• MEN'S CENTRAL AND WOMEN'S  JAILS.
• The Men’s and Women’s Central Jails are traditional style cell block and dormitory jail facilities  which house both sentenced and pre-trial maximum security inmates. ...
• This constant inmate movement is staff intensive and requires a larger staff to accomplish the daily routine within a facility under federal mandates and state requirements. Both the Central Men's Jail and the Central Women's Jail provide for the custody of persons arrested for crimes within Orange County pending disposition by due process of law as well as those sentenced to the County Jail. ...

• MARCIA BUNNEY, CENTRAL CALIFORNIA WOMEN’S FACILITY, CHOWCHILLA, CA: .
• California’s prison system has not merely grown; it has metastasized, from a dozen facilities in 1982 to nearly 35 at this writing. ...
• In 1982, California’s sole prison for female felons was the California Institution for Women (CIW). ...
• This perversion of manifest destiny has resulted in a total of four prison facilities built to house female felons; the California Rehabilitation Center (CRC) began to house prison “overflow” in the early 1980’s, and continues to do so. ...
• Ironically, CRC, originally conceived as a facility for individuals under civil addict commitment, has allowed the “bed space” crisis to derail its substance abuse agenda. ...
• What has not changed in all this time, however, is the fact that women prisoners in California receive inferior medical care, care so poor that comparable performance in a community facility would have resulted in prompt sanctions, including closure of premises and suspension/revocation of licenses, accompanied by aggressive litigation for damages. ...
• The decision to seek adequate medical care for oneself is a person matter; it is quite another to come to the realization that there is no hope of resolving such issues within the prison facility, and make the pivotal choice to approach outside advocates for support and assistance. ...
• Wilson (mental health care for California prisoners, statewide) - the CDC’s compliance has been dismal. ...
• Wilson,which was a class action suit against the state filed by California Institution for Women (CIW) and Central California Women’s Facility (CCWF) because of the criminally negligent medical care being received at these two major women’s prisons in California. ...
• First, of course, is the fact that the women had to go to such extreme measures to get the California Department of Corrections (CDC) to admit that there was such a grave problem in the health care in prisons. The act of going for a settlement rather than fighting it out in court was really an admission on their part of the presence of a serious situation, and was also a move in this “chess game” to quiet any damning testimony that would have come out in court and been covered by a media that has already publicly revealed the misconduct of the guards in other places of the California prison system. ...
• However, in the California prison system, the sentence given by the court is often augmented by torture - by the angry jailers/parents. ...
• What kind of “justice” is the CDC, and by association, the State of California, practicing? And how is it possible for them to get away with such documented torture for so long and on such a large scale? Who has the real control here, the justice system or the prison system? That last question was rhetorical because we already know the answer through the actions of the CDC - and actions speak louder than words, spoken or written in “settlements” .

• 11: The parole of Flozelle Woodmore--a battered woman incarcerated during the 1980s--was denied today by the governor of California. ...
• LOS ANGELES (WOMENSENEWS)--For 16 years Flozelle Woodmore has been behind bars in the California prison system.
• Woodmore's attorney, Olivia Wang, thinks that releasing Woodmore could be politically smart because it would show that Davis is easing up on his hard line "no parole" policy, which has come under attack from women's groups whose votes she says he desperately needs. ...
• The women in this category have been behind bars since the 1980s, before evidence of battering and its effects were officially recognized under California law. Current legislation requires the parole board to determine at the time of a woman's hearing if she was suffering from "battered-women's syndrome" when she committed the crime and to consider this evidence in making parole decisions. (Battered-women's syndrome was defined in 1984. ...
• Another law allows a battered woman convicted of killing her abuser before 1992 to submit a writ of habeas corpus directly to the court if testimony on battered women's syndrome was not introduced at her trial. ...
• Battered women's advocates in California have held public protests to keep pressure on Davis to free these prisoners. ...
• Attorney for Northern California, told Women's eNews that Davis hasn't reviewed Woodmore's case yet and that each parole decision is decided on a case-by-case basis.

• Women's Responses to Prison.
• A: Ok, several years ago, Rosemary Gartner and I were talking about working on a project together, and we were discussing David Ward's original study of the California Institute for Women, which I'll call CIW, in Frontera, California. That study was done in 1965, and it was the first study anyone had ever done of a women's prison, to try to determine, there was a lot of research at that time on men's prisons, how men do time, how they get along with each other, but nobody had looked at women's. He happened to be at UCLA at that point and studying the men's facility in southern California, and he and his colleague, Gene Kassebaum thought it would be interesting to go up the road, since the women's facility was right there, and see if the same kinds of factors affected the way that women do time and whether they did time differently than men. Subsequently, he published a book, and it became extremely famous because it was the only work that had been done on the women's facility. ... So we went out and did a preliminary visit at the prison, and talked to them about their interest in having us replicate the study, and at that time, people kept talking about the new facilities that had been built in California, that the time Ward and Kassebaum did their research, there was this one and only one prison. ... Subsequently, there are now five prisons in California, the newest having been built in the Central Valley in Chowchilla. CCFW (California Correctional Facility for Women) and across the street, Valley State prison. ... Well, once we visited this new facility, we realized that it would be important not only to do this over time dimension, but also to control for time and look at the effects of very different facilities of how women do time. ...
• A: It played a big role because we basically started with probably the central theories in penology, one of which is "functionalist theory," from which Goffman was working, that says basically how inmates do time is a function of being in a total institution. ...
• A: Probably the biggest design decision, beside looking at those two facilities—the research we were really fortunate; California incarcerates more women than anywhere else in the U. ... or in the world for that matter, there are close to 10,000 women behind bars in California—so we knew we had a sufficient population to work with. ... We also knew we probably had a good distribution of inmates, given that the facilities were so different, they were drawn from different segments of the California population. ... " Instead they went in and did interviews first, to say, "Ok, you tell us what the central issues are, for you doing time," and then designed their survey, based on the results of the interviews. ...
• And there would be some women who were sent to secure housing unit, who are in the medical facility, who for one reason or another wouldn't be able to complete the survey.
• A: The interviews we knew we needed to get a very diverse population of women in order to try to get a broad spectrum on the issues that were central to women while they were doing time. We had a good connection in the California Department of Corrections in their research branch division who sent us a list of all inmates who had been recently admitted within the past six months, and inmates who'd been there longer than five years. ... And then we sent them out to California and we asked that when we got there that these women—they have a term that's called "docketed," which means they're released from their cells or their work schedules for a certain time to talk to us—and it worked extremely well. ...

• Ten percent of the nation's children live in California, and it is reported that 18% of those children under the age of 13 live in poverty. ...

• Judy Greenspan and the HIV/AIDS in Prison Project have been critically important in improving the medical care of the ever-increasing number of California prisoners with HIV: .
• Greenspan worked through the Prison Issues Committee of ACT UP in San Francisco and helped obtain the groundbreaking investigation by the Assembly Public Safety Committee of the California legislature, which exposed appalling medical care at the California Medical Facility at Vacaville (CMF-Vacaville)--improving that institution to the point where it has become a model for prison HIV/AIDS care. This facility now has infectious disease specialists, uses protease inhibitors, has an in-prison hospice, peer education on HIV prevention and care, and pastoral counseling services. The Vacaville medical prison cares for over 500 of the 1,500 known HIV-positive men in California prisons--but none of the 200 known HIV-positive women. It is believed that there are actually several times more prisoners with HIV in California than are reflