN PRISON.
WHETHER IT'S THE LACK OF
CONCERN FOR TRUE
REHABILITATION- OUR PRISON
SYSTEM FRANKLY I THINK HAS
FAILED US AND IN NO GREATER
RESPECT THAN WHAT WE'RE SEEING
NOW WITH THIS COVERT SITUATION.
I HAVE A FEDERAL PRISON IN MY
DISTRICT THE LONG POKE FEDERAL
PENITENTIARY WHICH WAS PRIOR TO
SAN QUENTIN. OF THE PLACE WITH
THE GREATEST INCREASE AND
SURGING OF COVERT NINETEEN
CASES- THE ABOUT THE INABILITY
TO GET INFORMATION. TO BE ABLE
TO HOLD THESE PEOPLE
ACCOUNTABLE OF COURSE THE
FEDERAL SO THEY REALLY DON'T
CARE MUCH ABOUT WHAT THE STATE
HAS TO SAY ABOUT ANYTHING. BUT
NONE THE LESS WE SEE THE SAME
KIND OF LACK OF REGARD- IN OUR
OWN CD SHE OUR SYSTEM WHEN IT
COMES TO HOW WE TREAT THESE
CENTERS. AND HOW WE ADDRESS THE
SERIOUSNESS OF THIS PROBLEM.
ARE THERE PEOPLE IN PRISON WHO
SOME MIGHT CAN TO BE. LESS THAN
THE REST OF US THE FACT OF THE
MATTER IS THAT THESE ARE PEOPLE
OVER WHOM WE ALL OF
RESPONSIBILITY THEY ARE
INCARCERATED. THEY HAVE THEY
HAVE LOST THEIR FREEDOM- AND SO
WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO
CARE FOR THEM AS HUMAN BEINGS.
AND WE'RE NOT DOING THAT SO I
WILL BE VERY INTERESTED TO HEAR
WHAT HAPPENS TODAY AS WELL. I
AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH OUR
FEDERAL SYSTEM. WHICH AGAIN
DOES NOT THINK THAT THEY HAVE
ANY ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE
PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND
YET MANY OF THOSE GUARDS IN THE
STAFF AND THE PEOPLE WHO WORK
THERE. HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO
THIS CONDITION AND BROUGHT IT
BACK INTO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY-
I THINK THAT THAT IS PART OF
THE CRISIS THAT WE'RE SEEING-
BUT THE- THE FACT THAT THERE
HAS BEEN A COMPLETE AND UTTER
DISREGARD OF FOR THESE. THE
INMATES AS HUMAN BEINGS AND THE
RESPONSIBILITIES THAT WE HAVE A
SOCIETY TO KEEP PEOPLE AT LEAST
THE VERY BASIC LEVEL OF HUMAN
DIGNITY. I HAS REALLY LED TO
THIS PROBLEM TODAY AND IT IS MY
HOPE THAT OUT OF ADVERSITY.
COMES OPPORTUNITY OR AS THEY
SAY OUT OF WOMEN SHE TRIED TO
MAKE LEMONADE THAT WE CAN
REALLY START MOVING AND
FINANCING ARE MORE CARING A
MORE CHARGED UP IN FAIRVIEW.
ALTHOUGH WE HAVE AN CARP TO
THOSE WHO FOR WHATEVER DESERVE
A TO BE ISOLATED FROM THE
GENERAL POPULATION BUT THEY
SHOULD NOT BE ISOLATED FROM
HUMANITY AND THAT I THINK IS
WHAT I HOPE WE CAN ADDRESS SIR
STARTED PRESSING TODAY
DIMENSION. THANK YOU CENTER
JACKSON FROM THERE IN TO
MEMBERS ALSO ONE TO MAKE SOME.
COM ON. TURN TO THE IMAGES ONE
MOMENT BUT I AM INDICATING IT'S
NINE TWENTY FOUR BECAUSE- OUR
FIRST PANEL INCLUDES TO-
REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE STATE
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH WHO
I UNDERSTAND HAVE A HARD STOP
AT TEN. SO SINCE I KNOW MANY OF
US WILL HAVE QUITE AN ONE MAKE
SURE THAT WE GIVE THAT PANEL
ADEQUATE TIME SO NOW I WILL
TURN TO SENATOR MCGUIRE
FOLLOWED BY- ASSEMBLY MEMBER-
LEVINE AND THEN ASSEMBLY MEMBER
KALRA. MINIATURE THANK YOU

APPRECIATION MADAM CHAIR TO YOU

A MOMENT TO THIS TO SAY THANK
YOU TO SECTOR IDEAS HE'S BEEN
RESPONSIVE- TO THE NEEDS AND
WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY
OBVIOUSLY- I DON'T TAKE
LIGHTLY. AND I AM NOT ONE. TO
TYPICALLY GO AFTER STATE.
AGENCIES BUT HERE'S MY
CHALLENGE. REPRESENT THAT AREA
WHERE- TEN CLINTON IS AT. AND
I'M GONNA EASE A PHRASE THAT
CAME FROM AN EPIDEMIOLOGIST IN
MARIN COUNTY TODAY. THE
CONDITIONS IN ST CLINTON THIS
MORNING. HAVE UNSTOPPABLE
MOMENTUM. UNSTOPPABLE MOMENTUM
IF THE CURRENT CONDITIONS.
CONTINUE IN THE DAYS TO COME.
AND AGAIN I DON'T. SAID A
SLIGHTLY BUT THIS IS A FAILURE
OF LEADERSHIP. THIS CRISIS IS
COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE. THE BASIC
THE BASIC PROACTIVE ACTIONS
THAT COULD HAVE BEEN INITIATED
BACK IN EARLY JUNE SIMPLY NEVER
HAPPEN TO THE LEVEL WHERE
SUCCESS COULD BE G. THE A
HUNDRED TWENTY TO HUNDRED AND
THIRTY. PRISONERS TRANSFERRED
FROM CHINO SHOULD EVER HAPPEN
IN SUCH AN OLD FACILITY WHERE
THERE WERE NO SOLID DOORS. NO
SOLID DOORS AND THEN THE VIRUS
SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE. THERE IS
NO PROACTIVE MEASURES WE ARE
LEADING BEHIND THE- THERE'S
STAFFING SHORTAGES LACK OF
CLEANING PROTOCOLS. NOT ENOUGH
SECURITY NOW AND HOSPITALS.
LACK OF COMMUNICATION WITH
PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCIES IN BOTH
THE COUNTY MARIN COUNTY SAN
FRANCISCO. PHYSICIANS ARE NOW
SPENDING. HOURS UPON HOURS TO
FIND HOSPITAL BEDS TO TRANSFER
INMATES OUT TO. THERE IS
INSUFFICIENT CUSTODY COULD
STAFFING. AND TONIGHT WE'LL
HAVE OUR FOLLOW AT THAT MEETING
WITH WE'LL CALL IT ALL HANDS ON
DECK MEETING BETWEEN. THE
LEGISLATURE CDC ARE. SAN
FRANCISCO PUBLIC HEALTH MARIN
PUBLIC HEALTH ALONG WITH THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE. WE NEED TO
DEVELOP A UNIFIED INCIDENT
COMMAND ON SITE BOTTOM LINE ALL
AGENCIES INVOLVED ARE HEARING
THE SAME THING ALL AT ONCE WE
NEED TO DEVELOP A STRATEGY TO
CREATE SEARCH CAPACITY FOR I
SEE YOU IN HOSPITAL BEDS IN THE
GREATER BAY AREA. AS OF TEN PM
LAST NIGHT TWENTY FOUR OUT OF
TWENTY FIVE I SEE BEDS IN MARIN
ARE FULL EIGHT ARE SAN QUENTIN
INMATES. WE NEED TO CREATE. EMS
PROTOCOLS FOR PATIENT TRANSFERS
SO THAT WE'RE NOT FLOODING ONE
AREA OF THE BAY. BUT THERE IS A
STRATEGY TO BE ABLE TO TRANSFER.
THERE IS GOING TO NEED TO BE
SOME TYPE OF ON SITE MEDICAL
FACILITY. ESTABLISHED WE NEED
TO DISCUSS WHAT THAT STRATEGIES
FOR PLANNED EARLY RELEASE IN
WHERE THOSE INDIVIDUALS WILL
POTENTIALLY BE QUARANTINE. AND
THERE HAS TO BE A LONG TERM
DECISION ON ADDITIONAL
TRANSFERS INTO THE FACILITY.

THE EXTENT OF THIS VIRUS NOW IN
ALL THE REST THE FACILITIES
EXCEPT WHAT IS REPORTED WE KNOW
THAT EVERYONE HAS NOT BEEN
TESTED WE KNOW THAT ALL GUARDS
OF NOT. TO STAFF I SHOULD SAY
STAFF HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED SO I
THINK THAT. WHILE YOU OF
OUTLINED A PLAN FOR ONE
FACILITY. THIS MUST BE A PLAN
FOR THE ENTIRE SYSTEM.

THE CALIFORNIA PRISON INDUSTRY
AUTHORITY WE BEGAN PRODUCING
CLAW YOUR MASK WOULD TO
DISTRIBUTE IT INSTITUTIONS FOR
THE USE OF STAFF AND INMATES.
ONCE MASSIVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED
THROUGHOUT THE INSTITUTIONS THE
USE OF MASS BY INMATES AND
STAFF BECAME MANDATORY. AND IT
CONTINUES TO BE MANDATORY. A
KNOWLEDGE DURING THE IMPORTANCE
OF PHYSICAL DISTANCE INTO
PREVENTING THE SPREAD OF THE
COVERNINETEEN WE ACTIVATED
GYMNASIUMS I CAN HOUSING UNITS
WITHIN INSTITUTIONS TO MOVE
THOUSANDS OF IN MY TO BOMB
ACOSTA HOUSING TO SPACES. OR OR
COULD INCREASE PHYSICAL
DISTANCING TO SIX FEET IN ALL
DIRECTIONS. AND WE ATTEMPTED TO
ACHIEVE THIS WE MODIFIED A
PROGRAM ALSO SUSPENDED INTO A
COMPANION J. S. EXPEDITED THE
RELEASE APPROXIMATELY THREE
THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED ARCHERY
PERSONS IN APRIL. DO STE THE
IN. A CAR TRADE POPULATION BY
MORE THAN EIGHT THOUSAND SINCE
MID MARCH. WE INTENDED TO
FURTHER REDUCE THE POPULATION
BY IMPLEMENTING ROLLING EARLY
RELEASES STARTING THIS WEEK AND
NEXT. THIS IS A STATE WIDE
EFFORT. STAND STERN OF THE
FAMILY GLOBAL. MR WEBB'S AND
EMAIL AND THE THEM IN. AND
RIGHT OF THE NEED TO THE
INCARCERATED PEOPLE CONTACT
WITH THEIR LOVED ONES. WE ALSO
PARTNERED WITH OUR PHONE
CONTRACTORS TO PROVIDE FREE
PHONE CALLS EACH MONTH AND
EXPANDED PHONE ACCESS TO
CERTAIN PRIVILEGED GROUPS
OTHERWISE WOULD NOT HAVE THAT.
THANKS TO THE PARTNERSHIP WITH
LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND
WITH THE HELP OF THE STATEWIDE
TESTING TASK FORCE WE HAVE
PERFORMED MANDATE. MANDATORY
STOP TESTING AT TWELVE
INSTITUTIONS WE TESTED
APPROXIMATELY THIRTEEN THOUSAND
TWO HUNDRED STAFF. THERE ARE
STILL MORE TESTS PENDING WITH
THESE RESULTS IN THEIR ONGOING
EVEN AS WE SPEAK BUT AS YOU SEE
ON THE PUBLIC TRACKER THERE
HAVE BEEN EIGHT HUNDRED AND
FORTY SEVEN. ALL THE STAFF
BASIS. WE BEGIN RIGOROUS STOP
TESTING- RIGOR STEP TESTING
PLAN AT FOUR INSTITUTION THAT
ARE SUBJECT TO THE CD PHP ALL
NURSING FACILITY GUIDELINES.
THIS INCLUDES BASELINE TESTING
FOR ALL STAFF BY JUNE
THIRTIETH. IS ALREADY HAPPENED
WILL REQUIRE SERIAL TESTING ON
A WEEKLY BASIS UNTIL. THERE ARE
MULTIPLE TESTING ADVANCE WITH
NO POSSIBLE CASES. IN ADDITION
TO THE PARTNERSHIP WITH C. P.
H. AND THE HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES AGENCY CDC ARE AS WELL
IS MOVING FORWARD. TO A NON
SKILLEDNURSING TESTING PLAN.
THAT PROVIDES FOR WEEKLY SERIAL
TESTING OF STAFF AT
INSTITUTIONS WHERE THERE IS AN
OUTBREAK. SO IS THE CASE A ST.
WHERE ALL OUT OF STATE WATER
SOME TO PROVIDE FOR THE
FREQUENCY OF THIS OUTBREAK IN
INSTITUTIONS AND BASS LINE AND
FUTURE SURVEILLANCE TESTING.
ALL OTHER INSTITUTIONS STARTING
TODAY. OR SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND
STAFF SPREADING THROUGHOUT
EVERY CORNER CALIFORNIA IT'S
BEEN A CHALLENGE TO FIND A
VENDOR WAS SUFFICIENT CAPACITY.
BUT WE'RE MORE REPORTER
INGRESSIVE. SO WHILE WE ARE
DEVELOP COMPREHENSIVE
STRATEGIES RESPOND CODE
NINETEEN TO MINIMIZE THE SPREAD
OF THE VIRUS. THE VIRUS STILL
CONTINUES TO SPREAD IN OUR
FACILITY JUST DECIDED BY ALL
THE SPEAKERS AND YOU MADAM. WE

EFFORTS IN EVERY SINGLE WAY
POSSIBLE. WHICH INCLUDES AND
PROTECTION FOR CONTINUED
PRODUCTIVE COLLABORATION WILL
EVALUATE STAKEHOLDERS. NOW I
WILL SAY I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE
A LOT OF QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW
ONE THING THAT I DID HERE. WAS
THE LACK OF CARE THERE'S A
THOUGHT THAT. I'M GONNA
QUESTIONS OR MYSELF DO NOT CARE
ABOUT POPULATION OR WE VIEW
THEM AS SUBHUMAN OR THEY DON'T
DESERVE THE SAME TYPES OF
CONSIDERATIONS AS ALL OF US ARE
ALL OF US YOU SEE RIGHT HERE. I
SAY THAT. INSOFAR AS THE TRUTH
WE HAVE MORE TIRELESSLY TO
CHANGE THE CULTURE INSTITUTIONS
WE HAVE DEDICATED STAFF MEMBERS
RETURNING TO WORK TO THE TUNE
RIGHT NOW THREE HUNDRED AND
STAFF THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY
STAFF MEMBERS HAVE RETURNED TO
WORK. TO DO THE WORK OF
ASSISTING IN MITIGATING AND
HELPING OUT IN REDUCING THE
SCOPE IT. SO THE THOUGHT THAT
WE DON'T CARE I DON'T CARE
PERSONALLY. ALL THIS FROM THE
TRUTH. WE CARE ABOUT THE
INMATES WE CARE ABOUT THE STAFF
COULD WE HAVE DONE BETTER IN
MANY INSTANCES AND I CAN ANSWER
SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS OF
COURSE WE CAN. WE'RE FOUR
MONTHS INTO A PANDEMIC FOUR
MONTHS IN A WORLDWIDE PANDEMIC
THAT WE ARE WE ARE LEANING AND
LEADING INTO ANY RESOURCES ALL
SMALL THE RECEIVERS OFFICES CDC
ARE EVAN WORKING ARM IN ARM TO
TRY AND MITIGATE AT ALL
INSTITUTIONS NOT JUST. NOT
RIGHT OUTSIDE OUR- WITH THE
WITH THAT TO A MADAM SO. TAKE
YOUR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU I
THINK THAT WE'RE GOING TO HOLD
ON TO QUESTIONS TO YOU IN HERE
FROM DOCTOR GOLLY BECAUSE I'VE
JUST LEARNED THAT HE HAS JOINED
US SO IF I COULD TURN TO DR
GOLLY WHO'S THE SECRETARY THE
CALIFORNIA HEALTH AND HER HUMAN
SERVICES AGENCY AND WHO'S BEEN
DIRECTING CALIFORNIA'S PUBLIC
HEALTH RESPONSE TO THE ENDEMIC
TACTICAL. IS A NOT AVAILABLE.
SAID DR ALL YOU NEED TO ON YOU
YOURSELF IN. WE CAN'T HEAR YOU
YOU NEED TO BE ON MUTED OKAY
ARE YOU ABLE TO HEAR YEAH NOW
WE CAN'T YES GOING GLOBAL THANK
YOU. WOMEN THANK YOU. HAVE
MANY- I HAVE LIMITED TIME BUT I
AM. RICHARD OF HAVING A CHANCE
TO JOIN THIS HEARING THIS VERY
IMPORTANT HEARING ON WHAT I
THINK IS AN ESSENTIAL AND
IMPORTANT ISSUE ACROSS OUR
STATE- I WANT TO THANK
SECRETARY DEALS FOR ITS
PARTNERSHIP OVER THE LAST MANY
MONTHS- THEIR THAT. REALLY
BEGAN TO BACK IN MARCH AS WE
BEGAN TO SEE THE- THE RAT
WITHIN OUR PRISON SYSTEM JUST
AS WE- THROUGH- HHS ARE
COMPARTMENTS EARLY. E. PH AS
WELL AS OUR I AM SO. TO BE ABLE
TO PARTNER WITH- CDC ARE IN
ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THE
PROTOCOLS. AND THE- PLANS
AROUND INFECTION CONTROL AND
TESTING ARE ROLLED OUT. I WANT
TO BEGIN BY- ALSO STREAM BAD
TODAY OUR FOCUS IS ON THE
ISSUES AT SAN QUENTIN MOVING
FORWARD ENSURING THAT IT AS WE
CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SOME
SUPPORT TO SECRETARY DO ES AND
THE RECEIVER AND THEIR
RESPECTIVE TEAMS AT THE
FACILITY AND BEYOND. BAD WE
LOOK FORWARD TO INSTITUTING
MANY OF THE THINGS THAT WERE
MENTIONED BY THE COMMITTEE
MEMBERS AND I SECRETARY DHEAS
IN TERMS OF INFECTION CONTROL
IN TERMS OF THE INCIDENT
COMMANDER. IN TERMS OF MODELING
WHAT WE EXPECT TO SEE NOT JUST
INSANE C. BUT IN OTHER CDC
ARE PRISCILLA NEEDS. ENSURING
THAT. BEEN SUPPLIED AND PROCESS
SEES AN LABS ARE AVAILABLE SO
THAT IF WE DON'T HAVE FURTHER
DELAYS IN TESTING THAT COULD BE
DONE ENSURING THAT ASSETS SUCH
AS STAFF HANDS FOR ON SITE ON
PROPERTY ADDITIONAL HOUSING
UNITS ARE AVAILABLE SO THAT WE
CAN DO FOR CRIME RATE AND-
THANKS. SURE THAT. THIS IS BOTH
IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY JUVENILE
DETENTION FACILITIES AND AT THE
LARGEST JAIL SYSTEM IN THE
NATION- THIS COMES FROM A
NUMBER OF YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
RUNNING THOSE JAIL FACILITIES-
AND THEIR MAP ARE THE MEDICAL
SERVICES THERE SAID IT IN A
PANDEMIC OR IN ANY OPERATE THE
FIRST ISSUE IS TO IDENTIFY
THOSE WHO ARE SICK. THIS IS NOT.
AND AMONG THOSE WHO ARE NOT
SICK WE MUST KNOW WHO ARE
INFECTED AND WE'RE NOT THAT
EFFECTIVELY COAL OR DAM IN
DISTINCT AREAS. SERVED BY
BOOSTING STAFF AND LIMITING
MOVEMENT AND MAKE SEEN AS MUCH
AS POSSIBLE. BECAUSE IF WE
HAVEN'T YOU CONTROL THE ENTRY
OF THE VIRUS OR THE INFECTION
THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR THE JOB
NUMBER ONE IS TO MAKE SURE.
CONTAINMENT HAPPENS IN THE
FACILITY IN A SUCCESSFUL WAY.
ONCE YOU'VE IDENTIFIED THE
STATE AND- INFECTION CONTROL
PROCEDURES FOR THOSE WHO ARE
NOT SAID IT'S IMPORTANT TO
MONITOR THOSE WHO ARE KNOWN TO
BE INFECTED YEAH I'M NOT
CERTAIN. AND THEN ALSO ENSURE
THAT WE CONTINUE TO CAST AND-
TRACK THOSE WHO ARE NOT YET
INSPECTED TO ENSURE THAT IF
THEY DO BECOME INFECTED WE PAY
CLOSE ATTENTION. FOR THOSE WHO
ARE SICK WE OBVIOUSLY WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT THOSE WHO NEED A
CUTE HIGH LEVEL CARE ARE
TRANSFERRED SAFELY AND
IMMEDIATELY TO OUTSIDE
FACILITIES TO RECEIVE THAT
LEVEL OF CARE. THINK THE PLANS
THAT ARE IN PLACE MOVING
FORWARD TO WORK WITH THE
COMMUNITY HOSPITAL SYSTEM THE
LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENTS
NOT JUST IN MARIN AND SAN
FRANCISCO BUT ALSO IN OTHER
COUNTIES ACROSS THE BAY. WHERE
HOSPITALS MAY BE ACCEPTING
PATIENTS TO WORK THROUGH THE
REGIONAL COORDINATING SYSTEM AT
OUR ANSWER SYSTEM LED BY DR
DAVE DUNCAN. HE HIMSELF HAS
HELPED MANAGE THE TRANSFER OF
PATIENTS AND IMPERIAL COUNTY TO
VARIOUS OUTLINED HOW TO COUNTY
FACILITIES THE SAME HANNAH AND
I KNOW IS PLANNED TO BE DONE
NOW IN THE SAME CUENTA QUE.
THIS REQUIRES CLOSE CONNECTION
WITH DOCTOR WILLIS AND HIS TEAM
AT THE MARIN PUBLIC HEALTH
DEPARTMENT AND IN PARTICULAR
CLOSE WORK WITH MARIN GENERAL
HOSPITAL AND ENSURING THAT THAT
HOSPITAL HAS CAPABILITY NOT
JUST THE SERVER. THINK QUENTIN
PATIENTS BUT AS ASSEMBLY MAN
PAUL LEVINE MENTIONED ENSURING
THAT THERE'S ADEQUATE CAPACITY.
FOR THE MARINE COMMUNITY AS
WELL. FURTHERMORE PART OF WHAT
THE SECRETARY MENTION. CLOSE
AND CONNECTED WORK WITH
DIRECTOR GIL DUTY ACT HELLO
YEAH THAT'S ENSURING THAT WE
HAVE THE ABILITY TO BRING
ADDITIONAL SPACE TO TREATMENT
CAPABILITY AND SPACE TO SAN
QUENTIN TO ENSURE THOSE WHO ARE
SHOWING FORMERLY SIGNS AND
SYMPTOMS OR MODERATE TO MILD
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS. CAN BE
ADEQUATELY CARED FOR ON THE
FACILITY WITH STRONG MEDICAL
PERSONNEL DIRECTOR QUIT MEANS
AND MEDICINES IN ORDER TO MAKE
SURE THAT IF THEY CAN AVOID
GOING TO THE OUTSIDE
FACILITIES. THAT WERE ABLE TO
DO THAT IN A SAFE AND
MEANINGFUL WAY THAT IF CHORUS
IN SURE IS THAT THOSE WHO NEED
A HIGHER LEVEL OF CARE HAVE
ADEQUATE ACCESS TO THOSE
SERVICES BOTH WITHIN THE PRISON
SYSTEM AND IN THE COMMUNITY AT
LARGE. ALTHOUGH THIS IS AN
UNPRECEDENTED SITUATION THE
RULES AND LESSONS WE'VE LEARNED
FROM PRIOR OUTBREAKS IN PRISONS
IN CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS-
HOLD TRUE TODAY IN THIS SETTING
AND I JUST WANT UNDER SCHOOL OR
BEFORE I TURN IT BACK TO YOU
CHAIRWOMAN WHAT YOU SAID THIS
IS NOT JUST A SAN QUENTIN
ISSUE. WE MUST CONTINUE TO
LEARN THE LESSONS AND THIS OF
ALL BEING PANDEMIC AND ENSURE
THAT WE NOT ONLY TAKE THOSE
INTO ACCOUNT AT SAN QUENTIN BUT
ALL OF THIS ALREADY AND MY
ENTIRE AGENCY AND OUR
DEPARTMENTS CONTINUOUS READY
THE SERVER. PARTNER WITH
SECRETARY VIA AS AN OLD THE
MEMBERS OF THIS COMMITTEE TO
ENSURE THAT WE PUT OUR BEST
FOOT FORWARD. FOR A VERY
VULNERABLE POPULOUS. THANK YOU
SECRETARY KELLY- COMMITTEE
MEMBERS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO
IS SINCE HE HAS LIMITED TIME
AND MUST LEAVE AT TEN. I WOULD
LIKE TO DIRECT SOME QUESTIONS
IN BEFORE RETURNED OTHER
PANELISTS BEFORE WE DIRECTOR
QUESTIONS TO- THE REST THE
PANELISTS. AND I WOULD LIKE TO
START WITH ONE. TE DOCTOR
GOLLY IN THE NOON BRIEFINGS
WITH THE GOVERNOR YOU ENTER THE
GOVERNOR HAVE POINTED MANY
TIMES TO OCCUR. CAN YOU USE
THAT CURVE TO GO TO GUIDE THE
REST OF US IN RELATIONSHIP TO-
HOW TO FIND THROUGHOUT THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. WAS SUCH
CURVE ANALYSIS DONE FOR CDC OUR
FACILITIES. AND IF AND IF IT
HASN'T BEEN IF IT WASN'T IN THE
PAST ARE YOU DOING ONE NOW. IT
HAS IT HAS NOT BEEN DONE AND
IMPLORED AID- MANY OF THOSE
MODELS AND CURBS REQUIRE US TO
HAVE ACCURATE MASON ABOUT THE
LEVEL OF IN FACT TO SPREAD.
WHAT WE TALK ABOUT IS THE ARE A
FACTOR AND WE CAN CERTAINLY
CREATE THAT AND HAVE AT LEAST
INTERNAL CONVERSATIONS AROUND
HOW TO CREATE THAT NOT JUST
SYSTEM WIDE BUT IT WOULD BE
NEEDED TO WORK HER ACROSS ANY
FACILITY AND WHAT IT WOULD
REQUIRE US TO DO. IS BOTH
UNDERSTAND THE LEVEL OF- SORT
OF- HOW CLOSE IN MAKES ARE TO
ONE ANOTHER OBVIOUSLY THE LEVEL
OF SO PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT AND PHYSICAL DISTANCE
SEEN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
BECAUSE ALL OF THOSE ELEMENTS
GOING. DESIGNING CURVES IT IS
JACK CREATED FOR LARGE
COMMUNITY IS WHERE THERE IS
GENERAL FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT AND
MIXING- AND TAKES INTO ACCOUNT
SOME OF THE NON PHARMACEUTICAL
INTERVENTIONS THAT WE'VE BEEN
DISCUSSING INCLUDING BASED
COVERINGS. AND NINETY FIVES AND
OTHERP. B. AS WELL AS PHYSICAL
DISTANCING I THINK THE
IMPORTANT ISSUE TIME NOW THAT
AS A FIVE ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT EFFORTS IS MAKING
SURE THAT OUR COLLABORATIVE
PLAN FOR TESTING AND SECRETARY
DHEAS I KNOW IS WORKING HARD
ALONG WITH OUR OUR TEAMS. TO
ENSURE THAT THAT TESTING IS
AVAILABLE TO STOP THE RECEIVER
TO MAKING SURE THAT IS
AVAILABLE TO ALL INMATES WILL
BE EXACTLY THE TYPE OF
INFORMATION AND THAT TEST
POSITIVITY REPEAT THAT WILL
ALLOW US TO BUILD THOSE MODELS
FOR ALL OF US THANK YOU DOCTOR.
I HAVE TO SAY THOUGH I'D DO NOT
FEEL THAT TO SATISFACTORY
ANSWER IN THAT. THIS IS A-
POPULATION THAT'S IN CUSTODY
AND THE PEOPLE THAT DO WITH
THEM OR STAFF OF THE STATE SO
AND THIS IS A POPULATION THAT
WE CONTROL. THE TEMPO THE STAFF
IN IT AND THE PEOPLE IN SO. IF
YOU WERE IN THE TESTING COULD
HAVE BEEN DONE THE- IN COULD
HAVE BEEN MANDATED THE WEARING
OF MASKS COULD HAVE BEEN
MANDATED ALL OF THE THINGS THAT.
THAT ARE COUNTIES ARE TELLING
THE REST OF US THIS IS EIGHT
EIGHTY. AN ENTITY THAT IS EVEN
MORE. CONDUCIVE TO SUCH THINGS
JUST BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF
THE CONTROL WE HAVE OVER THE
INDIVIDUALS- SO IT'S- I DON'T
FEEL VERY SATISFIED WITH THE
ANSWER AND I WOULD SAY THAT TO
BOTH CDC ARE IN THE
ADMINISTRATION. BY STARTED
RAISING THE QUESTION OF TESTING
BACK IN EARLY APRIL AND I KNOW
THAT CALIFORNIA DID NOT HAVE
ADEQUATE ACCESS TO PASS BUT AS
WE WATCH THE OUTBREAK IN
NURSING HOMES AND WE KNEW THAT
AND WE BEGAN TO NOTICE NOT
NOTICE BUT LEARN THE- SPREAD BY
PEOPLE THAT WERE NOT
SYMPTOMATIC. THIS TESTING
REALLY REALLY WHAT'S NECESSARY
IN THIS LARGEST CONCORD
FACILITY AND APOLOGIES I SHOULD
STOP EXPRESSING FRUSTRATION AND
LET AMONG EIGHT. MEMBERS SO AT
QUICK. SENATOR MORAL SENATOR
MAY I JUST- YES I MEANT FOR ONE
BRIEF COMMENT I WANT TO MAKE
SURE TO SEPARATE OUT THE ANSWER
AROUND THE MODELING OKAY WHICH
IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD AND
CAN BE DONE AND EVER. BILL IN
ALL OF THE AND- MEN'S I THINK I
REALLY DO WANT TO EMPHASIZE
THAT THE- THE PLAN AROUND
TESTING AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS
AROUND TESTING OR ONES THAT
HAVE BEEN MADE WE'VE BEEN
PARTNERING ON INSURING THAT
THOSE- THOSE TESTS YEAH DON
SCALE AND SECRETARY DE HAS
MENTIONED- A SECURE IN NUMBER
OF TASKS. THAT ENOUGH IS THERE
MORE TO DO ABSOLUTELY I AM THE
FIRST TO SAY THAT THE GLOBAL
TESTING CHALLENGE IN CALIFORNIA.
WAS ARE YOU KNOW REALLY
MULTIPLE FACTORS BUT AT THE END
OF THE DAY I TAKE THEM WE TAKE
A SERIOUS RESPONSIBILITY TO
STARTING NOW WITH NOT ENOUGH
TESTING NOT JUST IN OUR
CONGREGATE CARE SETTINGS OF
THOSE THAT ARE RUN BY THE STATE
BUT- WHY. AND TODAY. WE REALLY
REYES STOP START FROM JUST
DAY BACK IN APRIL TWO TODAY-
ACHIEVED OVER A HUNDRED
THOUSAND TESTS ON SOME DAYS.
THINGS TO ME AND THAT'S IT ALL
OF YOU IS TESTING IS. AND MANY
OF OUR FACILITIES AND ITS
RAMPING UP SO THAT SHOULD
BECOME SOMETHING THAT ALLOWS US
MORE INTELLIGENCE INTO THE
SITUATIONS IN THE FACILITIES
ALLOWS US TO PLAN BETTER THERE
IS NO DISPUTE BUT MORE COULD BE
AND SHOULD BE DONE. SO I WOULD
HESITATE TO LEAVE THE COMMITTEE
WITH THE IMPRESSION THAT I OR
ANY OF US BELIEVE THAT THE-
RESPONSE HAS BEEN SATISFACTORY
AND THAT MORE SHOULD AND CAN BE.
THANK YOU CENTER MORE BLACK
THANK THANK YOU MAY TURN THANK
YOU DOCTOR GOLLY FOR- DEALING
WITH THIS CRISIS MANAGEMENT-
SITUATION. WE'RE DEALING WITH
CONSTITUENTS AND THEY APPEAR TO
WILL- PERCEIVE AND THEY'RE
OBSERVING. THAT WERE NEGLECTING
NURSING HOMES IN PRISONS. AND
ALL THEY SEE IS BEING TOLD THE
CLOSE BEACHES AND RENTAL HAS
SAID ARE USED SO WE'RE- TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO
COMMUNICATE TO OUR
CONSTITUENTS. AND HOW CAN I
BEST TELL THEM HOW YOU SELECT
PRIORITIES. DOCTOR GROWING YOUR
MUTED AGAIN. WE STILL CAN'T
HEAR YOU. OKAY NOW I ARE YOU
HERE ON ME TO GO AHEAD CAN YOU
HEAR US NOW YES YES SEEMS LIKE
EACH TIME WE HAVE TO ON MUTE SO
YEAH RIGHT TO BE QUICKER DOING
THAT- I THINK IT'S A VERY
IMPORTANT QUESTION AND THE
ISSUING CONGREGATE CARE
FACILITIES IS- CLEARLY THE
FRONT DOOR BY IS WHERE THE
INFECTION COMES AND- AND BASED
ON THE LEVEL OF MAKE SCENE
BETWEEN STAFF AND RESIDENTS
WHETHER THOSE ARE IN MAY TO
RESIDENTS IN A SKILLED NURSING
FACILITY. WE BEGIN TO SEE A
VERY RAPID SPREAD RATE SO OUR
NUMBER ONE STRATEGY IS TO
ENSURE THAT IN ANY CONGREGATE
CARE FACILITY THAT WE PREVENT
INFECTION COME COMING IN THE
FRONT DOOR I WILL SAY SENATOR
MORE LIKE THAT WE HAVE HAD A
NUMBER OF SUCCESS STORIES
WITHIN AND SOME OF THE
CONGREGATE CARE FACILITIES
WHERE AND WE MIGHT EVEN AT A
LARGER RATE. IN THAT SETTING
BUT HAVE BEAT THROUGH SOME VERY
FULL TRIED AND TRUE FRANKLY
INFECTION CONTROL STRATEGIES
AND ABLE TO SEPARATE STAFF.
EIGHT RESIDENTS ARE IN MAY. AND
ALLOW YOU KNOW HOPEFULLY
WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT
CONSEQUENCE. IN TERMS OF
ILLNESS IN DOUBT- THE OUTBREAK
TO SETTLE DOWN AND THEN
INSTITUTE. SERIAL TESTING AND
SURVEILLANCE TESTING TO PROTECT
FURTHER OUTBREAKS WE'VE DONE
THOUGH IN A NUMBER OF
FACILITIES NOT JUST IN THE
SKILLED NURSING SETTING BUT
ASSISTED LIVING SETTING I KNOW-
SECRETARY TIAS HAS SIMILAR
STORIES SO IT CAN CERTAINLY BE
DONE AND HAS BEEN DONE I WOULD
SAY THAT PART OF WHAT WE SEE
ABSOLUTELY YEARS AS COMMUNITY
SPREADING INCREASES. SO THE
CURRENT WAVE OF INCREASED CASES
ACROSS OUR COMMUNITIES ARE LOW
ARE- EARLY INDICATORS OF THE
SPREAD THAT WE WILL AGAIN SEE
IN SOME OF OUR CONGREGATE CARE
FACILITY. SO WITH THIS INCREASE
AND COMMUNITY SPREAD WE HAVE
AND WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE
OUR OWN VIGILANCE AND SOME OF
THOSE CONGREGATE CARE
FACILITIES THE OTHER POINT OF
OUR IMPORTANCE IS OUR
CONGREGATE CARE FACILITIES
WHETHER THEIR JAILS AND PRISONS
FOR NURSING HOMES OR OTHER
SETTING. TO HAVE SOME OF OUR
MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS
HEALTH. THE NUMBER OF MORE IS
AND HAND UP MEDICAL WITHIN. IN
THE JUSTICE SYSTEM WHETHER AT
THE LOCAL LEVEL AT THE STATE
LEVEL IS EXTREMELY HIGH
COMPARED TO OUR- COMMUNITIES-
ARE ARE- I'M NOT. IN CONGREGATE
SETTING COMMUNITIES AND THAT
DOES. PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE TO
THE LEVEL OF VULNERABILITY
AROUND KOBE NINETEEN WE
CONTINUE TO REFINE OUR
UNDERSTANDING OF WHICH
UNDERLYING CONDITIONS LEND
THEMSELVES TO THE WORST
OUTCOMES THE CDC AND PRACTICED
UPDATED OVER THE WEEKEND THE
LIST OF TIERED. CONDITIONS THAT
SEEM TO HAVE THE HIGHEST RISK
OF BAD OUTCOMES WITH PREVENT
NINETEEN AND THE STATE LOOKS AT
THAT AND UPDATES OUR OWN
GUIDANCE SUPPORT. THANK YOU
DOCTOR GO JUST TWO QUICK
QUESTION SINCE WE DON'T HAVE
ANY BACKGROUND MATERIALS FOR
THIS THIS HEARING- THERE ARE
TWO THINGS I'D LIKE TO. I
UNDERSTAND OR OR HAVE SOME.
DATA PROVIDED ONE IS WHAT IS
THE FLU- STATISTICS SO HOW MANY
DEATHS DO WE SEE IN PRISONS
YEAR OVER YEAR- SO DO WE HAVE
ANYTHING THAT'S ABNORMAL OR
ABOVE THAT THE TREND. AND THE
SECOND IS HOW HOW'S CALIFORNIA
IT'S PRISON SYSTEM- DOING
COMPARED TO THE OTHER FORTY
NINE STATES ARE ARE- PER CAPITA
NUMBERS SIMILAR ABOVE OR BELOW-
SO IF YOU HAVE THAT INFORMATION
NOW THAT BE GREAT BUT OTHER
OTHERWISE I'D I'D LIKE TO. SEE
A JUST THE- ELITE ANALYZE HOW
WE'RE DOING- YEAR OVER YEAR AND
STATE BY STATE THANK YOU. YEAH
WE DON'T I DON'T HAVE IT TODAY
BUT WILL WORK WITH A CD PH AS
WELL AS OUR OTHER COLLEAGUES ON
THIS PANEL TO GET YOU THAT
INFORMATION SO. THANK YOU THANK
YOU MADAM CHAIR WELCOME AND ARE
MORE LIKE A DOCTOR GOING FOR
YOU ARE NO LONGER. ABLE STAY
WITH US I HAVE A QUESTION. ON
THE COURTS PUT OUR PRISONS
UNDER RECEIVERSHIP WE HAVE A
RECEIVER NOW FOR THAT HEALTH.
BUT THAT RECEIVERS ALSO OVER
TIME TURNED CERTAIN FACILITIES
ABOUT HALF THE FACILITIES BACK
OVER TO SEE THE SHORE SO IT'S
MY UNDERSTANDING IN THAT
PROCESS THAT HALF ABOUT HALF
THE FACILITIES ARE STILL UNDER
THE RECEIVER AND ANOTHER HALF
OR NOT. NOW THE RECEIVER WHEN
WE HEAR FROM IN MAY INDEED THE
STORE'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
WHOLE SYSTEM I DON'T KNOW. BUT
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WE ARE A-
DEBT THIS IS OF OBVIOUSLY A
SYSTEM WIDE PROBLEM. AND THAT
IT NEEDS COMPETENT PUBLIC
HEALTH MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS
WHETHER EPIDEMIOLOGISTS OR
OTHERS TO BE CALLING THE SHOTS
AS TO WHAT HAPPENS AND
DEVELOPING A PLAN SO I'D LIKE
TO KNOW FROM. THE DEPARTMENT OF
VOTE OF HER. PERSON ALL WILL BE
DOES THE- TO OVERSEE. THIS WHAT
HOW WE RESPOND TO THIS OUTBREAK
AND CONTAINING IT AND ALL TO
REDUCING THE NUMBER OF DEATHS.
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION I'M
GOING TO LET SUSAN FINALE
ANSWER MOST OF THAT QUESTION
BUT I WILL SAY THAT SECRETARY
DHEAS MENTIONED OUR HOT
ACTIVATION OF THE INCIDENT
COMMAND TEAM WHICH WILL
INCLUDE. EXTRA CHEESE AT THE
HIGHEST LEVEL FOR AROUND-
EPIDEMIOLOGY AND TRACKING THE
DISEASE INFECTION CONTROL AND
THOSE SUPPORTS ARE AVAILABLE
AND- COMING TO BEAR ON THAT
TEAM. THAT INCIDENT CAME AREN'T
ONLY FOR SAN QUENTIN OR FOR THE
ENTIRE SYSTEM. BASS AND
MICHELLE INCIDENT. TEAM IS
FORCING QUENTIN BUT I KNOW
SECRETARY DS'S SHARED- I'LL
PLAN ENVISIONED FOR EXTENDING
MAD AND WE ARE READY TO PARTNER
AND PROVIDE THE RESOURCES THAT
WE CAN IN NEED SO THE RESPONSES
ADEQUATE I THINK WE AS A AGENCY
ARE CONTINUE TO STAND READY. TO
PROVIDE BOTH GUIDANCE AND
ASSISTANCE IN ANY WAY THAT WE
CAN- AND- IF IT REQUIRES ALSO
SELLS TO BRING ON ADDITIONAL
STAFF. WILL DO WHAT WE CAN
EXPEDIENCY AND TO DO THAT
BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND GRAVITY
OF THE SITUATION AS I'VE SAID
IN OTHER PRESS CONFERENCES AND
OTHER HEARING. THERE IS A LIVE
VIRUS THEY GO. IN ORDERS FROM
ZERO SIXTY VERY QUICKLY WE SEE
THAT BY THE TIME YOU ACTUALLY
HAVE A CHANCE TO TEST OF
EVERYONE THAT A NUMBER OF
PEOPLE ARE INFECTED AND THAT WE
HAVE TO DO WHAT I STARTED THIS-
SORT OF MY BRIEF COMMENTS WITH
IN TERMS OF SEPARATING OUT
THOSE WHO ARE IN GOOD IN THOSE
WHO ARE NOT IN CONTINUING THE
TAP SO WE READY TO CAN YOU. SEE
FOR A SECOND D. AS AND THE
RECEIVER IN ANY WAY THAT- IT IS
NEEDED AND OF COURSE TO ADD OUR
EXPERTISE THROUGH PROVIDING
GUIDANCE AND THEN ON BLOOM WAY.
ISSUED A CHANCE TO. SOME BRIEF
COMMENTS AND IF THERE ARE
FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME- I CAN
BE REACHED DIRECTLY OR- THROUGH
THROUGH STAFF AND I'D BE-
HONORED TO PROVIDE AS MUCH
INFORMATION AS I CAN. DOWN THE
ROAD THNK YOU THANK YOU FOR
PARTICIPATING IN GIVING
PROVIDING US THE INFORMATION
YOU HAVE AND I'M SURE WE WILL
HAVE. ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS-
WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO NOW MEMBERS
IS TURNED TO SEASON FINALE. AND
THEN WE WILL HEAR FROM THE
RECEIVER AND THEN WE CAN OPEN
QUESTIONS TO ALL TO. THE DEPUTY
DIRECTOR OF- POLISHING PROGRAMS
THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH
THE RECEIVER AND ALSO THE
SECRETARY DS. SO LET'S NOW TO
ON SEASON FINALE. MORNING
BURNED BY US TO THE STATEMENT
HERE MY NAME SYSTEM LA NINE THE
CHEAP. YEAH FOR QUALITY PROGRAM.
IN THE DEPARTMENT HEALTH. AND
WAS ASKED TO GIVE A LITTLE
CONTACTS NATIONALLY THERE ARE
TWO POINT SIX MILLION CORRECT
CASES. AND TOTAL DEATHS OF A
HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX THOUSAND
SEVEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY NINE.
WE NOW IN CALIFORNIA HAVE OVER
TWO HUNDRED TWENTY TWO THOUSAND
CASES- WITH A NEW CASES
CLIMBING EACH DAY- AND
RESULTING IN. A TOTAL OF. IN
THE LAST TWENTY HOURS A NUMBER
THAT RELATING HE SAYS INCREASED
BY TWO POINT 9% AND DEATHS
INCREASED FIVE POINT 7% SO
CLEARLY A PROBLEM THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA. CALIFORNIA'S
HOSPITALIZATIONS HAVE
INCREASED- YESTERDAY BY THREE
HUNDRED CASES FOR A OTAL OF-
HOUSING HOSPITALIZATIONS OF
FIVE THOUSAND SEVENTY SEVEN
THAT'S LIKE AN INCREASE OF SIX
POINT THREE PERCENT. AT THE
BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY MOST
CASES ALCOVE IN NINETEEN WERE
IN RETURNING TRAVELERS THE
FIRST RECOGNIZED ME
TRANSMISSION WAS IDENTIFIED IN
LATE FEBRUARY. EARLY MARCH CASE
NUMBERS BEGAN TO INCREASE AND
ON MARCH FOURTH AND THE
GOVERNOR DECLARED A STATE OF
EMERGENCY IN CALIFORNIA AS THE
NUMBER OF CASES BEGAN TO
INCREASE- WE AND FROM THE
GOVERNOR AND PLAN AND THAT ON.
A STATE WIDE STAND HOME ORDER
PARKS NINETEEN. DURING THE
INITIAL PHASE OF THE PANDEMIC
TESTING WAS EXTREMELY LIMIT AT
INITIALLY TESTING WAS ONLY
AVAILABLE AT THE CDC CASTING
BECAME AVAILABLE IN PUBLIC
HEALTH LAB IN LATE. WARY AND
SUCCEED WE WAS AVAILABLE ON
COMMERCIAL LABORATORIES TESTING
PRIORITIZE. FOR ONLY 7% AND

MISTER THANK YOU FINALITY- I
WILL NOTE THAT THE VISITATION
STOCKED CDC ARE ENDED
VISITATION ALL FACILITIES.
BEFORE APRIL FIRST
ADDITIONALLY- AND MANY OF THE
THINGS YOU DESCRIBED WERE AT
LEAST BY THE DEPARTMENT'S OWN.
THE INDICATIONS IMPLEMENTED AND
YET MANY WERE NOT BUT- YET WE
HAVE THE SITUATION WE HAVE
TODAY O HOW THOROUGHLY THESE
WERE IMPLEMENTED BUT I WOULD
SAY THAT THE MOVEMENT OF THE
ADMINISTRATION THEMSELVES STOP
THE TRANSFER FROM COUNTY JAILS
THE VISITATION WAS STOPPED ALL
OF THOSE THINGS WERE DONE. WAY
BUT LET'S NOW- TURNED TO CLARK
KELSO WHO IS THE FEDERAL
RECEIVER FOR. THE OUR STATE
PRISON SYSTEM CALIFORNIA
CORRECTIONAL HEALTH CARE
SERVICES MISTER COLE SO HE-
GOOD MORNING MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS HI MY NAME IS CLARK
KELSO I SERVICE THE FEDERAL
RECEIVER RESPONSIBLE FOR
MEDICAL CARE WITHIN CDC ARE. I
WAS APPOINTED TO THIS POSITION
BY THE FEDERAL COURT IN THE
CLASS ACTION LITIGATION PALMER
SCHWARZENEGGER IN TWO THOUSAND
AND EIGHT. AND WAS CHARGED WITH
BRINGING THE LEVEL OF MEDICAL
CARE UP TO CONSTITUTIONAL
SANDERS AS RECEIVER I EXERCISE
ALL THE POWERS THAT SECRETARY
DIAZ POSSESSES BUT WITH RESPECT
ONLY TO THE DEPARTMENTS MEDICAL
CARE SYSTEM. THAT'S WHY BOTH
SECRETARY DIAZ AND I ARE HERE
TODAY. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF
PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE AN
IMPROVING CDC ARE THE OVERALL
HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. WHICH HAS
CONTRIBUTED TO OUR CAPACITY TO
RESPOND TO THE COVERT RISKS.
AND I HAVE DELEGATED ON A BACK
TO THE STATE- MANAGERS YOU
NOTED THE MANAGEMENT OF
NINETEEN OF ITS THIRTY FIVE
INSTITUTIONS. WHICH IS A
PRESUMPTIVE INDICATOR THAT
THOSE INSTITUTIONS ARE
DELIVERING A CONSTITUTIONAL
LEVEL OF CARE. CODE OF COURSE
IS A NEW AND SYSTEM WIDE
CHALLENGE AND SO I WORKED MOST
CLOSELY WITH SECRETARY DIAZ AND
UNDERSECRETARY FOR HEALTHCARE
DIANA SO SEAN COVERT MATTERS.
FACED WITH THE CRISIS OF CODE
OUR COLLABORATION HAS NEVER
BEEN CLOSER. I'D LIKE TO GIVE
AN OVERVIEW OF OUR PLANNING AND
EFFORTS TO COMBAT COBRE
NINETEEN OVER THE LAST FOUR
MONTHS. SOME COMMENTS ON THE
CRISIS AT SAN QUENTIN AND A
BRIEF STATUS REPORT AND THEN OF
COURSE THE QUESTION. PLANNING
AS YOU. BEGAN A LATE. BOB AS
YOU KNOW CDC ARE ESSENTIALLY
OPERATES THE LARGEST CONGREGATE
LIVING FACILITIES IN THE STATE
WHICH ARE PERFECT FACILITIES
FOR THE SPREAD OF COMMUNICABLE
DISEASE. SO ON MARCH ELEVENTH A
CBC OURS PUBLIC HEALTH BRANCH
ISSUED ITS FIRST CODE GUIDANCE
TO THE INSTITUTIONS- ARE BASED
IN PART IN INCLUDING LINKS TO
GUIDANCE PUBLISHED BY THE
CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
HEALTH THE CALIFORNIA
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH
ADMINISTRATION. AND WE BEGAN
POSTING THAT GUIDANCE ON OUR
INTRANET AGES. WE ALSO RELEASED
OUR PUBLIC FACING INTERNET
SITES THAT CONTAIN THE COBRA
TRACTOR FOR THE PRISONS. A CDC
OURS CO WOULD PREPAREDNESS BABY
IS AND HEALTH CARE AS INTERIM
GUIDANCE. OF THE INTERIM
GUIDANCE PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT
FOR OUR INSTITUTIONS BECAUSE IT
HAS THE BASICS TO HELP COMBAT
ON OUR- INCLUDING THE- ON TEST
I SAW. CONTACT TRACING
QUARANTINE MONITORING HOSPITAL
REFERRALS- EVERYTHING THE
DOCTOR GALLEY HAS MENTIONED.
BUT TWO DAYS LATER ON MARCH
THIRTEENTH SECRETARY IDEAS AND
I SENT OUT OUR FIRST
COMMUNICATION DAHLE CDC OUR
EMPLOYEES TO BE IN REORIENTING
EVERYONE TO THE CHALLENGES THAT
WERE CUT OFF. AND OUR FIRST
CASE OCCURRED ONLY ONE WEEK
LATER ON MARCH TWENTIETH FC I
AM THE CALIFORNIA INSTITUTION
FOR MEN. NO DURING MARCH AND
APRIL AS YOU'VE HEARD CD'S YARD
TOOK A SERIES OF IMPORTANT
STATUS- INCLUDING ESTABLISHING
AN OVERALL COOPER NINETEEN
COORDINATOR STANDING UP THE
DEPARTMENT'S OPERATIONS CENTER.
SENDING OUT GUIDANCE FOR
FACILITY ENTRANCE SCREENING FOR
ALL STAFF. IMPLEMENTING IT
IMPLEMENTING AN ACCELERATED
RELEASE PROGRAMS. IMPOSING
SEVERE RESTRICTIONS ON IN
TROUGH FACILITY MOVEMENT
SHUTTING DOWN VISITATIONS
HOLDING ALL NONESSENTIAL
TRANSFERS BETWEEN PRISONS. AND
THE CLOSING CDC ARE TO INTAKE.
THE NUMBER OF CASES THAT SEE I
AM BROUGH SLOWLY DURING APRIL-
BUT CASES SPIKE ON MAY FIRST
THE JUMPING FROM NINETY ONE TO
TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN. AND
THE NUMBER OF CASES CONTINUED
CLIMBING REACHING A HIGH OF
FOUR HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE
BY MAY FIFTEENTH. AS A RESULT
DURING THE FIRST THREE WEEKS OF
MAY- WE CONSIDERED WHETHER WE
COULD SAFELY MOVE A LARGE
NUMBER OF THOSE. VULNERABLE
PATIENTS THE NEGATIVES TO
ANOTHER FACILITY. WITH THE GOAL
OF SAVING LIVES. THE DECISION
INVOLVED THE BALANCING OF THE
GROWING RISKS TO THE SEA I AM
PATIENTS AGAINST THE RISKS OF
ANY LARGE SCALE TRANSFER. WE
WERE ALSO CONSIDERING IN MAY
HOW THE DEPARTMENT GOOD SLOWLY
BEGAN RE OPENING AND
REESTABLISHING SOME OF ITS
NORMAL PROCESS. AND ON MAY
TWENTY TWO A MEMORANDUM WAS
DISTRIBUTED TO THE FIELD
ANNOUNCING CDC OURS PHASED
APPROACH WHICH INCLUDED A SLOW
RE OPENING OF INTAKE. AND THE
RESUMPTION OF IN OUR
INSTITUTION WITH. ATTACHED TO
THAT MEMORANDUM WAS A COLD
SCREENING AND TESTING MATRIX
FOR PATIENT MOVEMENT. OF THE
NATION THE MATRIX PROVIDED
AMONG OTHER THINGS BUT A
TRANSFERRING PATIENT SHOULD
RECEIVE A CODE TEST BUT A
PATIENT COULD TRANSFER ONLY IF
THE TEST WAS NEGATIVE AND THE
NO INDIVIDUAL SHOULD BE
TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER
INSTITUTION PRIOR TO THE
AVAILABILITY OF THEIR TEST
RESULTS. ON OR ABOUT MAY TWENTY
THIRD WE DECIDED THAT THE
EXPANDING CASES AB CIM. POSED
AN UNACCEPTABLE RISK TO THE
LAST REMAINING DORM. WHERE
HUNDREDS OF CODE HIGH RISK
PATIENTS WERE HOUSE. AND THE
DECISION WAS TAKEN TO MOVE
THOSE PATIENTS OUT OF SEE I AM.
SOMEONE MOVED TO CORCORAN AND
THE REMAINDER WERE MOVED TO SAM
QUITE. BECAUSE THE MATRIX- DID
NOT SPECIFY THAT THE REQUIRED
NEGATIVE COPE WITH TEST HAD TO
OCCUR WITHIN ONLY A SHORT
PERIOD OF TIME IN RELATION TO
THE TRANSFER SUCH AS SEVEN DAYS
OR LESS. WHEN THE MOVES WERE
MADE OUT OF SEE I AM ALTHOUGH
ALL PATIENTS HAD NEGATIVE TEST
RESULT. IN MANY CASES THE TESTS
WERE TWO THREE AND IN SOME
CASES FOUR WEEKS ALL. FAR TOO
OLD TO BE A RELIABLE INDICATOR
FOR THE ABSENCE OF CO. AS IT
TURNED OUT. TO OF THE SIXTY SIX
PATIENTS MOVED TO CORCORAN
TESTED POSITIVE WHEN THEY WERE
RETESTED AT CORCORAN. S. ONE
NEGATIVE COCHRAN HAS BEEN
MANAGING THEIR OUTBREAK PRETTY
WELL SO FAR THEY HAVE A HUNDRED
AND TWENTY FIVE CASES ACTIVE
THIRTY CASES HAVE ALREADY
RESOLVED AND THEY HAVE HAD
FORTY SEVEN OF THE ONE HUNDRED
TWENTY FIVE CASES IN THE LAST
FOURTEEN DAYS. THEY'VE SENT OUT
OF THE HOSPITAL ONLY ONE
PATIENT. WHEN OF COURSE BEEN A
VERY DIFFERENT STORY AND DEALS
IN CRISIS. UPON RETESTING OF
SAN QUENTIN TWENTY FIVE OUT OF
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TO
TRANSFER RES TESTED POSITIVE.
AND SAN QUENTIN ALMOST
IMMEDIATELY FELL BEHIND THE BAR
STE. ON JUNE TWELVE I ASKED THE
DOCTOR RE WILLIAMS FROM THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAN
FRANCISCO. AND THE DOCTOR STEP
RETURNS THE FROM THE UC
BERKELEY SCHOOL OF PUBLIC
HEALTH. TO CONDUCT AN IN PERSON
ASSESSMENT. THEY VISITED THE
PRISON THE NEXT DAY ON JUNE
THIRTEENTH AND REPORTED SERIOUS
RESOURCE DEFICIENCIES ON THE
PHYSICAL PLANT. IN COVERT
SUPPORT STAFFING INDIAN TEST.
THE FOLLOWING DEFICIENCIES MOST
OF WHICH WERE IDENTIFIED IN
THEIR REPORT. REALLY
CONTRIBUTED TO THE RAPID SPREAD
OF CODE BUT IT STANDPOINT.
FIRST DEPRIVED YOUR CELL BLOCKS
LIKE GOOD VENTILATION AND I
HAVE A VIRUS SPREAD
CHARACTERISTICS SIMILAR TO A
DORMITORY SETTING. EVEN THOUGH
IN MAYES OUR HOUSE IN CELLS AND
ALSO. THE VIRUS SPREAD VERY
RAPIDLY IN THOSE CONDITIONS.
SECOND WE HAD TESTING TURN
AROUND TIME PROBLEMS. NO WE DID
NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND OTHER
INSTITUTIONS WERE WE
SUCCESSFULLY CONTAINED THE
VIRUS BUT WE HAVE THIS PROBLEM
AT SAN QUENTIN. OUR VENDOR IS
AGREED TO PUT OUR TEST AT A
HIGHER PRIORITY WITHIN THEIR
TESTING SYSTEM. AND WE'RE
WORKING WITH THE BIO OF IN SAN
FRANCISCO TO PERFORM SOME OF
OUR TEST. WE HAVE COMPLETED THE
FIRST ROUND OF TESTING OF ALL
PATIENTS ON SAN QUENTIN WHO
CONSENTED TO BE TEST. THIRD
MANY PATIENTS AT SAN QUENTIN
REFUSED BEING TESTED OR EVEN
BEING ASSESSED FOR SYMPTOMS.
THE FOR EXAMPLE BETWEEN TWO AND
THREE HUNDRED PATIENTS IN EAST
BLOC ARE REFUSING TEST AND
ASSESS. AND THAT MAKES IT
DIFFICULT TO MANAGE THE
OUTBREAK. YESTERDAY THE PRISON
LAW OFFICE OFFERED TO ASSIST US
IN WORKING WITH THEIR CLIENTS
ON THIS ISSUE. AN OFFER WE OF
COURSE HAVE ACCEPTED AND I'M
GRATEFUL TO THE PRISON LAW
OFFICE FOR THEIR HELP IN THIS
REGARD. FOURTH AND FINALLY THE
PHYSICAL LAYOUT AT SAN QUENTIN
MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO MANAGE
THE POPULATION DURING AN
OUTBREAK. IT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT
TO SEPARATE PATIENTS
APPROPRIATELY IN THE
INSTITUTION NEEDS ADDITIONAL
BEDS SPECS. WE HAVE HOPE LAST
WEEK BUT ONE WAY OF INCREASING
THE AVAILABLE SPACE WAS TO MOVE
ONE HUNDRED INMATES FROM THE
SAN QUENTIN GYMNASIUM. TO AN
EMPTY WEARING OF HOUSING UP
NORTH KERN STATE PRISON. TO
ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THAT
TRANSPORT. WE HAD ADOPTED A
MUCH STRICTER TRANSPORT TESTING
POLICY. SO THAT ALL ONE HUNDRED
PATIENTS HAD TO RECEIVE A
NEGATIVE COBRA TEST NO MORE
THAN FORTY EIGHT HOURS PRIOR TO
THE TRANSPORT. ON SATURDAY WE
LEARN THE TWO OF THOSE PATIENTS
HAVE RECEIVED POSITIVE TEST
RESULTS AND WE CANCEL THE
ENTIRE MOVIE. AS OF THIS
MORNING TEN POINT REPORTS SO
I'LL LET ONE HUNDRED TWENTY
SEVEN ACTIVE CASES WITH EIGHT
HUNDRED AND NINE OF THOSE
OCCURRING IN THE LAST FOURTEEN
DAYS. WE HAVE HAD ONE DEATH OF
A PATIENT WHO TESTED POSITIVE
FOR COVERT NINETEEN. WE HAVE
FORTY TWO HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS
ARE OUT OF STANDPOINT. I
BELIEVE DURING THE WEEK OF JULY
SIX IT IS LIKELY THAT WE SHOULD
BE SEEING A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER
OF THE POSITIVE CASES AT SAN
QUENTIN PERHAPS AS MANY AS
THREE HUNDRED. MOVE FROM ACTIVE
TO RESOLVE THE STATUS SINCE WE
KNOW THAT WE HAVE AT LEAST THAT
MANY POSITIVESWHO ARE STILL A
SYMPTOMATIC. OUR TWO BIGGEST
CONCERNS NOW ARE INSUFFICIENT
RESOURCES THAT STAND POINT TO
HANDLE THE ENORMITY OF THE
CRISIS. IN THE CAPACITY OF
LOCAL HOSPITALS TO DEAL WITH
THE FLOW OF SAN QUENTIN
PATIENTS. ADMINISTRATION IS
RESPONDING TO THE RESOURCE
PROBLEM BY DIRECTING CO HELLO
YES TO ESTABLISH UNIFIED
INSTANT COMMAND HELP MANAGE THE
OUTBREAK THAT BEGAN YESTERDAY I
BELIEVE. AND WE ARE REDIRECTING
ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR FROM THE
DIVISION OF ADULT INSTITUTIONS
AND REGIONAL HEALTH CARE EX
EXECUTIVE TO SUPPORT
INSTITUTIONS STAFF IN THE
INCIDENT COMMANDER. THIS WILL
HELP STABILIZE RESPONSE TO THE
OUTBREAK. THE STATE HAS ALSO
FLOWN INTENDS FOR ADDITIONALCLINIC AND HOUSING SPACE AND
CAL OVER YES WILL BE BRINGING
IN A FIELD HOSPITAL TO PROVIDE
MORE BEDS AND HOUSE. WITH
RESPECT TO LOCAL HOSPITAL
CAPACITY WE ARE INFREQUENT
ONGOING CONTACT WITH BAY AREA
HOSPITALS. IN THIS POINT WE ARE
CONFIDENT THE NECESSARY
CAPACITY EXISTS. FOR EXAMPLE
SETON MEDICAL CENTER IN DALY
CITY IS MAKING ITSELF READY TO
ACCEPT AND TO ACCEPT A
SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF OUR
PATIENTS. AND WE HAVE OTHER
ARRANGEMENTS IN PLACE FOR
LONGER HOSPITAL. WE DO MONITOR
THIS ON A DAILY BASIS BECAUSE
WE KNOW THAT HOSPITAL
UTILIZATION CAN CHANGE RAPIDLY
DURING THE PANDA. WE ALSO
APPRECIATE THE MARIN GENERAL
HOSPITAL SAN QUENTIN'S PRIMARY
LOCAL HOSPITAL IS NOT A CELL
HAVE SUFFICIENT RESOURCES FOR
OUR LIKELY NEEDS. AND THEY IN
THE COMMUNITY ARE
UNDERSTANDABLY CONCERNED ABOUT
THEIR ABILITY EVEN IN THEIR
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. TO
STABILIZE PATIENTS BEFORE
TRANSFERRED TO OTHER HOSPITALS.
WILL CONTINUE WORKING WITH
MARIN GENERAL AND IF IT APPEARS
THE MARIN GENERAL CANNOT HANDLE
FLOW ARRANGEMENTS WILL BE MADE
TO TRANSPORT PATIENTS DIRECTLY
TO OTHER HOSPITALS. IT WAS NOT
THE OVERWHELMING MARIN
GENERAL'S RESOURCES. WE ARE
SENSITIVE TO THEIR CONCERT. BUT
ME CLOSE WITH A BRIEF STATUS
REPORT SYSTEM WIDE WE HAVE
TWENTY SIX HUNDRED ACTIVE CASES.
ONLY TWO HUNDRED CASES THAT
HAVE RESOLVED AND TWENTY TWO
DEATHS. THAT GIVES US AN
OVERALL DEATH RATE OF ZERO
POINT 44% WHILE ACKNOWLEDGING
THE STATISTICAL CHALLENGES OF
DIFFERENT POPULATION SIZES AND
FOUNDERS CDC YOURS CRUDE THE
DEATH RATE OF ZERO POINT FOUR
FOUR PERCENT. IS A MAGNITUDE OF
ORDER LESS THAN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA'S GO BUT DEATH RATE
WHICH IS TWO POINT SEVEN
PERCENT. IN THE UNITED STATES
IS OVERALL COOPER DEATH RATE
WHICH IS FOUR POINT 9% BOB
DON'T PUT TOO MUCH RELIANCE ON
THAT COMPARISON UNTIL WE'VE HAD
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
HEALTH. OF THE REFORM A MORE
GRANULAR- BETTER ANALYSIS OF
THE COMPARISON TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE'RE NOT COMPARING APPLES
TO ORANGES. WE HAVE HAD VERY
LARGE OUTBREAKS IN FOR PRISONS
SAN QUENTIN WITH- I'M ALONE
HUNDRED THIRTEEN POSITIVE
STRUCK A WALL OF WITH ONE
THOUSAND AND TWIRL POSITIVES.
AVENUE ALL NINE HUNDRED AND
THIRTY EIGHT POSITIVES AND SEE
I AM EIGHT HUNDRED AND NINETY
SIX POSSIBLE. THE OUTBREAK OF
CHAKRA WALLACH AND HAVING ALL
HAVE MOSTLY ROSE ALL. SEE I AM
pRESOLVED SAN QUENTIN WERE AT
THE BEGINNING. NEXT WE
SUCCESSFULLY MANAGED A MODERATE
OUTBREAK AT- CALIFORNIA
INSTITUTION FOR WOMEN WHICH HAD
AT ONE TIME ONE HUNDRED AND
SIXTY EIGHT TOTAL CASES. BUT
WHICH NOW HAS ALL SIX. ONLY ONE
OF THOSE IN THE LAST EIGHTEEN
DAY. SEE I DO EXPERIENCE ONE
DEATH. A PRISON LANCASTER ALSO
HAD A MODERATE OUTBREAK WITH
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT
POSITIVES ALL OF WHOM HAVE NOW
RESOLVED WITH ZERO CASES NO
LAST FOURTEEN DAYS. WE HAVE
ANOTHER FOR PRISONS WITH
MODERATE OUTBREAKS THAT SO FAR
APPEAR TO HAVE PEAKED WITH
AROUND TWO HUNDRED OR FEWER
TOTAL CASE. FINALLY WE HAVE
FOURTEEN INSTITUTIONS THAT HAVE
EXPERIENCED SMALL OUTBREAKS.
THAT HAVE NOT BLOSSOMED INTO
MODERATE OR LARGE EVENTS AND A
LEVIN FACILITIES WITH NO CODE
CASES AMONG INMATES CURRENTLY
IDENTIFIED. THESE ARE
SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENTS GIVEN
COVE ITS EASE OF ENTERING AND
SPREADING AND CONGREGATE
HOUSING SET. THESE NUMBERS I
THINK DO INDICATE THAT HOPE IT
DOES NOT SPREAD YEAH THROUGHOUT
THE CDC OUR SYSTEM IN AN
UNCONTROLLED TRASH. BUT GIVEN
THE GLOBAL IS GOING TO BE WITH
US FOR QUITE SOME TIME- I SHARE
EVERYONE'S CONCERNED. ABOUT
WHAT WE'VE DONE TO DATE STILL
IS NOT ENOUGH THERE IS MORE
THAT CAN BE DONE. BECAUSE THE
VIRUS HAS PLENTY OF TIME TO
CONTINUE SPREADING THROUGHOUT
THE SYSTEM. RIGHT NOW UNTIL
THINGS TO STABILIZE FURTHER
SYSTEM WIDE SECRETARY DIAZ HAS
CLOSED AND TAKE AGAIN STOP ALL
UNNECESSARY MOVEMENT BETWEEN
INSTITUTIONS. REIMPOSED A
SYSTEM WIDE MODIFIED PROGRAM.
AND ADOPTED A NEW AND
CONTINUING XCELERATED RELEASE
PROGRAM. AND I KNOW THAT HE
SHARES MY VIEW THAT WE WILL NOT
OPEN AND TAKE YOUR STARK
MOVEMENT AGAIN. UNTIL WE HAVE
ASSURED OURSELVES AND OTHERS
ARE ASSURED. IT CAN BE DONE
SAFELY. THANK YOU MEMBERS FOR
YOUR ATTENTION I'LL BE HAPPY TO
TAKE QUESTIONS ALONG WITH THE
REST OF THE PANEL. THANK YOU
MISTER CARROLL SO MEMBERS WE'VE
NOW HEARD FROM THE- PANELISTS
FOR THE FIRST PANEL SO I WILL.
OPEN IT TO QUESTIONS I WOULD
FIRST THOUGH LIKE TO ASK AND
THIS CAN BE SECRETARY DS FOR MR
CALLACE SO. WELL THERE WAS
INDICATION THAT GUIDE YOU KNOW
THERE'S NOW A LIMITED NUMBERS I
JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT BY.
THE DVR'S OWN STATISTICS POSTED
ON YOUR WEBSITE THERE HAVE BEEN
INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS WHO
HAVE TESTED POSITIVE AT TWENTY
FOUR OUT OF THE THIRTY FIVE
FACILITIES THAT'S BUYING YOUR
OWN WEBSITE. NOW I WOULD
SUSPECT THERE COULD BE FAR MORE
THAN NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT IS MY
UNDERSTANDING AND IT SEEMS TO
HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED BY ALL THE
PANELISTS THUS FAR THAT NOT
EVERY INMATE IS TESTED SO SINCE
THERE'S NOT THROW TESTING WE
CAN'T KNOW. BUT ADDITIONALLY.
THERE IS STAFF WHO HAVE TESTED
POSITIVE OUT THIRTY FOUR OUT OF
THIRTY FIVE FACILITIES THE ONLY
FACILITY WHERE STAFF IS NOT
TESTED POSITIVE IN THIS IS ON
CDC OURS WEBSITE THIS YEAR
CONSERVATION CENTER HOW FOR.
ONE COURSE RATED PERSON DID
TEST POSITIVE FOR THE VIRUS SO
THAT WAS THE VIRUS. PRESIDENT
WARS. AT ALL THIRTY FIVE
FACILITIES. AND WHILE THERE MAY
NOT BE ACTIVE CASES AT ALL
FACILITIES SINCE WE ALSO DO NOT
REQUIRE THE TESTING OF THE
STAFF. AND EDITION ONLY STAFF
REPORT ON WHETHER THEY HAVE
COVE IT IS SELF REPORTED I
GUESS THE POINT OF THIS IS.
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO REQUIRE
STAFF TO BE TESTED AND WHAT ARE
WE GOING TO REQUIRE STAFF TO
HAVE TO INFORM THE DEPARTMENT
WHEN THEY ARE POSITIVE AND
SIMILARLY WHEN ARE WE GOING TO
HAVE MORE THOROUGH TESTING. OF
THE INCARCERATED POPULATION IN
EITHER SECRETARY DHEAS OR MR
CALL SO YOU YOU COULD RESPOND
TO. SO CALLED ALL NOT TAKE THIS
THAT TESTING. SO AS FAR AS A
STAFF TESTING GOES. WE ARE
AGGRESSIVELY TRYING TO SEEK
GREATER CONTRACTS TO PROVIDE
GREATER TESTING AT ALL OF OUR
INSTITUTIONS BUT AS SAID
EARLIER IN MY STATEMENT IT IS
BECOMING IT IS DIFFICULT TO.
RECEIVE AND OBTAIN CONTRACTS TO
BE ABLE TO SUFFICIENTLY TEST
ALL STAFF MEMBERS AT ALL
INSTITUTIONS. AND WITH THAT
BECAUSE OF THAT CONCERN I HAVE
LEANED INTO WHAT THE CALIFORNIA
OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES
WITH DIRECTOR WG. JUST TO SEE
IF I CAN GET RESOURCES THAN
ASSISTANCE FROM THE CALIFORNIA
NATIONAL GUARD BUT IN THE
MEANTIME WE HAVE- BEGAN SEEKING
TO TEST AT INSTITUTIONS- WHERE
WE HAVE OUTBREAKS. STAFF ARE
REQUIRED TO LET US KNOW IF WE
IF THEY HAVE TESTED POSITIVE IN
THE COMMUNITY THEY DO LET US
THOUGH THE MAJORITY OF THAT
STAFF POSITIVES ARE REPORTED TO
US BECAUSE THEY HAVE TESTED IN
THE COMMUNITY- AT THEIR OWN
DOCTORS. THE REPORTED BACK- SO
THAT IS IN PLACE THAT IS A
REQUIREMENT OF STUFF BUT THEY
MUST LET US KNOW THAT THEY-
ALSO. MA'AM CHAIR ON THE- SIDE
OF INMATE TEST. YEAH THE THREE
AND APRIL WE'D SIMPLY AS BOBBY
GALLEYS INDICATED WE DIDN'T
HAVE ADEQUATE. WE DIDN'T HAVE
TESTING RESOURCES TO CONDUCT
THE SORT OF TESTING THAT-
WIDESPREAD TESTING THAT WOULD
LET US DO SURVEILLANCE OF HOW
MANY INSTITUTIONS HAD CODE. NOW
WE DID FINALLY- AS TESTING
RESOURCES BECAME MORE GENERALLY
AVAILABLE IN MAY. INSTITUTE A
SURVEILLANCE TESTING PROGRAM
WHERE WE DID NOT TEST ALL
INMATES BECAUSE WE STILL DIDN'T
HAVE THAT MUCH TESTING CAPACITY
BUT WE- BASED ON SOME
STATISTICAL MODEL PREPARED BY
OUR PUBLIC HEALTH OF THE
DIVISION. OF TESTED
STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT
SAMPLES OF THE INMATES EL ALL
INSTITUTIONS. TO SEE IF WE
COULD IDENTIFY WHERE WE HAD OUR
GOAL WOULD PRESENT IN THE
INMATE POPULATION AND WHAT IF
WE FOUND A POSITIVE CASE THEN
WE WOULD FOCUS ATTENTION ON WE
NEED TO TEST EVERYBODY OF THAT
INSTITUTION- TODAY WE HAVE-
ESSENTIALLY TWENTY THOUSAND OR
SO BUT THIRTY THOUSAND OR SO
TESTS AVAILABLE TO US. ON THAT
WE CAN USE A WEEKLY BASIS- SO-
IT IS. IT IS CURRENTLY BEING
EXAMINED HOW WE CAN EXPAND THE
SURVEILLANCE TESTING PROGRAM.
BECAUSE WE DON'T THINK GUARD
SAMPLE SIZE WAS LARGE ENOUGH.
SO THAT WE COULD CATCH UP
ENOUGH PRISONS EARLY ENOUGH TO
PREVENT A LARGER OUTBREAKS SO
WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF NOW
DOING THE SAME THING- SECRETARY
DEALS IS DOING ON THE EMPLOYEE
SIDE. TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW
CAN WE EXPAND THE NUMBER OF
BEEN MADE TO GET TESTED. WE DO
HAVE THE CHALLENGES ARE EVEN
WITH AN EXPANSION OF THAT
PROGRAM. A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER
OF INMATES REFUSING. AND THE IF
WE START SUDDENLY SAYING WE'RE
GOING TO TEST EVERY AND MADE
EVERY SEVEN DAYS I'M QUITE
CONFIDENT THAT WE WILL HAVE A
VERY LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE
REFUSING TO UNDERGO TESTING AT
THAT RATE. AND THAT CERTAINLY
COMPLICATES ANY EFFORTS TO-
IDENTIFY WHERE YOU HAVE. BUT
IT'S NOT AN INSURMOUNTABLE
PROBLEM BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT
YOU DON'T HAVE TO CONSIDER IS
YOU EVALUATE. THE RESULTS
YOU'RE GETTING FROM YOUR
TESTING PROGRAM. SENATE TURN TO
SENATOR MITCHELL NOW I HAVE
MANY MORE QUESTIONS BUT ALLOW
SENATOR MITCHELL GO AHEAD. I
APPRECIATE THAT THAT I'M AT
CHAIR ON JUST I'M GOING TO
HAVE- THREE TWO TO RECEIVER D.
AND WANT TO- EXCUSE ME TO
RECEIVE HER KELSO AND WANT TO
SECRETARY DEUS. START WITH SOME
THE CAL FELL ON. I WAS STRUCK
BY YOUR STATEMENT AT THE
BEGINNING OF YOUR TESTIMONY
WHEN YOU REALLY BASED ON- THE
REALLY THAT THE COURT EQUATED
YOUR POSITION ON CAR QUITE
FRANKLY WITH SECRETARY D. AS IN
TERMS OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
WITH REGARD TO HEALTHCARE
DELIVERY SYSTEM IN THE FIFTH IN
THE PRISONS. AND I APPRECIATE
YOUR ACCOUNT BY DATE- STARTING
MID JUNE OF. WHEN YOU INTERVENE
THAT AND TOOK ACTION WITH
REGARD TO SEND CLINTON. BUT I'M
I'M CURIOUS FROM YOUR
PERSPECTIVE WHAT RESPONSIBILITY
TO YOU DO YOU TAKE. WITH OUR
CURRENT LEVEL OF OUTBREAK
SYSTEM WIDE. THANK YOU SENATOR
MITCHELL- MY RESPONSIBILITY-
FROM THE COURT ORDER- WHEN I
SAID I HAD SECRETARY DIAZ'S
POWERS. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT
THE COURT ORDER SAYS SO I HAVE-
HIS OPERATIONAL
RESPONSIBILITIES. WITH RESPECT
TO CDC ARE AS MEDICAL CARE
SYSTEM. AND THEREFORE I SHARE
ALL OF THE SAME ACCOUNTABILITY
IS ON AS THE SECRETARY. OF THE
DEPARTMENT. SO I'VE BEEN
INVOLVED FROM DAY ONE A LONG
SECRETARY DIAZ AND ON HIS
UNDERSECRETARY FOR HEALTHCARE
PLAN OF SOCIAL. ON ALL CODE
MATTERS I AND I'M ACCOUNTABLE-
EIGHT AND- RESPONSIBLE OF BOTH
FOR THE SUCCESSES. AND FOR THE
FAILURES. THANK YOU FOR THAT I
PREFER THAT. ON SECRETARY- DE
IS. TOP ABOUT THE LACK OF
INFRASTRUCTURE WITH REGARD TO
TESTING AND FORM ONE THREE WHAT
IS YOUR INTERNAL CAPACITY HE
TALKED ABOUT NEEDING TO FIND
THE VENDOR WHO COULD MANAGE
TESTING AND SO I'M WONDERING
WHAT IS YOUR INTERNAL CAPACITY
OF GIVING YOUR ROLE AND GIVEN
THE FACT THAT HEALTH PERSONNEL
ON. ON STILL ON LARGE PART
REPORT TO YOU WHAT'S YOUR
INTERNAL CAPACITY TO RAMP UP
TESTING. FOR PERHAPS A BOWL. ON
THOSE INCARCERATED AS WELL AS-
PERSONNEL OPERATING WITHIN THE
DEPARTMENT. ON THE SENATE IMAGE
MY RESPONSIBILITIES- ARE TO THE
CARE OF INMATES. THE QUESTION
OF STAFF TESTING INCLUDING THE
TESTING OF MEDICAL ON OF STAFF
AND HEALTH CARE STAFF IS REALLY
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CDC OURS
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH OFFICE
THEIR WELLNESS OFFICE- NOW NOW
I HAVE TESTING CAPACITY THAT
BUT WE ARE USING FOR INMATES
AND- BUT I'M RELUCTANT TO
DIVERT ANY OF THAT- FOR- STAFF
TESTING FAIR AND I KNOW THAT
SECRETARY DIAZ AND HIS TEAM-
THEY ARE AND HAVE BEEN IN THE
PROCESS OF. ESTABLISHING A
CONTRACTS FOR STAFF TESTING ON
BUT I NEED TO LET SECRETARY
DIAZ I THINK TO TAKE THAT PART
OF THE QUESTION. LET LET ME
REFRAME THE BECAUSE MY RE
QUESTION IS IN IN IN WHAT I
HEARD FROM SECRETARY D. AS I
GOT THE IMPRESSION THAT HE'S
LOOKING FOR AN EXTERNAL
CONTRACTED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE
THE CAPACITY TO TEST INMATES.
SO LESLIE FAIR ENOUGH YOU'RE
ACTUALLY RIGHT LET'S LEAVE IT
ON PERSONAL ASIDE WHAT IS YOUR
INTERNAL CAPACITY TO PROVIDE
THE KIND OF TESTING THAT WE ALL
NOW. MANY OF US HAVE ALWAYS
BELIEVED WAS NECESSARY BUT NOW
EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE ON THE
SAME PAGE IN TERMS OF
CONSISTENT REGULAR TEST IN EVEN
REPEATED TESTING OF INMATES. DO
YOU HAVE THE INTERNAL COMPACT
BODY THE PROVIDE THAT TESTING
OF INMATES WITH THE. FIVE THANK
YOU CENTER ON. CLARIFICATION ON.
WE BELIEVE THAT NOW WILL HAVE
THE CAPACITY TO DO THE ORDINARY
SURVEILLANCE TESTING- THERE
EVEN WITH AN EXPANDED PROGRAM
THAT WE NEED TO DO OUR OWN
NURSING STAFF. IS ABLE TO
CONDUCT THAT TYPE OF TESTING
PROGRAM. WE HAVE TO OUR TEST
KITS PROVIDED BY OUR OUTSIDE
GENERAL VENDOR WHO DOES ALL OF
OUR LABORATORY TESTING. AND WE
ARE ABLE SOUND ALL OF OUR
SAMPLES TO THEM WHEN THEY GET
THE TEST RESULTS THEY ARE
IMMEDIATELY- TRANSFERRED
ELECTRONICALLY AND- ELECTRONIC
HEALTH RECORD SYSTEMS WILL BE
GET RESULTS BACK. I YOU HAVE
OUR- ON DURING THAT. CRITICAL
TWO TO THREE WEEKS. WHEN YOU
NEED TO SUDDENLY BE TESTING
THOUSANDS OF INMATES AT ONCE
FOR THEIR WE ARE MORE CHALLENGE
OTHER TWO THINGS THAT WE DO
FIRST- WE HAPPENED OVERALL
RESOURCES TO TESTING AND AWAY
FROM MOST GENERAL HEALTH CARE
SO GENERAL HEALTH CARE
FUNCTIONS HANDLE SUFFERED
DURING THAT PERIOD. THE OTHER
THING THAT WE'VE DONE THAT I
THINK WAS HELPFUL TO ASSUME
SOME OF THE- OUTBREAKS IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA- WE HAD
ROAD- SUPPORT. WHO COULD HELP
THEM DR- SOME OF THAT SURGE
TESTING. AND OF THAT HELP WE
STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM OF SAN
QUENTIN EVEN RIGHT NOW WHERE IN
ORDER FOR EVEN AFTER WE'VE DONE
ALL THE TESTING. IN ORDER FOR
NURSES TO ACTUALLY DO TWICE
DAILY ASSESSMENTS OF PATIENTS
WITH TESTED POSITIVE. WE DON'T
THINK WE HAVE SUFFICIENT STAFF
FOR THAT- IT JUST IT IT'S A
WORKLOAD THIS MUCH HIGHER- THEN
WE ARE STAFF FOR AND WE ARE AT
SAN QUENTIN- LOOKING AT- ON
BUMPING UP THEIR STAFF
RESOURCES BOTH BY DIVERTING
NURSES FROM OTHER INSTITUTIONS
YEAH INCREASING OUR RELIANCE
REGISTRY NURSES. BOB SO DURING
THAT SURGE PERIOD WELL WHAT WE
ARE CHALLENGED. AND IS THERE A
PLAN FOR THAT THAT WE BY THEN A
THAT YOU HAVE CHALLENGE THERE
ARE OF ON PROPOSED FLEW.
PERCENT WENT THERE IS A
PROPOSED SOLUTION TO A MEDIUM
SEND NURSES FROM OTHER IN. WITH
REGISTRY THAT'S MY A LONG TERM
SOLUTION BUT BECAUSE IF WE GET
TO MONIES PRISON SIMULTANEOUSLY
HAVING LARGE OUTBREAKS WE WON'T
BE ABLE SUPPORT. SO STAFF IS AT
THIS POINT I READ I DON'T HAVE
A SOLUTION FOR IT YET.BUT THEY
ARE AT THIS POINT EXPLORING PER
WEEK. YES SIR THE STAFF AND
WHEN WE NEED. I MY
UNDERSTANDING IS AND I THINK
WE'RE SEEING THIS THE BEAR.
OTHER THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE
FLORA NURSES. ARE WHO ARE. IN
HELPING OUT IN PROVIDING
SERVICE. OUR I THINK THE GOV
OFFICE HELLO EARLIER A NOW
APPROACH. FOR HEALTH CARE FOR
TO DO. THEIR TIME MAKE THEM SO
OF THE- SO WILL WE'RE GOING TO
BE EXT ALL OPTIONS BECAUSE AND-
ABOUT THE GOOD CITY THE NURSES
OVER THE NEXT WELL TO EIGHTEEN
MONTHS IF THAT'S HOW THIS LAUGH.
WHAT WE'RE TO NEED TO HAVE MY-
CAPACITY. THANK YOU A AND I

THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION
SENATOR MITCHELL AND I WILL
SAY. IN RETURN IN REGARDS TO

THE CAR OF THE COUNTY IN TECH
WAS A SENSE AND KERR THE SPREAD
OF KOBE. THEN THERE'S THE- AND
TRYING TO AS A WITH A COUNTY

THAT THEY ALL HAVE PRESSURE. SO
THE AND CALL TO CLOSE FOR

WAS A- NOT BE TO THEM WORKING
IT CONTINUE NOT TO TAKE. IT'S
FROM THE COUNTY JAIL. THE WAS A
PLAN TO TAKE ONLY TRUE INMATES
ONE HUNDRED FOR WASCO AND ONE
HUNDRED FOR NORTH KERN THE
SEVEN HUNDRED AND TAKING IS IF
THAT WAS. I THINK THE MAYBE IN
A WE KNOW INTENDED BRING IN
SEVEN TO OUR SISTER AND OUR SO
BECAUSE WE DO THE NUMBER OURS
OF OUR RECEPTIONS. TO TALK. AND
NOR KERN WE PRIDE TO THAT
DECISION WE HAD A FIVE CENTER.
WE HAD ONE AND SHE WE HAD ONE

ONE THAT THE CAL QUESTION SO
AGAINST THE SO NARRATIVE DOWN
TO ONLY TWO OF ENTRY. NORTH
KERN. AND CLOSE THE CAP.
INTERNET AND DIRECTING MANY
PEOPLE TO THE INTERNET AND
RESOURCE EVERYTHING FROM OUR-
IN MAKO HOARDING TOWARD TESTING
THE STAFF TôI TESTING OF
MATES- TO THE CLOSURES OF
PROGRAMS. OF THE MOVEMENT
BETWEEN INSTITUTIONS. AND THE
PROGRAM STATUS OF EVERY
INSTITUTION- I BELIEVE THERE'S
BEEN AN OVER RELIANCE ON OUR
END WE DO NEED TO DEVELOP A
MORE. COMPREHENSIVE A COHESIVE.
ARGUMENT RATHER THAN REFER
EVERYONE TO THE INTERNET- AND-
I HAVE BINDER HERE WITH.
DIRECTOR TENET AND I'LL BE THE
FIRST TO ADMIT WE NEED ALL OF
THOSE PUT. ONE DOCUMENT IS OVER
REPORT. BUT AS WITH ANY REPORTS
ESPECIALLY DURING COLD BUT- IT
IS GOING TO BE A REVOLVING
REMOVING AND- BUT AS FAR AS-
THE FUNDS THAT ARE BEING
DISTRIBUTED BY. BY YOUR- BY
YOUR COMMITTEE CENTER I DO
APPRECIATE A CORRECTIONS IS
BETTER FOR IT. BUT I HOPE YOU
DO TOO. THE DECISION TO. NOT
TAKE JAIL. INMATES ARE ISN'T
TAKE A LOT ON OUR- THERE'S BEEN
A LOT OF HUMAN. WITH OUR WITH
OUR SURE PARTNER. AT THE ERROR.
NEVER PART IN THIS WHEN THIS
THE- THERE WAS A GUIDELINE SENT
TO THE SHERIFF'S EARLY EARLY TO
MID LAST WEEK YOU'RE IN THE
CLEAR DIRECTION. ON WHAT TYPES
IT MAKES ARE TO COME TO US WHAT
IS YOUR TESTING PROTOCOLS- AND
THEY HAVE BEEN GOOD PARTNERS IN
IT AND THAT- THAT GREAT YOUR
HUSBAND WILL IN COLLABORATION
WITH THE RECEIVERS OFFICE TO
MAKE SURE THE RECEIVER'S OFFICE
IS IN AGREEMENT. THAT THE
QUESTIONS OR ASK YOU KNOW WHAT
WE'RE REQUIRING OF THE COUNTIES
IS CONSISTENT WITH OUR CODE
MITIGATION STRATEGIES- BUT-
EVEN WITH THAT WITH THE SPIKES
THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE LAST TWO
WEEKS. I SENT A LETTER TO THE
COUNTIES INFORMING THEM THAT WE
READ ACTUALLY TELLING OF WE
HAVE TO CONTINUE TO COSTS AND
TAKE FOR ANOTHER THIRTY DAYS.
THAT DOES ALLOW US TO. IS
NUMBER ONE- TAKE A LOOK AT THE
VACANT CAPACITIES IN OUR
RESEARCH CENTERS WHICH NOW
EXISTS BECAUSE IN RATES ARE NOT
COMING IN AT TO STRATEGIZE WITH
THE RECEIVERS OPTIONS BE
POPULATE OTHER LOCATIONS OR WE
MAY HAVE CRISIS AREAS THAT WE
CANNOT D. POPULATE OR REDUCE
THE DENSITY. INSTITUTIONS AND
MOVE INDIVIDUALS AS COHORTS
AFTER BEING TESTED IN
QUARANTINE AT THE SENDING IN
AND ON THE RECEIVING END- SO. I
HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR SENATOR
ABOUT THE OVERALL PLAN THE
WHEEL FINANCE IN THE FINANCE
OWES YOU. BUT AGAIN I WILL
CHALK IT AND I WILL SAY THAT

ON OUR INTERNET AND POSTING.

THING RESPONSE ON AND I'LL IN
NOW ON THAT I'M CHAIRWOMAN YOU
KNOW ON THE MANY MEMBERS ARE
OFTEN CONCERNED ABOUT UNFUNDED
MANDATES ACTIONS WE TAKE IT THE
LEGISLATURE THAT HAVE FINANCIAL
IMPACT ON LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND

HAVE PAID WE HAVE. PAID FOR.
STOPPING THE INTAKE FROM THE
COUNTY LEVEL SO THEY HAVE
RECEIVED REIMBURSEMENT. ALL AND
WITH THE SECRETARY- I'M NOT
SURE OF THE SOURCE OF THE
MISTAKE LET ME JUST STATE THAT.
BOMB IN THE STAFF BRIEFING WITH
FINANCE. WE WERE TOLD SEVEN
HUNDRED PER WEEK. AND WHEN
STAFF RETURN THE CALL TO
CLARIFY THAT THEY DID MEAN
SEVEN HUNDRED A MONTH
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
REITERATED A SECOND TIME. THE
INTENT WAS TO TRANSFER ME USING
YOUR TERMINOLOGY INTAKE. WAS TO
PICK BACK UP. AT SEVEN HUNDRED
PER WEEK. SOUL IF FINANCE IN
COORDINATING WITH THE AGENCY.
PROBLEM AND SO- I APPRECIATE

AND THIS COMMITTEE AS WELL AS
HIGH AS DEAL BE FEE WILL
CONTINUE TO BE DIRECTLY
INVOLVED IN THESE ONGOING
CONVERSATIONS BECAUSE WE ARE

THANK YOU CENTER THANK YOU
SENATOR MITCHELL SECTOR DS
RESPONDING BUT LET ME JUST ADD
TO THE SENATOR MITCHELL'S. HAS
BEEN HER ROLE OF CHAIR OF L.
JAIL BC. FIVE COURSES A MEMBER
OF JAIL BC CUT TO RECEIVE EACH
OF THOSE LETTERS THAT WERE
SENT. AND I JUST WANT TO RE
EMPHASIZE THE POINT THAT I
DON'T THINK WAS ANSWERED. THAT
AS FAR AS I KNOW BECAUSE I
WOULD HAVE RECEIVED A RESPONSE
THAT NONE OF THE REQUESTS. THAT
SENATOR MITCHELL THAT THE
JAILED BC SENT. EACH TIME THE
JAIL BC AUTHORIZED THE
EXPENDITURES THAT THE REQUEST
FOR INFORMATION WERE NEVER
RESPONDED TO SO WHILE THERE MAY
HAVE BEEN THINGS ON A CDC OUR
WEBSITE. THERE WAS NEVER A
FORMAL COMMUNICATION THAT WE
SHOULD LOOK AT THE CDC OUR
WEBSITE TO ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS
THERE CERTAINLY THERE HAVE BEEN
SOME OF US WHO HAVE BEEN
MONITORING THE CDC HERE ARE
WEBSITE ALL THIS TIME. FOR
EXAMPLE I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO
CITE THE DATE JUST CITED BEFORE
AROUND AND THE NUMBER THE STAFF
AT WHAT FACILITIES AND THE
INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS ARE
FACILITIES ALL OF THAT IS RIGHT
THERE ON THE CDC OUR WEBSITE.
BUT I THINK- AND I RUBIO.
SENATOR MITCHELL'S POINTING OUT
THAT JAIL BC HAS BEEN
REQUESTING THIS INFORMATION AND
OUT THE NEXT THE FOR PLANNED
FOR MONTHS. AND WILL LEAVE IT
AT THAT. SENATOR WIENER I WANT
TO ASK ONE QUESTION BEFORE I
CALLING YOU SO APOLOGIES- MR
KELSO IN SECTOR YEARS YOU CAN
RESPOND ALSO TO MR CALL SO YOU
MENTIONED THAT. AND I A PRIEST
A SENATOR MITCHELL'S. HAVING
CLEARED BY THE AUTHORITY OF
YOUR ROLE BUT YOU MENTIONED
THAT GUIDANCE WAS GIVEN
STARTING WITH MARCH TWENTIETH
AND ON VARIOUS GUIDANCE. AND MY
UNDERSTANDING THAT WHILE IT'S
NOT BEEN SAID YET BY SECRETARY
DEUS. IN THE CALLS THAT I'VE
HAD WITH THE DEPARTMENT OVER
THE LAST X. NUMBER OF MONTHS
THERE WAS A CERTAIN POINT WERE
I WAS INFORMED. THAT SYSTEM
WIDE THERE WAS THE REQUIREMENT
FOR STAFF TO WEAR MASKS. WHAT I
WANT TO KNOW IS WHETHER IN FACT
THERE WAS THAT REQUIREMENT
WHETHER THE RECEIVER WAS
INVOLVED IN MAKING SURE THAT
THAT REQUIREMENT WAS EITHER
ISSUED AN ENFORCED AND FROM CDC
ARE WAS THAT REQUIREMENT
ENFORCED. THAT ALL STAFF WEAR
MASKS. BECAUSE ANECDOTALLY WHAT
WE HEAR IS THAT STAFF. DO NOT
WEAR MASKS SOME BUT IT'S
IRREGULAR AND- SO WOULD LIKE TO
HAVE THE ANSWER TO THAT
QUESTION. YOUR MANAGER THE-
I'LL I'LL GIVE AN ANSWER I
SUSPECT SECRETARY DEALS WANTED
AMPLIFIED- BOTH SECRETARY DIAZ
NINE HAVE. ISSUED DIRECTIVES
THAT STAFF- SHOW WEAR MASKS- WE
DON'T TWICE- I ALSO- BECAUSE WE
HEARD SIMILAR SORTS OF CONCERNS
THAT WELL WE KNOW PEOPLE
WEARING MASKS AND IS ALSO A
REQUIREMENT THAT GUY. WEAR
MASKS AND ABSORB DISTANCE I
SENT OUT FROM MY OFFICE. HE.
FIFTEEN FIFTEEN DIFFERENT OF.
THE ONES THOUGHT WE MOST
CRITICAL OR REVIEW. UP WITH
THE SOLE PURPOSE OF GETTING
REPORT BACK ON HOW WELL ARE
BOLD INMATES AND STAFF DOING IN
COMPLYING WITH THOSE DIRECTIVES
FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING MASKS SO
ON- AND I DID RECEIVE A REPORT.
BACK LAST WEEK. SOME HUNDRED
AND SIXTY PAGES WORTH OF DETAIL
ABOUT THE DEGREE OF COMPLIANCE-
IT IS NOT UNIFORM- IN GENERAL-
IT APPEARED THAT THERE WAS ONLY
ON ONE PRISON. WHERE THE REPORT
DESCRIBED THE PRISON AND WE'RE
ONLY GOING TO GO TO NOT TAKING.
THIS LAND OFF OVER. REPRESENT
WHAT SEE I AM. SURPRISINGLY I
DON'T SEE HOW THEY COULD NOT BE
TAKING IT SERIOUSLY GIVEN THE
EXTENT OF THE OUTBREAK THERE.
BOB FOR ALL OF THE OTHER
PRISONS THE REPORT CAME BACK
THAT IT WAS BEING TAKEN
SERIOUSLY- WE'VE HAD GREAT
COOPERATION- WITH THE INMATE
ADVISORY COUNCILS AND INMATES
IN GENERAL- THEIR OBSERVANT AND
MOST INSTITUTIONS. WE HAVE SOME
INMATES WHO ARE COMPLIANT DON'T
COMPLY WITH MUCH OF ANYTHING
BUT BY AND LARGE I THINK WE'RE
DOING. PRETTY WELL- WE
INDICATED IN OUR MOST A CERTAIN
RADIUS MINOR MOST RECENT MA'AM
ALL THAT IT IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
INSTITUTION LEADERSHIP. TO
ENFORCE THE REQUIREMENT OF
USING. OF THE PROGRESSIVE
DISCIPLINE SYSTEM. SO I DO
BELIEVE THAT IT IS BY BEING
ENFORCED ON OBSERVER. A JUDGE I
GOT MY DAY IN MY- HI HE
DESERVES NOT US ALONG EARLIER
THIS WEEK- AND HIT THE REPORT I
RECEIVED BACK DRUGS FIRE WAS IT
LOOKED AT HIM LIKE PEOPLE WERE
IN GENERAL COMPLYING WITH ALL
SORT OF A- MUCH. THIRTY ALSO.
SO I GOT TO BUY WHAT OF MISTER
CASTLE SAID IT IS A REQUIREMENT
WHEN WAS THE REQUIREMENT ISSUE-
I COULD GIVE YOU THE DATES THAT
HAD OPENED AROUND LATE MARCH.
MARCH BUT THAT WE JUST SIGNED
ANOTHER MEMBER AND LESS THAN
TWO WEEKS AGO AMPLIFYING AND
REITERATING THE NEED FOR MASKS
I ALSO DID- THE REQUIREMENT
REQUIREMENTS. IT IS WE ARE THAT
STUFF MASS AND LIKE LIKE MISTER
COUNSELL SENATE UP I ALSO
WANTED TOWARD PRISONS MYSELF-
DURING THE- IT WAS LAST MONTH I
DROVE. JUST ON THE CALIFORNIA
DIDN'T BLAME MYSELF DROVE. YES
TO NUMBER ONE CHECK ON THE
STATUS OF THE INSTITUTIONS BUT
TO ALSO LOOK AT MYSELF. FOR THE
COMPLIANCE OF MASS WHERE. SEVEN
INSTITUTIONS THAT I TOUR- STAFF
WERE IN COMPLIANCE AND I KNOW
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN STAFF KNOW
THE SECRETARIES ARE STILL OF
COURSE YOU CAN BEHIND AWARENESS
I'M WELL AWARE OF THAT. BOB
THAT'S WHY. YEAH WHICH IS NOT
JUST LOOK AT WHAT WAS IN FRONT
OF ME WHAT WAS BEHIND ME AND
YARDS NEXT TO ME. THE DOCTOR IN
MAKES STAFF. AND COMPLIANCE IS
MANDATORY. WE HAVE CMMUNICATED
THIS ITH THE BARGAINING UNITS
THE BARGAINING UNITS. ARE ARE
ON BOARD OF THE BARGAINING
UNITS HAVE BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE
OF THIS. THEY KNOW IT IT
BENEFITS MEMBERSHIP. AND THEY
RECOGNIZE THAT IF PROGRESSIVE
DISCIPLINE MASSIVE TAKEN ON
WHAT WE USED TO. FAILED TO
COMPLY OR DON'T COMPLY- NOT
UNDERSTANDING. THIS REQUIREMENT
NOT ONLY BY. BY THE DEPARTMENT
OF CORRECTIONS MIGHT KEEPERS
OFFICE- BUT IT'S JST THE RIGHT
THING TO DO AT THE STATE. THANK

DEPARTMENT'S OPERATIONS CENTER
THE RECEIVER'S OFFICE WE SEE
NEARLY THIRTY POINT THREE

WHERE THERE WAS STRONG TO TRY
AND FIND THAT SUPPLIER BUT
SINCE THEN WE HAVE RAMPED UP IF
THERE ARE CONCERNS AT. THANK EP
IT'S REPORTED UP THE
INSTITUTIONS THE MORE
OPERATIONS CENTER HERE AND WE
ADDRESS- I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT
THERE IS A LACK BUT IF THERE IS
WE WILL BE LESS. WIENER I JUST
WANT TO SAY I HAVE HEARD THAT
THERE IS A LACK OF PP AT SAN
QUENTIN FROM STAFF IT'S IN
COURT. FOR ITS- MAY LOOK INTO
THAT TO CONFIRM BECAUSE MORE
HEARING BEST FROM FROM REAL
WORLD SOURCES. ON THE REGARDING
ICE TRANSFERS- SO- SECRETARY
DEUS EX SO I WANT TO KNOW.
SINCE THE BEGINNING YOU. HOW
MANY. IT IS OUR TRANS TO OUR TO
TEN BUT AND HAS THE DEPARTMENT
BEEN TRACKING- WHETHER THESE
INDIVIDUALS ARE BEING
TRANSFERRED TO ICE DETENTION
pFACILITIES WHERE WE KNOW THAT
CODE IS SPREADING DATA WE'VE
GOT AND IS A ONE OUT OF THREE-
INDIVIDUALS IN THESE DETENTION
FACILITIES. IS POPULAR SO.
BROWN'S ARE YOU TRYING WHETHER
THEY'RE GOING TO FACILITY THAT
HAVE COVERED ISSUES. THANK YOU
FOR THE QUESTION SENATOR. SO AS
FAR AS THE NUMBER I WILL HAVE
TO GET THAT TO YOU FROM THE
BEGINNING OF THE YEAR I CAN
PROBABLY GET IT BY THE END OF
THE DAY. BUT I WILL SAY ONE WAS
IN THE TERM TRANSFER WE DON'T
WE THE CDC OUR- TRANSPORT ME IN
MY TO SEE TO ASK CITY. IF IT
MITCHELL SERVE THEIR TERMS AND
THEIR TERM IS UP. IT IS A
RESULT WARRANT BY I USED AS A
UP WE- PICKED UP BY I JUST LIKE.
ANY OTHER LAW AGENCIES WHO MADE
ALL THE VISUAL THE TAKEN. FOR
OUR. CUSTOMERS SOMEONE LEAVES
OUR PRISONS BACK OF UP IT'S
OVER IF PRICES. WE
TRANSPORTING- OR SOME OTHERS
USE YOUR HAS OVERSIGHT OVER THE
TRANSPORT- IT'S AUDIBLE BROWN
BUT SORT OF OUR PURVIEW OF THE
MINISTER SENTENCE IN THEIR
DOMINANCE HALT. REJECTED AND
CUSTODY WATER PICKS THEM UP. MY
AYE AYES SO I UNDER IS YOU
ABOUT THE ONE DURING THE FIFTH
TRANSPORT. BOB MY UNDERSTANDING
IS- CCAR INFORMS ICE I THINK
FIVE DAYS BEFORE RELEASE ABOUT
TELL IT SNOWS TO PICK SOMEONE
UP WHEN THEY'RE BUILT THE
RELEASE OF CITY SEE ARE FROM
WHAT I UNDERSTAND. THIS
INVOLVED AND- ON A CALL TO
TRANSFER HAND OFF FROM CITY
SITAR TO ICE OF PEOPLE WHO'VE
COMPLETED- THEIR CITY YARD
SENTENCE OR WHO ARE BEING
RELEASE OR PAROLED- AND CITY
ARE FACILITATE SOME BEING
PICKED UP UPON THE RELEASE AND
THEN TO TURN AYE SUSPENSION.
ALREADY THE ARE OP YOUR SENSE
COVERT BECOME A THERE ARE REAL
MAJOR ISSUE IN CALIFORNIA LET'S
SAY STARTING IN MARCH HAS CDC
ARE CONTINUE TO DO THAT TO
FACILITATE ICE PICKING UP THESE
PEOPLE ARE BEING RELEASED AND A
CITY SEE OUR- LOOK INTO.
THEY'RE BEING SERVICEABILITY
WITH A COMMON PROBLEM IS THAT
HAPPENING. SO RICOH RID- AND
CURRENT CODE IF THERE IS A
HOLDING PLACE GIVEN BY ANY LAW
ENFORCEMENT ENTITY WHETHER BE
ICE WHETHER BE LOS ANGELES SURE
FOR THERE TO BE A GEORGIA AND
NOT HOLD IS IN PLACE. AND
THEY'RE THERE TO PICK THEM UP
THEN WE RELEASE UNDER THEIR
CUSTODY AFTER THEY'RE OUT OF
OUR CUSTODY WE DON'T- WE'RE NOT
CHECK FOR THEY GO. OR NOT
CHECKING THE STATUS OF WOMEN
GOING TO THEY ARE NOW IN THE
CARE CUSTODY OF THE OF THE
ENTITY PICKING THEM UP. SO BY.
IT I AM I CORRECT THIS ARE DOES
NOT AN OBLIGATION. TO ALERT ICE
AND TO FACILITATE THE HAND OFF
THE EYES OF THESE THE DETAINEES
ARE YOU ARE YOU. YOU'RE NOT
OBLIGATED TO DO THAT CITIES ARE
IS CHOOSING TO DO THAT. GIVEN
WHAT WE KNOW. ABOUT WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN THESE PRIVATE
PRISON ICE DETENTION
FACILITIES. OVERHEAD WHY IS CC
ARE CONTINUING TO ALERT ICE THE
PEOPLE ARE BEING RELEASED- AND
TO FACILITATE. THE HAND OFF WHY
ARE YOU STILL DOING THAT AND
WILL WILL WILL YOU WILL YOU
STOP. I THINK CITY SORRY TO
STOP. DOING THAT. OKAY SO AS
WITH ALL HOLDS THERE IS CONTACT
MADE WITH THE ENTITY THE
INITIALLY PLACED A WHOLE TO
INQUIRE ARE YOU GOING TO PICK
THIS INDIVIDUAL UP OR NOT.
QUESTION WHAT AS NOT JUST WILL
ANY LAW FORCED AND TO. ARE YOU
GOING TO PAY THEM UP. BUT THEY
SAY WE'RE NOT THERE WILL HOLD
AND THEY JUST HOME. IF THEY SAY
THEY ARE LOOKING NO WHERE YOU
HAVE ALL. SO THEY CAN MAKE
THEIR RIGHT COMMUNICATION
FAMILY BUT WE NOT ICE JUST WHAT
WE WOULD ANY LONG. WHO IS
REQUESTING THAT THE GOING TO
PICK UP. WE DON'T HAVE ICE ANY
AS WE WOULD ANY OTHER LAFORTUNE.
AND IF THERE IS A HOLDING PLACE
AND- WE WILL CONTINUE TO
ENFORCE. BUT I GUESS. THE
QUESTION IS WHY. YOU DON'T HAVE
TO TREAT THIS LIKE ANY OTHER
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY. AND
FRANKLY ICE IS NOT LIKE. OTHER
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WE
KNOW ALL THE PROBLEMS OF ICE.
GOING WELL BEYOND COVE IT IN
TERMS OF HOW THEY TREAT.
IMMIGRANTS IN THESE DETENTION
FACILITIES. AND THE PROBLEM.
PEOPLE DOT. ABOUT WITH THE WAVE
LGBT Q. IMMIGRANTS ARE TREATED
TREATED IN CHILDREN. AND THEN
WE HAVE COBIT WERE ONCE AGAIN
THE- DONE A TERRIBLE JOB. AND
SO FIFTY C. R. IS NOT REQUIRED.
TO CORDON QUE AND FACILITATE.
ARE YOU STICKING HIS PEOPLE UP
YOU'RE CHOOSING VOLUNTARILY TO
DO SO. AND SO MY QUESTION IS
WHY ARE YOU CHOOSING TO
VOLUNTARILY DO SO. AND WILL CDC
ARE COMMITTED TO STOP DOING
THIS THIS IS MAKING THE COVERT
SITUATION IT'S HARMING PEOPLE
WILL YOU STOP DOING. WE WILL
CONTINUE TO FOLLOW OUR POLICY
STATE. HOLDING PLACE WE WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH ANY LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY INCLUDING
THE X. FOR A HOLDEN PLACE TO
TURN OVER TO THE CUSTOMER. OKAY
LIFE IS ONE OF INCLUDE BY
SAYING I. COULD NIGHT THE THREE
WITH CDC OURS INVOLUNTARY
POLICY. TO HAND PEOPLE OFF THE
ICE A COULD NOT DISAGREE MORE.
WE THIS IS THIS IS MAKING THE
COVERED SITUATION WORSE. THE
LEGISLATURE HAS BEEN CLICK
HERE. WITH THE PASSAGE OF US
FIFTY FOUR THAT WE DO NOT WANT
TO. OFFICE TATE. THE TRUMP
DEPORTATION MACHINE- AND EVEN
THOUGH YES THE GOVERNOR DID
VETO AB TWELVE EIGHTY TWO WEST
HEREBY ASSEMBLY MEMBER KALRA.
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO THE
MISTAKE AND I HOPE THAT THIS
MISTAKE OF QUICKLY RECTIFIED
AND STOP. FOR NINETY DAYS.
SENATOR MOORLACH. THANK YOU

THE CASE. HOWEVER NOR MIGHT
ACTIVELY ASKING STAFF TO GET

THAT YOU CAN MAKE. A SELF ONE
SELF REPORT THAT- BECAUSE
PRICES. IN JUST. NORM YOU TO

THE- THIS MATTER. RISK PATIENTS
THAT WOULD PROBABLY INFORMS
THAT THAT IS A BUT HAVE NOT
HEARD THAT'S THE CASE BUT AGAIN

HELPFUL YOU BEEN WERE WITH
RECEIVER CAR CAL SELLING HE-

PARTNERSHIP WITH CDC ARE IT IS
VALUE AT OTHERS EXPERTISE THAT
DOES EXIST IN THE RECEIVER'S
OFFICE THAT. THAT SEEKS YOUR
RELIES HEAVILY ON. AND THE
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE RECEIVER
ESPECIALLY MISTER CALDERON

PROCESS A TO END THE
RECEIVERSHIP. ESSENTIALLY WHEN

NUMBER THAT ARE READY FOR
DELEGATION THAT HAVE NOT YET

THE NEXT. MOTHER TO A TO FIGURE
OUT HOW I CAN REORGANIZE MY OWN
ATTENTION SO THAT I CAN GET
BACK TO THE PROCESS NOT ONLY OF
WORKING WITH SOUND SECRETARY

THINK OF A HIGH PRIORITY. BUT
SO THAT I CAN CONTINUE THE
PROCESS DELEGATING BACK DATE

DON'T HOLD IN TERMS OF THAT
PROGRESS. FOR FIVE MONTHS NOW
BUT I HOPE TO GET BACK TO IT.
THANK YOU WERE KELSO THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR. THANK YOU CENTER
MORE LIKE SENATOR BRADFORD.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR I HAD A
QUESTION FOR SECRETARY DHEAS AS
RELATES TO PERSONNEL STAFFING
IT'S BEEN BROUGHT TO MY
ATTENTION I PARTICIPATED IN A
CALL. A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AGO
WITH ONE OF YOUR FACILITIES
INTO WHICH BROUGHT TO MY
ATTENTION ALONG WITH THE CHAIR
OF THE ASSEMBLY. A PUBLIC
SAFETY THAT THE SOME THE
FACILITIES ARE LACKING MEDICAL
DIRECTORS OR IF THEY DO HAPPEN
COULD DIRECTOR THERE AN ACTING
CAPACITY BEYOND THEIR SKILL
START IS THAT STILL THE- BUT
THE QUESTION IF- BETTER RECTOR.
MEANING THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE
OFFICER OVER HEALTH CARE- THAT
IS- THAT'S MORE IN LINE OF A
QUESTION FOR MR KELSO. ACTOR AT
EACH FACILITY AT EACH
FACILITIES FACILITY HAS A CHIEF
EXECUTIVE OFFICER WHO IS OVER
HEALTH CARE- THEIR EQUIVALENT
TO OUR WARDENS AT THE
INSTITUTION OKAY AS A RACE TO
HEALTH CARE MATTERS TO MISTER
KELSO THEM THANK YOU. THANK YOU
SENATOR THE- WE DO HAVE. SOME
OF THE SMALL NUMBER OF ACTING
C. E. O.'S MOST OF OUR C. E.
O.'S. I HAVE BEEN WITH US NOW
FOR MANY YEARS FRANKLY AND THEY
ARE VERY EXPERIENCED- GROUP. OF
HEALTH CARE USUALLY HOSPITAL
FORMER HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATORS-
UNDERSTAND VERY WELL HOW TO
MANAGE A STAFF OF HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS- IN THE STATE WE
HAVE ACTING IS BECAUSE- PEOPLE
RETIRE THEY DECIDE THEY'RE- NOT
FROM MOM. AND WE HAVE WE ARE
CONSTANTLY IN A PROCESS OF
RECRUITING. FOR CEOS AND FOR
CHIEF MEDICAL EXECUTIVES-
BECAUSE WE HAVE VACANCIES WE
NEED TO HAVE A POOL OF PEOPLE
CHOOSE FROM. IT YOU HAVE. YOUR
INSTITUTION CONCERNED ABOUT THE
PLEASE DO FEEL FREE TO CONTACT
ME- AND I CAN RESPOND MORE
PRECISELY BUT BY AND LARGE OUR
C. E. O.'S ALL OF OUR POSITIONS
THE VAST MAJORITY OF OUR
POSITIONS ARE FILLED WITH. A
PERMANENT- EXPERIENCE
LEADERSHIP. BE BECAUSE IT AGAIN
AT. CALL THAT I RECEIVED ALONG
WITH THE CHAIR OF THE ASSEMBLY
PUBLIC SAFETY THAT THEY HAD
PEOPLE AN ACTING CAPACITY BUT
NOT NECESSARILY IN THEIR SKILL
SET NOW THEY MIGHT HAVE BROUGHT
UNDERSTANDING BUT IT WASN'T
SPECIFICALLY AS IT RELATED TO
HEALTH CARE AND ADDRESSING THIS
CALL THE- ISSUE. THAT WE'RE
FACING RIGHT NOW SO THANK YOU.
THANK YOU CENTER BRADFORD I
WANT TO- MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT
PANEL WE HAVE A HARD STOP AT
ONE O'CLOCK TODAY AND WE
OBVIOUSLY WANT TO HEAR FROM THE
PUBLIC ALSO. BUT BEFORE WE DO.
I WANTED TWO THINGS ONE I
APPRECIATE THE HONESTY. MISTER
COLE SO IN DESCRIBING. THE
ISSUE OF THE TRANSFER HOW YOUR
MATRIX HOW YOUR A. B. AS I
UNDERSTAND IT WHAT I HEARD WAS
THAT THERE WAS THE REQUIREMENT
OF TESTING HOWEVER IN NEVER
SPECIFIED WHEN. BUT I GUESS
WHAT I WOULD HAVE TO SAY ABOUT
THAT. IS IF THERE IS THE CHIEF
MEDICAL OFFICER AT EACH VISIT.
CAN ANYONE UNDERSTANDS AWAY
THIS FIRE SPREAD IN YOU KNOW
MAY IN MARCH WE DIDN'T FULLY
UNDERSTAND AND MAYBE WE DIDN'T
HAVE ADEQUATE TESTING. BUT BY
THE END OF MAY WE FULLY
UNDERSTOOD AND WE HAD ADEQUATE
TESTING SO HOW THERE COULD HAVE
BEEN THE TRANSFER. WITH PEOPLE
THAT HAD NOT BEEN TESTED FOR
TWO TO THREE WEEKS. HEY I JUST
IT'S SUPPORT AND I STILL DON'T
UNDERSTAND IT. I DON'T KNOW
REALLY IF THERE'S A COMMENT. TO
MAKE OR NOT I JUST HAVE TO MAKE
THAT STATEMENT BUT I GUESS THE
QUESTION I HAVE. IS IN THIS IS
TO BOTH. MISTER CALDERON
SECRETARY DS BUT PERHAPS MISTER
KELSO PRIMARILY. AS THE PERSON
WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE
DELIVERY OF HEALTHCARE. VINCENT
YOUR GUIDANCE INDICATED THERE'S
THE EED FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING
PHYSICAL DISTANCING. MENU BIG
KNOWLEDGE THAT THAT'S DIFFICULT
IN SETTING. AND WE KNOW THAT WE
ARE OVERCROWDED. DO YOU HAVE
THE AUTHORITY TO REQUIRE
RELEASES ENDERS RELEASES DO NOT
NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE BACK TO.
DO COMMUNITY SETTING THEY COULD
BE AN TO OTHER FACILITIES FOR
EXAMPLE AND I DON'T MEAN JUST
PRISON FACILITIES. BUT I MEAN
FACILITY WHERE PEOPLE COULD BE
NOT CROWDED COULDN'T COULD OF A
FALL AT A FOLLOW THE
APPROPRIATE GUIDELINES. ON DO
YOU HAVE THAT AUTHORITY AND
BEFORE YOU ANSWER I JUST WANT
TO SINCE THIS IS BEEN TALKED
ABOUT I JUST WANNA MAKE IT
CLEAR TO ANY PUBLIC THAT'S
LISTENING. THE NUMBERS THAT
HAVE FOR TO EVERY SO FAR ALL
BEEN RELEASES THAT WOULD HAVE
HAPPENED ON THE NATURAL. THE
NOW. THREE THOUSAND
APPROXIMATELY PEOPLE ARE
RELEASED FROM OUR PRISON
SYSTEMS EVERY MONTH. SO THAT
THE FACT THAT SINCE LATE MARCH
WE RELEASE SOME SEVEN THOUSAND
IS NOT HIGHLY UNUSUAL AT ALL.
SO I GUESS SOMEONE TO IN TERMS
OF THIS PLAN FOR HOW TO DEAL
WITH THE SPREAD WHETHER THERE
IS ANY- PLANNED FOR. RELEASES
TO ACCOMMODATE TO BE ABLE TO
ACHIEVE THE APPROPRIATE FISCAL
DISENCHANTMENT THERE. AND THE
OTHER GUIDELINES FOR EXAMPLE IF
WE HAVE PEOPLE AND DORMITORY
FACILITIES ARE WE HAVE PEOPLE
IN CELLS THAT DON'T TELL A SOUL
DOORS. THANK YOU FOR THE
QUESTION. THE ISSUE OF OUR
RELEASES NEW TO RELEASE IT I
HAVE BEEN BEFORE- THE COURTS IN
OF THE CASE THE COURTS BEEN
HOLDING- HEARINGS ABOUT EVERY
SEVEN DAYS FOR A WHILE AND NOW
MOST RECENTLY ABOUT EVERY TEN
DAYS AND THE QUESTION OF
RELEASES IS BEFORE THE COURT-
DO NOT BELIEVE I HAVE.
AUTHORITY MYSELF TO. ORDER A
HOUSING CHANGES OR RELEASES-
THAT WOULD PUT- PATIENTS
OUTSIDE OF THE INSTITUTION.
EXCEPT FOR- ORDERING PATIENTS
UP TO GO TO HIGHER LEVELS OF
CARE HOSPITALS SO I DON'T
BELIEVE I HAVE THE POWER. TO DO
WHAT YOU'RE ASKING. SENATOR
MITCHELL. THANK YOU IT WAS A
LISTENING TO YOUR QUESTION- I'M
I'M REMINDED OF THE NUMEROUS
STAKEHOLDERS AND ACADEMICS WHO
ARE AT LEAST IN THE ME IN MY
OFFICE THEIR CREATIVE IDEAS CUT
YOU KNOW PEOPLE ASKING IS THERE
ANY MORE I. CREATE ID BOB
PARTNER WITH. AGENCIES IN TERMS
OF TRANSFER. AND SO ON I'D LIKE
TO KNOW- IF. THE SECRETARY WITH
THE COUNCIL ARE GETTING THEM IF
THERE IS A REPOSITORY WHERE
PEOPLE CAN BE SENDING THESE
CREATIVE IDEAS TO THEM. ALL MY
APPRECIATE THEM COMING TO MY
OFFICE BECAUSE OF TODAY'S
HEARING. BUT TO GET THEM INTO
THE HANDS OF THE KILLER WHO ARE
THE DECISION MAKERS IN WHO
HAVE. ALBEIT LIMITED POWER TO
MAKE FROM LITTLE DEFICIENT HOW
WOULD THEY LIKE TO RECEIVE THAT
INPUT FROM.INFORMED PEOPLE
STAKEHOLDERS ACADEMICS AND
OTHERS WHERE SHOULD THEY SEND
THEM. SENATOR MITCHELL I'D I'D
WELCOME SOME OF THOSE- SOME OF
THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS OR SOME
OF THOSE IDEAS WE HAVE BEEN
LOOKING AT VARIOUS OPTIONS- BUT
YOU KNOW WITH THE VARIOUS
OPTIONS WE ALSO NEED TO KEEP IN
MIND. WE NEED TO PUT THE MAIN
LOCATION SO WHAT WE ARE NOT
GOING TO MAKE A MAKE A BAD
SITUATION WORSE SITUATION
THAT'S NUMBER WE DON'T WANT TO
BE DOING- IS OUR- I. CAN SEE.
OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE
REENTRY SERVICES AFTER
INCARCERATION- NEEDS TO NEEDS
TO IMPROVE. WE HAVE GOOD
PARTNERSHIPS WITH RE ENTRY RE
ENTRY SERVICES ARE COMMUNITIES.
THE EXPANSION OF THAT IS NOT
SHE- AND- BUT IN A WAY THAT IF
THERE'S ANY OTHER CREATIVE
SOLUTIONS LIKE THE USAGE ARE
YOU COLLEGE DORMITORIES SO-
EMPTY JAILS BUT ALSO BEFORE I
WOULD DO THAT I WOULD. I WOULD
BE LOW THE EMPTY HOUSE UNITS AT
THIS WITHIN CDC ARE. AND
MAXIMIZE THOSE A TO REDUCE
DENSITY INSTITUTIONS IF I CAN
HOUSE INMATES IN EMPTY
BUILDINGS. LET'S JUST HONEST
CELL. THAT WOULD GET CITY AND I
DO HAVE INDEED. IN SYSTEM I
JUST BE BUT HOWEVER TO THE NAME
OF THE COMPANY ISSUES OF OUR
EXISTING. REALLY MINIMIZE THOSE
TRANSFERS SO- I'LL STOP THERE I
WOULD JUST SAY IT WITH THE
SECRETARY GIVEN YOUR WORKLOAD I
DON'T THINK IT'S REALISTIC TO
EXPECT THAT WE SHIPPED ALL OF
THESE. TO YOU IF YOU IN A FIVE
SOMEONE ON YOUR TEAM ARE THE-
LOVE. WHO COULD. RECEIVE BEEN
COMMUNICATION- WITH THESE
STAKEHOLDERS. AGAIN THEY- THE
RECOMMENDATIONS WE'VE SEEN ON
OUR- AGAIN ALSO ON IT MAY
FOCUSED AND WOULD NOT SUGGEST
HOMELESSNESS WOULD NOT SUGGEST
INTO A SETTING THAT WOULD. UP
FOR A PER THE- SUPPORT
RESOURCES. OF YOU CAN IDENTIFY
WE CAN DIRECTED TO. BOMB I
THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. I
THINK THAT BE HELPFUL I THINK
NOT NOT I THINK ABOUT IT SHOULD
PROBABLY BE MY LEGISLATIVE
AFFAIRS CHIEF SANDY REPEAT AND
SOME LOW SEVENTIES YOU ALL SHE
CAN COLLECT. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU AND- IT IS JULYFIRST SO
THE MONEY THAT WE APPROVED IN
THE BUDGET IS AVAILABLE AND
THERE WAS A- A CARRY ON OF
ADDITIONAL FUNDIN. THAT THE
BSE SEE IS ADMINISTERING THAT
CAN SUPPORT- COMMUNITY BASED
GROUPS THAT PROVIDE. REENTRY
BEDS SO- IT I THINK THAT THAT
IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE
INCORPORATED IN WHATEVER PLANT
IS BEING BLOCKED. BY BEST CDS
YOUR AND THE PUBLIC HEALTH THAT
WE HAVE ALREADY ALLOCATED
FUNDING HAS NOT BEEN
DISTRIBUTED YET. BUT THERE MAY
BE FOR EXAMPLE. MANY MANY. RE
ENTRY ORGANISE AMITY TO MIND
THERE'S MANY MANY OTHERS THAT
DO PROVIDE REENTRY BEDS AND WHO
MAY HAVE A SPACES AND THAT
SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY. THAT WAS
APPROPRIATED BY THE LEGISLATURE
NEEDS TO BE LOOKED OUT FOR THAT
PURPOSE. AND WITH THAT I WANT
TO TURN NOW TO THE SECOND PANEL
AND I APPRECIATE. A SECRETARY
DS YOUR- ANSWERING OUR
QUESTIONS AND ALSO MISTER KELSO
AND PREVIOUSLY ARE- DEPARTMENT
OF PUBLIC HEALTH

IN TWO MONTHS AND WEALTH AND
PRIVILEGE WITH THIS UPWARD
COMMON PEOPLE DIED ALREADY. AND

WHERE WOULD WHAT WAS. HEARD
PEOPLE INSIDE THAT IN SOME
INSTANCES THERE'S ROBUST
CLEANING INSIDE THE FACILITIES
MULTIPLE TIMES THEIR SOLDIERS
DISTANCING ONLY ONE YOUR ONE
BUILDING CAN GO TO YOUR TIME.
THERE'S A JOINT EFFORT WITH
BOTH STAFF AND PEOPLE IN
CUSTODY HER EXACT OPPOSITE OF
SOME SORT OF THE SUIT BUT
THERE'S NO CLEANING AND SOME
PEOPLE ARE NOT. MEDICAL SO I
HAVE MIXED MIXED BATCH OF THESE
REPORTS FROM PEOPLE THAT I KNOW
AND I TRUST. THAT THEY'RE BEING
HONEST WITH. THE. I WOULD HOPE
THAT WE WILL LOOK AT THIS
LANCASTER WHICH IS ONE OF THE
FIRST INSTITUTIONS THAT OPERATE
THEY HAVE ZERO ACTIVE CASES
RIGHT NOW WE DID LANCASTER
RIGHT TO THE CITY'S EIGHT THE
STUDENT DATA SO WE HAVE TO
CASES ALL WE DID GREAT RIGHT

MISTER LEWIS. SHE THANK THE
JUSTIN TO GET LANCASTER IS VERY
VERY GOOD ONE. WHEN I. IN I
ALSO TAKE NOTICE THAT. I THINK
THERE IS A CORRECT PERCEPTION
THAT. IT IT'S NOT IT'S NOT A-
IT'S NOT A WRONG THING FOR
PEOPLE TO REACT TO SAN QUENTIN
AND CERTAINLY THE NUMBER OF
CASES BUT YES THE FACT WE'RE
SAN QUENTIN IS LOCATED- DOES
GIVE IT MORE ATTENTION THAN
SOME OF OUR OTHER FACILITIES
BUT I THINK YOU KNOW THAT.
THERE HAVE BEEN MANY MANY
PEOPLE IN THE LOW TURNOUT
STARTED LEGISLATURE'S YOU
DESCRIBED WHO HAVE BEEN TRYING
TO GET ANSWERS AND ON THIS NOW
FOR MONTHS IT WAS WE DID. FEEL
THE SAME QUENTIN'S VOICE. BUT
YEAH WE HAVE THE WHOLE CAN SAY
THE HOPE IT THEY'RE NOT NOW TO
TRY LIKELY TO GET FULLY CONTROL
OF IT LET'S TURN TO JAMES KING
FROM THE ELLA BAKER CENTER.
GOOD MORNING THANKS TO THE
CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK WITH
YOU TODAY. MY NAME IS JANE CAN
BE. I WAS RELEASED FROM SAN
QUENTIN SIX MONTHS AGO AFTER
LIVING THERE FOR SIX AND A HALF
YEARS. DURING MY TIME THE
QUARANTINES WERE ROUTINE. NO
MATTER HOW OFTEN I WASH MY
HANDS WAS CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT I
TOUCH TOO I WAS PROXIMATE TO I
NEVER WENT ONE YEAR WITHOUT IN
THE COAL. BECAUSE I LIVED IN
THE BUILDING WHICH- I AM FOR
APPROXIMATELY FOUR HUNDRED
PEOPLE BUT HOUSE NEARLY EIGHT
HUNDRED. WE SHARED EIGHTEEN
SHOWER HEADS AND TWELVE PAY
PHONES THE BUILDING WAS POORLY
VENTILATED WE LIVED IN CLOSE
QUARTERS THE WINDOWS ARE WELDED
SHUT THE SALES HAVE BARS
INSTEAD OF DOORS. THE SALES ARE
FOR THE WIDE AND ABOUT NINE
FEET IN LENGTH AND HAVE TWO
PEOPLE LIVING IN. AS WE SPEAK
ALL OF THE- EXPERIENCING A
SURGEON CORONAVIRUSES. AN
INSIDE SAN QUENTIN THE FASTEST
GROWING SCHOOL SEARCH HAS GROWN
TO OVER ELEVEN HUNDRED ALREADY.
I SPEAK TO MY LOVED ONES ON THE
INSIDE I HEAR PHYSICAL
DISTANCING IS IMPOSSIBLE. THE
MEDICAL ALARMS ARE GOING OFF
EVERY TEN MINUTES. PEOPLE
INCLUDING HOSPITAL WORKERS WERE
CLEANING COLD INFECTED SALES
ARE BEING DENIED SHOWERS THEY
HAVE NOT BEEN ISSUED HAND
SANITIZER SINCE MARCH. MEDICAL
STAFF REFUSES TO GIVE THEM ANY
UPDATES ON THE OUTBREAK. AND
THEY ARE SCARED. THEY SAY
MOVING THEM FROM ONE HIGHLY
OVERCROWDED PRISON TO ANOTHER
IS NOT THE ANSWER. THE ONLY
SAFE RESPONSIBLE SOLUTION IS
LARGE SCALE RELEASES BUT IN
SPITE OF REPORTS TO THE
CONTRARY LEASES HAVE ACTUALLY
SLOW DOWN. THE BEGINNING A
MODIFIED PROGRAM IN MARCH
EARNING TIME OFF OF PRISON
SENTENCES TO REHABILITATIVE
PROGRAMMING HAS BEEN HALTED. IN
PREPARING THESE REMARKS I HAVE
NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP THINKING
ABOUT MY FRIEND FREDDIE COLE.
HE SEVENTY NINE YEARS OLD
NUMBER TIMES IN TWENTY NINETEEN
WE DIDN'T THINK HE'D SURVIVE
THE YEAR BECAUSE HE HAD OPEN
HEART SURGERY AND HIS MATES
WERE ADJUSTED SEVERAL TIMES. I
pA SPOKESWOMAN THE BEGINNING OF
JUNE. THE OUTBREAK WAS BEGIN. I
HEARD CHAIR IN HIS VOICE. MY
DEAR FRIEND ERAGON SIXTY SIX
FOUND OUT EARLIER THIS YEAR TO
JUST CANCERS RETURNED AND HE
WILL I COULD NOT LIVE OUT THE
YEAR. THIS WEEK I THOUGHT HE
WAS ONE. OF THE MANY WHO TESTED
POSITIVE. THINKING OF LINE MORE
SIXTY EIGHT. A FRIEND WAS
MENTORED HUNDREDS OF OTHERS
BOTH INCARCERATED AND AFTER HIS
FORTY TWO YEARS IN PRISON. HE
CREATE ITSELF- PROGRAMMING THAT
IS PREPARED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
FOR RELEASE. AND I'M THINKING
OF PATRICIA RIGHT A CIW SIXTY
NINE AND CHEMOTHERAPY WITH LESS
THAN SIX MONTHS TO LIVE ALSO. I
SAY WITH ALL DUE RESPECT THAT
NONE OF THESE INDIVIDUALS I'M
NAMING FOR ALL SERVING
SENTENCES FOR VIOLENT FELONIES
ARE A THREAT TO PUBLIC SAFETY
TODAY. IN EACH OF THESE PEOPLE
LIKE SCORES OF OTHERS WE HEAR
FROM HAVE FAMILIES THEY CAN
RETURN TO IMMEDIATE. RESPONSE
TO THE OUTBREAK STANDPOINT HAS
MOVED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE TO THE
WHOLE OR AN OUTSIDE HOSPITAL.
IN FAMILY THIS TIME THE WICKER
DIMITRIUS MCGEE JUAN CARLOS
MASON THE DLC FUENTES AND TOO
MANY OTHERS DO NOT KNOW THEIR
STATUS FOR EXACT LOCATION.
FAMILIES TRY TO GET INFORMATION
ON THE STATUS OF THEIR LOVED
ONE STAFF IS NOT RETURNING
EMAILS ARE ANSWERING PHONE
CALLS. AND PEOPLE AYE INSIDE I
HEAR THAT PLACING THEM IN THE
HOLE FOR BEING SICK IS NOT THE
ANSWER. NEAR MOVED THEIR
PROPERTIES PLACED IN STORAGE
AND ARE GIVEN A SHEET A BLANKET
IN A BAR SO. THE SALES ARE THEY
ARE BEING PLACED IN OUR DIRTY
IN A RUSH TO PACK EVERYTHING UP
GUARDS ARE LOSING WHAT FEW
FAMILY MEMENTOS AND PERSONAL
ITEMS. INSIDER CLOUT. NOT THIS
COMMITTEES HIGHLIGHTING THE CDC
OUR CONTINUED PARTNERSHIP WITH
ICE. CDC ARE IS THE PRIMARY
SOURCE OF NEW BOOKINGS FOR EYES
FACILITIES. ONE IN THREE PEOPLE
TESTED BY AYE AYES HAVE BEEN
FOUND POSITIVE FOR THE VIRUS.
AT SAN QUENTIN ONE OF THE WORST
OUTBREAKS IS A CURRENT ON DEATH
ROW WITH FAMILY MEMBERS OF LOVE
ONE SOUNDED THE ALARM AT A
RECENT TOWN HALL. SANITATION IS
NOT BEING PROPERLY ATTENDED TO
AND STAFF ARE WORKING OVERTIME
IN THE AREA AFTER WORKING OTHER
SECTIONS OF THE PRISON. IT'S
HEARTBREAKING IN RESPONSE IS TO
SET UP SIX TENS AND CREATE A
MODEST PLAN TO RELEASE PEOPLE
NOT BASED UPON WHO WAS MOST
VULNERABLE IT'S NT BASED UPON
PRIORITIZING THE ELDERLY IT'S
NOT EVEN BASED UPON THE CDC
OURS COMPREHENSIVE RISK
ASSESSMENT WHO IS LEAST LIKELY
TO COMMIT VIOLENCE A RESERVE A-
INSTEAD. THEY HAVE A PLAN IS
BASED UPON THE CRIME A PERSON
COMMITTED EVEN IF IT WERE
TWENTY THIRTY OR FORTY YEARS
AGO. AND THE FACT THAT A PERSON
HAPPENS TO HAVE A RELEASE DATE
SOON. IT'S OBVIOUS THAT CDC ARE
DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE REAL
THREAT HERE. I WAS EXCITED TO
CENTER TO REQUIRE IS CONVENING
AN ALL HANDS ON DECK MEETING
TONIGHT I WANT TO OFFER MYSELF
AS WELL AS OTHER ADVOCATES AS A
RESOURCE TO SHARE REENTRY
RESOURCES I WOULD LOVE TO
ATTEND TONIGHT. THANKS FOR YOUR
IDEAS HAS CREATED A NEW UNIFIED
COMMAND CENTER. AND I WOULD
REFER TO THAT TEAM THE JUNE
FIFTEEN URGENT MEMO BY BERKELEY
HEALTH OFFICIALS THEY SAID IF
THE INCARCERATION NUMBERS AT
SAN QUENTIN ARE NOT REDUCE BY
AT LEAST FIFTY PERCENT.
OUTBREAK WILL OVERWHELM THE
ENTIRE BAY AREA. THIS OUTBREAK
IS ST CLINTON. LIKE TWO ONCE A
CORPORATE C. I. WCCC ARE
ATTRIBUTED TO HUMAN ERROR. BUT
THOSE OF US WHO HAS SPENT TIME
IN SAN QUENTIN NO THE OUTBREAK
WAS INEVITABLE. BECAUSE THE CDC
OURS COVERT RESPONSE PLAN IS
INSUFFICIENT AND FUNDAMENTALLY
FLAWED. UNTIL WE COME TO TERMS
WITH THE FACT THAT LARGE SCALE
RELEASES ARE NECESSARY FOR THE
SAFETY NOT JUST OF THOSE INSIDE
BUT THE ENTIRE STATE. THIS
PROBLEM WILL NOT GO AWAY IN
BOTH INCARCERATED AND NON
INCARCERATED PEOPLE WILL DIE.
THANK YOU. MISTER KING THANK
YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR A
HEARTFELT AND ACCURATE REMARKS
NOW WE WILL HEAR FROM- GLENN
STALEY WHO IS THE PRESIDENT OF

COURSE OVER TIME. WE WITNESS
STRESS LEVELS ANXIETY. FEAR
INCREASED AMOUNTS ARE RAINS
THESE CONDITIONS ARE ACTUALLY
SO SHOULD WITH OUR JOB DUTIES.
BUT THE FEAR SPACE. YOUR IT
DERIVES THE WORRY OF BRING IN
THIS DISEASE HOME TO OUR
FAMILIES AND LOVED ONES AS A
RESULT THIS IS SITUATION. THE
MEASURE TO BE PROACTIVE IN KEEP
IN THE MEMBER SAVE. IN ITS
EARLY ONSET THE MEDIA GDC R. A
C. H. C. S. WAS RELEASING
INFORMATION THAT WAS NOT ALWAYS
PERFECTLY ALIGNED. IS
CONFLICTING INFORMATION LET
TERM MEMBERS TO BE I'M SURE OF
THE VITAL FACTORS SUCH AS
WEATHER IN OCTOBER NINETEEN.
WAS AN AIRBORNE OR DROP A
TRANSMISSION HOW LONG THE VIRUS
LAOS WHETHER OR NOT MASS
PROTECTION WAS NECESSARY. I
NEEDED TO BE QUARANTINE AND THE
MOST SUITABLE WEIGHT SOCIAL
DISTANCE IN A PRISON SETTING.
AS AN EXAMPLE A DISCREPANT
INFORMATION WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE
FACILITIES ATTEMPTING TO
ADDRESS A NUMBER OF ISSUES YET
IMPLEMENTING THE POLICY VARYING
WAYS WHICH HAS LED TO DO AS FAR
RIGHT WELL YOU'RE BASIS WE DO
TAKE THE- YEAH WE CAN CALL. DE
IN HIS MANAGEMENT JUDGE CERTAIN
POLICY ALSO LIKE TO STRESS THE
FACT THAT MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE.
CONCLUSION WE WANT OUR MEMBERS
TO HAVE A SAFE WORK
ENVIRONMENT. THIS REQUIRES A
BETTER DECISION MAKING FROM THE
DEPARTMENT THE CHECKER WHEN IT
COMES TO TRANSFERS. THERE'S
BEEN MISCONCEPTION THAT WE
BELIEVE CO IN NINETEEN. IS
NOTHING MORE THAN A HOAX OR
SOME MADE UP CONSPIRACY. I WANT
TO MAKE. WRONG STATEMENT AS
SAYS THAT'S NOT THE CASE WE
HAVE SPENT OVER A MILLION
DOLLARS ON P. T. OUR MEMBERS
AND THEIR FAMILIES. I ALONG
WITH MORE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
MEMBERS BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
UP AND DOWN THE STATE. OF
CALIFORNIA TO PERSONALLY
DELIVER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT IN
THREE DIFFERENT WAYS. I'M GLAD
TO HEAR THE RECEIVERSHIP
INSPECTOR DHEAS NEUROLOGISTS
THAT OUR OFFICERS HAVE BEEN
WEARING THE MASK AND TO SAY
OTHERWISE IS A MISCALCULATION.
FRANKLY INSULTING MY TWENTY
FIVE YEARS AS A CRACK OFFICER
THERE'S NEVER BEEN A TIME WHERE
ON THE WHOLE OFFICER IMMEDIATE
NEEDS. SURE THE COMMON THREAD.
HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF OUR
OFFICERS ARE PRIORITY. BUT WE
NEED TO ENSURE THE WELL BEING
OF EVERYONE IN THE INSTITUTION.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORK WITH
THE LEGISLATORS IN TO RECONCILE
THESE ISSUES AND WITH THAT I'LL
BE HAPPY TAKING QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU MISTER SEARS- I THINK
WE'LL HEAR FROM THE DOCTOR AND
THEN I'M SURE SOME MEMBERS WILL
HAVE QUESTIONS APPRECIATE I
MEAN MISTER STALEY SORRY-
APPRECIATE YOUR PARTICIPATION
TEST. BUT IF YOU GO NOW TO
DOCTOR SEARS WHO IS- AS I
MENTIONED AT UCSF DOCTOR IN
PART OF THE GROUP CALLED AMEND
AND WHO IS- ASKED BY THE
RECEIVER TO GO TO- SAN QUENTIN.
AND I BELIEVE IT WAS ON JUNE-
MID JUNE THEY RELEASED THEIR-
AIR RECOMMEND REPORT THEIR
OBSERVATIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS SO DOCTOR SEARS.
I'M CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE THANK YOU FOR
INVITING ME TO MAKE A STATEMENT
ON THE TRAGEDY HOLDING STATE
PERSON. I WOULD LIKE TO
EMPHASIZE I BELIEVE THE
COMMITTEE BUT I BELIEVE THE
COMMITTEE ALREADY UNDERSTANDS
NOT THAT WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
CONTROL KOBE NINETEEN IN
CALIFORNIA UNTIL WE ADDRESS
WHAT IS HAPPENING INSIDE
PRISONS AND JAILS. YOUR AS A
REPRESENTATIVE OF A MAN YES.
MEN'S CLOTHING CALIFORNIA
PRISONS PROGRAM COMPRISES
ACADEMICS AND HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS WITH EXPERTISE
INFECTIOUS DISEASES GERIATRICS
PUBLIC HEALTH. HEALTH SYSTEMS
AND EPIDEMIOLOGY FROM UCSF UC
BERKELEY. IS IT SAN QUENTIN ON
JUNE THIRTEENTH AT THE REQUEST
OF THE FEDERAL RECEIVER'S
OFFICE AT THE TIME THERE KNOWN
CASE COUNT WAS SIXTEEN. BASED
ON OUR VISIT AND HOW THE
OUTBREAK IS INVOLVED SINCE THEN
WE MAKE THE FOLLOWING PRIMARY
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE
COMMITTEE FOR HOW TO ENSURE
THAT THE PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE
TO KOBE TEEN IN PRISONS. IS
ANSWER IT TO THE GRAVE THREAT.
FIRST DEVELOP A CENTRALIZED
COVER NINETEEN OUTBREAK
EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM I WILL
SAY THAT I'M PLEASED TO HEAR
THAT THIS IS URGENTLY BEING
CREATED AND I HAVE SPECIFIC
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE TEAM
THIS TEAM SORTIE TO MAKE PUBLIC
HEALTH BASED DECISIONS IN. IT
SHOULD WORK IN THE BODY DIRT
BOND TO AN OUTBREAK PRISONS
WITHOUT BRAKES NEED A DEDICATED
EXPERIENCE ALL TIME TEAM WITH
KNOWLEDGE OF CORRECTIONAL
HEALTH AND SPECIFIC EXPERTISE.
ORDER TO ADDRESS SPECIFIC
VULNERABILITIES THAT BEEN FOUND
THIS TEAM SHOULD INCLUDE THE
FOLLOWING POSITIONS NUMBER ONE.
ENVIRONMENT KERRY LEAD
OPTIMIZES VENTILATION
SANITATION AND PATIENT FLOW IN
THE PRESENT TO MITIGATE CODED
NINETEEN SPREAD THROUGH.
AGAINST INFECTION CONTROL
PRACTICES NUMBER TWO HEALTH
CARE CUSTODY COORDINATION.
ORDERS WITH CUSTODY TO ASSESS
ON A DAILY BASIS HOUSING AND
RESIDENCE FOR MEDICAL ISOLATION
AND QUARANTINE AT THE
DISCRETION OF THE MEDICAL
LEADERSHIP. VERSE THREE KOBE
TESTING LEAD TO COORDINATE
TESTING OF ALL RESIDENTS HEALTH
CARE STAFF IN CUSTODY IN WHO
INSURES RAPID TESTING TURN
AROUND TIME. NUMBER FOUR A
STAFF HEALTH CARE LIAISON LEAD
TO COHORT STAFF AND TRAIN
APPROPRIATE PP USE IN INFECTION
CONTROL MEASURES NUMBER FIVE IN
ACADEMIA ALL JUST ANALYST WHO
TRACKS IN REVIEWS LINE LISTING
OF ACTIVE AND RESOLVED CASES.
SEC RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE
URGENT A KERR SERRATION TO
ADDRESS OVERCROWDING THIS IS
PARTICULARLY CRITICAL IT SEEMED
QUINN IN ANY PRISON
PREFERENTIALLY HOUSES AGING AND
MEDICALLY COMPLEX PATIENTS SUCH
TO CALIFORNIA MEDICAL COOLEY
THE CALIFORNIA HEALTH CARE
FACILITY. WHAT RECOMMENDED THE
PRISON POPULATION POINT B.
URGENTLY REDUCE TO AT LEAST 50%
OF THE CURRENT CAPACITY.
FRANKLY IT'S HARD TO UNDERSTAND
HOW RESIDENTS AND STAFF CAN
SAFELY CONTINUE LIVING WORKING
IN SAN QUENTIN AT ALL. THAT
SAID IT WAS IMPORTANT MAY HAVE
UNIQUE OWN ABILITIES TO
CONVERSATION IS FOUNDATIONAL TO
CALL THE NINETEEN MEDICATION
ANY PRESENT. ALL REMAINING
RECOMMENDATIONS ARE ABSOLUTELY
DEPENDENT UPON G. CAR SERRATION.
SIX REALLY ENCOURAGE THE
COMMITTEE MEMBERS EVERY TIME
YOU HEAR THE WORDS ACCORDING I
SAW. CORD ALL OF THAT SHOULD
LEAD TO YOU THINKING THE
QUESTION OF HOW AND HOW TO DO
THAT CONTROLS THE CAR
SITUATION. OR EIGHTEEN
ISOLATION OF PATIENTS THE TANK
NGUYEN IN ANY PRISON IS LIKE A
DELICATE CAME. CALIFORNIA
PRISONS ARE ALREADY OVER 1100%
CAPACITY EVERY SQUARE AND THAT
TRANSPORT HAS ONE OR TWO PIECES
ALREADY ON IT. THIS MAKES
DISTRICT MOVEMENT OF RESIDENTS
NEARLY AND HOW. AS A RESULT WE
MUST KEEP POPULATE ALL OF OUR
PRISONS MEDIA WE HAVE ANY HOPE
OF WINNING. WHAT IS HAPPENED
IT'S- HOW. OTHER THE FOUNDATION
OF COAL NINETEEN MITIGATION THE
CAN. DIFFICULT DISTANCING
CASTING TO ISOLATE CASES IN
QUARANTINE EXPOSED PEOPLE NONE
OF THESE ANY STANDARD PUBLIC
HEALTH MEASURES CAN BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT SPACE. AS
A RESULT RAPIDLY BECAUSE REGION
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA PRISONS
ISN'T URGENT PUBLIC HEALTH
MEASURE PROTECT PEOPLE WHO ARE
ARE SERRATED CORRECTIONAL STAFF.
AND OUR COMMUNITIES. THIRD
RECOMMENDED IS TO IMMEDIATELY
DEVELOP PLANNED TO SUPPORT CAST
AND PROTECT DISABILITY STAFF
WERE JUST AS VULNERABLE TO
INFECTION IN WHO MAY TRANSMIT
KOBE NINETEEN. INSIDE THE
PRISON AND IN COMMUNITY THE%
CURRENT OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
CONTRACT AT SAN QUENTIN DOES
NOT ALIGN WITH THE STAFF NEEDS
TO THE CORPORATE NINETEEN
PANDEMIC. CONSEQUENTLY OVER
YOUR APARTMENT PUBLIC TESTING
COMMUNICATIONS WHICH WE'VE
HEARD SOME ABOUT TODAY FOR
CONGREGATE SETTINGS DURING AN
OPERATE. CASTING ALL STAFF
EVERY WEEK. IN ADDITIONALLY
OFFICE INSTEAD MUST BE. COLD AT
WORK ONLY SPECIFIC HOUSING
UNITS OR OTHER PHYSICAL SPACES
WITH THE SAME SENSE OF
RESIDENTS TO MINIMIZE THE RISK
OF SPREADING QUICKLY NINETEEN
WITHIN THE PRISON. SO TO
SUMMARIZE WHAT CAN BE DONE NOW
AT SAN QUENTIN HANDED PRISONS
ACROSS THE STATE. NUMBER ONE
IMMEDIATELY CONVENE THIS CALL
BUT NINETEEN OUTBREAK REGENCY

I'VE DESCRIBED. TO IMMEDIATELY
AND SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE
PRISON POPULATION RUDY
PERSPIRATION. NUMBER THREE.
IMPROVE MEASURES TO CAST COHORT.
OFFICERS AND STOP. LIKE TO
CLOSE BY DESCRIBING WHAT WAS
REALLY HAUNTING EXPERIENCES WE
LESS SANGUINE AFTER. MEN WORK
WE I THINK A LOT DOORS HELP. MY
STILL FREQUENTLY HEAR THEM
SHOUTING PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
HELP US I CAN STILL REMEMBER
THE LOOK OF SHOCK FOR BOATING
ON THE FACES OF THE OFFICERS
THAT COULD NOT KEEP IN MIND A
MATCH. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE
PHYSICAL EMOTIONAL TOLD THE
OPRY GET SAMPLING WHAT'S TAKEN
THE CORRECTIONAL HEALTH CARE
STAFF WORKING THERE. MOST
IMPORTANTLY ON THE RESIDENTS
AND THEIR FAMILIES THAT ARE
SUBJECT TO THESE DANGEROUS
CONDITIONS. FOURTEEN AMEND
FURLAN FIRMLY BELIEVES THE
PRISONS ARE A REFLECTION OF WHO
WE ARE SOCIETY. IS UPON ALL OF
US RESPOND IMMEDIATELY. PRO
ACTIVELY ADDRESS THIS TRAGEDY
TO PREVENT IT FROM UNFOLDING
AGAIN AND AGAIN AROUND THE
STATE. KING KONG WAS NOT THE
FIRST PERSON TO BE TESTED BY
KOBE NINETEEN UNFORTUNATELY
WON'T BE THE LAST. PLEASE
CONTINUE TO CALL IN OUR GROUP
THAT AND IF WE CAN BE OF
ASSISTANCE THANK YOU AND I'M
HAPPY TO TAKE QUESTIONS. THANK
YOU DOCTOR SEARS- LET ME SEE IF
ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE
QUESTIONS. GO AHEAD SENATOR
MITCHELL. THE TESTIMONY WAS
QUITE COMPELLING ALONG ON
WONDER RAIN AND MAYBE IT'S
REALLY QUESTION IF YOU ARE
MADAM CHAIR OF WHAT WE CAN DO.
TO ENCOURAGE REQUIRE THE KIND
OF TASK FORCE THAT DOCTOR FEARS
DELINEATE DELINEATE DELINEATED
IN HIS LIST OF THINGS TO DO IT
WAS IT WAS NUMBER ONE SECOND OF
COURSE ADDITIONAL SO YEAH I'M
NOT PATH. WHAT WHAT CAN. BUT
AFFECT CHOICE THAT. THURMAN
CHOI IT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION
AND I THINK THE NUMBER OF US
WHILE WHILE OBVIOUSLY IN YOUR
LETTERS TO JPL FROM TLC. YOU
DID NOT TESTIFIED WHAT YOU
THINK SHOULD BE IN THEIR PLAN
BUT YOU HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR A
PLANNED FOR ALL THIS TIME AND
WE DIDN'T GET ONE YET NOW IN
THE LETTER SO I SENT. I DID
TALK ABOUT RELEASE BECAUSE OF
JUST THE KNOWLEDGE OF. THE THAT
WE KNOW THAT TO CONTAIN THE
DISEASE YOU HAVE TO HAVE
APPROPRIATE FISCAL DISTANCING
AND THAT WOULD THAT WAS NOT
GOING TO BE ABLE TO BE ACHIEVED
IN MANY OF OUR FACILITIES AND
WE THOSE WITH LIKES THINGS AND
IF YOU THINK ABOUT THAT THEY
HAD INITIALLY THE WORST
OUTBREAKS WERE THOSE WITH TYPE
OF. THING SO. I KNOW THAT ANY
INCIDENT WHAT WE ARE KNOW
BECAUSE DOCTOR GOLLY DESCRIBED
TO US IS GOING TO BE SET UP WE
COULD CONSIDER WHETHER IT'S OUR
COMMITTEE OR WHETHER EVEN JBL
SEE OR TO- A LETTER THAT- DEAD
SPACE. SOME OF THE THINGS THAT
WE THINK MIGHT BE MIGHT NEED TO
BE IN THIS PLAN AND THE
INCIDENT COMMAND SHOULD DEAL
WITH. I APPRECIATE THAT AND I
GUESS REALLY MY- AT AND I DON'T
FULLY EXPECT TO HAVE THE ANSWER
BUT I GUESS MY POINT WAS.
WRITING LETTERS HASN'T ANYWHERE
RIGHT YOU'RE RIGHT. WHICH IS
PART IN ANDREAS SEVEN WONDERING
YEAH. GOOD POINT IF IT- LET
DESPITE OUR I'M I'M YOU KNOW
THINKING OUT LOUD WHICH YOU
PROBABLY SHOULDN'T DO IN A
PUBLIC HEARING MADAM CHAIR. BUT
WE AT. THING LETTERS ARE NO
LONGER WRITER URATE AND SELL IT
AND I AGREE AND IT'S BEEN A- I
HAVE BEEN A PART OF. FACES WITH
YOU AND THE SECRETARY THE ISSUE
OF RELIEF FOR YOU HAVE
REPEATEDLY REMINDED US ALL
RELEASES ARE HAPPY THAT IT
HAPPENED. A LEASES THAT WHAT. I
PREFER EIGHT ON THE FOCUS ON
SAN QUENTIN APPROPRIATELY FELL
BUT WE'VE ALSO HEARD FROM MR
CAL SO ABOUT THE SYSTEM WIDE.
SO AT THE END. DOT PIERCING.
YOU KNOW STRIKE FOR THE LACK OF
A BETTER WORD. TO DEAL WITH THE
SYSTEM WIDE. PANDEMIC INTERNAL
PANDEMIC ALMOND SO PERHAPS YOU
LIKE IN THAT CONVERSATION
OFFLINE TALK TO LEADERSHIP TO
FIGURE OUT. WHAT NEXT SELECT
THANK YOU CAN DO TOM TO COME
KATE OUR EXPECTATIONS THANK YOU
KNOW I APPRECIATE THE NIGHT
YOU'RE POINTING OUT WANT AN
INDOOR. ONE SIX SO I DID IT THE
BEGINNING OF THE- THAT YES OR
RISER FOCUSED ON SAN QUENTIN
HOWEVER. AN END YOU KNOW WE
WERE HAPPY TO HEAR OF THE
CONTAINMENT AT LANCASTER AND
SUCH. BUT JUST THE NATURE OF
OUR FACILITIES. THIS COULD
HAPPEN IN. AND MY THIS MUST BE
DEALT WITH AS A SYSTEM WIDE IT
CANNOT BE SOLELY AND ONLY FOR
SAN QUENTIN SO I TOTALLY AGREE
WITH YOU. THE BASED IN. THE
WORK EIGHT ONCE AGAIN. OF
BECAUSE OR ARE- PUBLIC SAFETY
TRAILER BILL HE'S STILL ON THE
TWO WAS NOT PASSED BY THE
SECOND HOUSE YET. WE HAVE THE
DOZEN STATUTE RIGHT NOW MEDICAL
ELDERLY PAROLE. AND NOW WHEN IT
WAS DESIGNED IT WASN'T I DON'T
THINK WE NECESSARILY THOUGHT OF
IT IN RELATIONSHIP. TO TWO
PANDEMIC LIKE THIS I THINK THE
MIDDLE PEOPLE HAD DIFFERENT
MOTIVATIONS OBVIOUSLY BUT PART
OF THE THINKING AT THE TIME
THAT IT WAS DEVELOPED WAS THE
FACT THAT OUR PRINTING COSTS.
OUR STATE BUDGET FIRST YOUR UP
EXPONENTIALLY AND LARGELY DUE
TO THE TO THESE LARGE
HEALTHCARE COSTS OF THESE VERY
MEDICALLY FRAGILE PEOPLE IN
VERY ELDERLY PEOPLE AND JUSTICE
IN THE REST OF THE POCKET. AND
SO THERE WAS THE NET. IF WE
COULD X. COULD NOT JUST EXPAND
WE HAD NO MEDICAL AN ELDERLY
PRO UNTIL THAT STATUTE WAS
PASSED. NOW YOU KNOW I'VE NOW
ASK IT. THAT STRUCTURE BEEN
PAST THERE HAVE BEEN VERY VERY.
IT REALLY PAROLED UNDER THOSE.
AND HERE WE ARE IN THIS
PANDEMIC THAT STATUTE IS STILL
AVAILABLE TO CDC ARE IN YET
WHEN I PASSED A SECRETARY DS
ABOUT IT EXPLICITLY PROX
WILLIAM TO GO. TO ME THAT'S THE
EIGHT PEOPLE RECOMMENDED BUT
WHEN I ASKED HIM FOR THE TIME
PERIOD HE SAID IT WAS SEVENTY
EIGHT THAT WERE RECOMMENDED
BACK IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN AND NON
SITS. DOWN THOSE. VERY FEW WERE
ACTUALLY SUCCESSFUL ONCE BEFORE
THE PROBOARDS AND I THINK IT'S
VERY IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO
UNDERSTAND. THAT THE MEDICAL ON
THE PEARL DOESN'T JUST LET
PEOPLE BE RELEASED THE START TO
GO FOR THE PRO ABOARD IN THE
PROBE NOT EVEN ACTING. AND
CERTAINLY GIVEN THAT WE KNOW.
THAT THE DEATH RATE IS HIGHER
FOR MEDICALLY FRAGILE AN
ELDERLY PEOPLE. THEN IT ONLY
MAKES SENSE FOR US TO USE THIS
FOR THE DEPARTMENT AND THE
ADMINISTRATION TO YOU THE
STATUTORY TOOLS THAT WE HAVE
GIVEN THEM I'M- ALSO. BEEN OUT
AND I'M SO I. THE POPE TIME
BECAUSE I TO GET TO THEM. BUT I
WOULD ALSO POINT OUT THAT YOU
KNOW IT COST US RIGHT NOW. IN
THE INCARCERATED IN TO HOW THEM
AND- IF WE WERE TO DO A DEEP
BECAUSE OF THIS PUBLIC CRISES.
PARK FOR THEM ALL WOULD BE FOR
LESS FAR LESS AND WE ALSO HEARD.
TIMES ABOUT STAFFING SHORTAGES
WHICH SURPRISE ME BECAUSE WE
HAVE A VERY NUMBER OF STAFF IN
OUR. A PRISON SYSTEM IN A CD
SURE SO BUT IF IN FACT THERE
ARE STARTING SHORTAGES. IN WHAT
BETTER TO YOU. THESE TOOLS WE
HAVE. DEEP ACOSTA THE HEALTH OF
EVERYONE. AND FIGURE OUT
HOUSING A DIFFERENT SETTING SO
ALL OF THOSE THINGS I THINK ARE
SENT BUT BY TOTALLY TO SAN
MITCHELL LETTERS ALONE NOW
ENOUGH HOPEFULLY AND I DON'T
HOPEFULLY I I'M BROKEN HER
ABOUT ALL OF IT. AND I. FOR THE
IS ICE IN MY STE. THAT STATE.
THEY MUST BE. IN PLEASE BEING
CURSED IN INDIVIDUALS IN THE
CARS IN THE ALL OF US FOR SOME
SIDE ABOUT THE PANDA. ARRAY
LIMITATIONS ON ALL OF US IN A
MAY THOSE TYPES SETTINGS AND
THE ONLY OTHER I GUESS ALL ASK
THE QUESTION INSTEAD OF JUST IT.
BUT IF THREE. IF EITHER IF ANY
OF THE PAIN. ONE TWO. WANT TO
BE TESTED SO WHAT I WANT TO
KNOW IS IF YOU ARE TESTED SO
FOR EXAMPLE IN SAN QUENTIN THEN
YOU ARE POSITIVE THEN WHAT WHAT
HAPPENS IN A I'VE HEARD SOME.
ARTS OF WHAT WHAT CIRCUMSTANCE
YOU'RE PUT IN THE NET THAT MAY
BE CONTRIBUTING TO PEOPLE
CHOOSING NOT TO BE TESTED BUT I
WOULD APPRECIATE IF THERE WAS
ANY OF THE PEOPLE. IN THE LAST
PANEL WHO COULD ANSWER THAT
QUESTION FOR. SO THERE COULD BE
EITHER MISTER LEWIS MISTER
KING. FOR MISTER STALEY. OR
DOCTOR SEARS. THANK YOU. MADAM
CHAIR SO I KNOW AND REALLY
INSTITUTIONS TESTED POSITIVE
WHAT HI I RECEIVED PHONE CALLS
WITH THAT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS
IF YOU TESTED POSITIVE BE
QUARANTINED IN YOUR SO. IF YOU
ARE THEY WOULD PUT ON HAPPEN AT
SOME STRESS. AND THEN YOU'D BE
QUARANTINE JUNIOR YOURSELF
KESSLER WE WANT TO YOUR SALE
AND THEN WHEN THE RESULTS CAME.
IF THEY REMAIN POTS YOU WERE
FORM TEAM FORTY DAYS IF YOU IF
YOU DID NOT JUST DâN POINTING
SO I WILL TAKING I ALSO WANTED
TO SHOW. SOMETHING ELSE WITH
YOU AND THE COMMITTEE THERE ARE.
THINGS WE'VE GOT TO GOVERNOR
HOW ABOUT THE POWER OF
COMPUTATION THEY'VE ALREADY
BEEN GIVEN- LIKE HIGH STANDARDS
FROM THE WHARTON EVERYBODY DOWN
AT THE SYSTEMS WHICH IS S. MOST
A LARGE NUMBER. FIFTY THE
INSTITUTIONS THESE PEOPLE ARE
GOOD TO GO THERE NOT PUBLIC
SAFETY ONLY THING A SUPPLEMENT
DISTRICT ATTORNEYS IN THESE
DIFFERENT COMPANIES THAT WON'T
PUT UP A FIGHT ONE PERSON
SHOULDN'T EVEN BE IN PRISON ONE.
OKAY I'M- EIGHT. I DO
UNDERSTAND FROM FAMILIES
SERVING CORSET INDIVIDUALS THAT
MANY. OF THOSE WHO ARE
INCARCERATED- HAVE SEEN THAT
THOSE PEOPLE SOME PEOPLE BEING
TESTED POSITIVE FOR PUTTING
POLITICS AND SUCH AND HAVE A
LOT OF FEAR ABOUT THAT SO IT
COULD ALL THE THINGS YOU
DESCRIBED A MATCH MORE COULD BE
CONTRIBUTING TO PAY. FOLKS TO
BE TESTED I'VE FOR. MR SO ARE
NERVE CC WAY I'M YOU DESCRIBE
HAVING TO BUY. THE QUICKNESS
BUT BASS. DOES THE DOES FUEL
THAT THE STAFF BE GIVEN PROP.
CHECK PP PROPER QUIT PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT. THANK YOU WELL
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION IN THE
BEGINNING I WAS COATED WE HAD.
GREAT CONCERNS ABOUT THE PP YOU
GET PASSED ON TO THEIR
MEMBERSHIP AND- WE IMMEDIATELY
TAKE THIS SO WE NEED TO PROTECT
AND DEFEND OUR FAMILIES SO AT
THAT TIME WE PURCHASED THE- IN
NINETY FIVE MASS THEN WE WENT
OUT. AND PURCHASED- THE- CALLED
MASS FOR MEMBERS AND THEIR
FAMILIES AND THEN WE BOB THE-
NEIL TRAIN IN OUR FIVE RE
USABLE- OUTSIDE OUT WE JUST
FELT AS AN ORGANIZATION THAT AS
A FAMILY- OUR BROTHERS AND
SISTERS ESERVER EVERYTHING AND-
WE FELT LIKE WE- GET IT OUT
QUICK. PAYING ATTENTION. TO
LOWER EVERY DAY CIRCUMSTANCES.
I'M I THINK THE LEGISLATURE
WILL APPRECIATE KNOWING IF AT
ANY POINT THERE IS THE SENSE
THAT THERE'S NOT BEING ADEQUATE
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. REPEATED
BECAUSE CLEARLY CHECK THE
REQUIREMENT IS NOT ONLY
ESSENTIAL FOR THE STAFF BUT
ESSENTIAL FOR THE INCARCERATED
INDIVIDUALS- SO THAT EVERYONE
IS SO WE CAN AGAIN CONTAIN THIS
DISK SO APPRECIATE IF YOU'RE
FILL US IN. I HAVE ONE LAST
QUESTION FOR DOCTOR SEARS AND

DENNIS. OF COURSE POINT IN THE
TRAGIC HAPPEN THERE. IS REALLY
AS THE PANEL AT. REALLY A
QUESTION OF FAILURE TO
COMMUNICATE AS THEY SAID. AND
ALSO- MINIMIZING THE MEDICAL
VOICE WHICH- DOCTOR SEARS
ALLUDED TO A FEW MINUTES AGO.
THIS IS A PANDEMIC AND WE'VE
SEEN IN THE REST OF THIS
COUNTRY. WHEN THE NURSING HOMES
A SPREAD OUT THAT IT WASN'T-
THE BILL TO THE POLITICAL
MINDED APPEAR CRADDICK MINDSETS
EXIT. IT WAS A MEDICAL- JUST
MAKING THE EPIDEMIOLOGISTS
SEPARATED PEOPLE AND HAD LESS

LISTEN TO ACTIVELY. NOT WELL
WRITTEN UP AS MEMBERS IN MARCH
WERE FOR- COMPLAINING ABOUT PP
OR IN CHINO CA I AM. WHEN WE
NOTICED THERE WERE TOO MANY
AROUND THING ON. BUT ALSO TO
MAKE COMMENTS ON THE ENTIRE-
PANORAMA OF WHAT IS HAPPENING
HERE. IT HAS COME TO MY
ATTENTION THAT THE FIVE. IN
TRANSFERRED ORIGINALLY IN MAY.
THE REASON THIS WAS WAS TO-
IMPROVE THE ACCESS FOR THE MATH
PROGRAM THE I. S. U. G. KEEP
PROGRAM. WHICH WAS A UP FULLER
PREVENTIVE PROGRAMS- THE COST
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
TO THE TAX HERE. AND IS AN
UNPROVEN. IS ROLLED OUT THE USE
OF SUBOXONE. NO WE- WE KNOW
THAT THE REASON FOR THE
TRANSFER WAS WAS. IN A WILL
PART DUE TO THE RECEPTION SAID
TAKE CARE THESE. TAKE HERE. A
FOR YOUR- TO THE MAIN LINE SO I
CAN QUITE. BIT CARSON
UNEXPECTED PROBLEM. WHEN THE
TRIP AND OCCURRED WHICH PEOPLE
WHO WEREN'T TESTED RIGHT
IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE TRANSFER
WE ALREADY KNOW THAT. SO WHEN
YOU LOOK AT THE WHOLE. WAITED
TO CDC OURS RUN- WE WANT
MEDICAL INPUT- WE WOULD HAVE
LIKED TO HAVE HAD THE DECISION-
WHAT THE ISSUE IS IN A MAD
PROGRAM THE ADDICTION PROGRAM
WHY WHY THE TRANSFER START IN
THE FIRST PLACE. AND ALEX ALEX
WHAT'S BUT MY MESSAGE HERE BUT
WE NEED INPUT NOT ONLY ON WHEN
THE EMERGENCIES IN THE WILD
FIRES OCCUR. BUT WHAT CARD THE
WILD FIRES. AND WE DON'T HAVE
BEEN PUT ON TO AN UNPROVEN
PROGRAM LIKE THE M. EIGHTY

CONSEQUENCES BAKER. THANK YOU

IN LATE MARCH WHEN THERE WAS
LITERALLY LESS THAN OR ONLY TWO
OR THREE CASES. THIS STATE
INCLUDING THE GOVERNOR WILL
PRESENTED A SWORN DECLARATION
FROM. NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED
PRISON PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS
SAID THAT A MEDIA POPULATION
REDUCTION WAS NECESSARY TO SAVE
LIVES GIVEN THE CODE BUT
NINETEEN PANDEMIC. THE STATE
INCLUDING THE OWNER SAID NO.
AND IN PART THEY SAID IT'S
BECAUSE WE'RE PLANNING TO DO
EARLY RELEASES OURSELVES BUT
BUILT EARLY RELEASES. EVERY TO
ONLY A HUNDRED PEOPLE PER
PRISON. IN INSTITUTIONS THAT
AVERAGE ABOUT TWO THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED PEOPLE EACH IN OTHER
WORDS IT WAS ALMOST NOT
NOTICEABLE AND THEN THOSE
RELEASES STOCK. THANKS ASHLEY

OF ALL TWENTY TWO. PEOPLE ARE
NOW DEAD. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO
THE EXPERTS AT THE UNIVERSITY
OF CALIFORNIA SAN FRANCISCO
SAID THAT SAME QUESTION NEEDED
TO IMMEDIATELY HAVE IT'S
POPULATIONS REDUCE. THAT AGAIN
DID NOT HAPPEN AND WE SEE NOW
WHAT IS. THAT PERSON WITH MORE
THAN ONE THOUSAND TRACK DIDN'T

GREAT NUMBERS OF PEOPLE. WHO
ARE IN DANGER OF COKE AT
NINETEEN. STARTING WITH THE
CALIFORNIA MEDICAL FACILITY IN
BACK OF BILL THAT THE- MEGA
MEDICAL FACILITY IN STOCK THEN
AND THERE ARE OTHER PRISONS
LIKE SAND CLINTON WITH THE OLD
STYLE FIVE HERE CELL BLOCKS.

DOOR WHERE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
BE VULNERABLE. THERE IS STILL
TIME IN THE STATE NEEDS TO TAKE
ACTION. TO REDUCE THE PRISON
POPULATION PARTICULARLY THE
MEDICALLY VULNERABLE. I WOULD
LIKE TO END WITH WHAT I ADMIT
IS A RHETORICAL QUESTION. OUR
GOVERNOR GOVERNOR NEWSOME HAS
BEEN. UP FOR SCHOOL LEADERS IN
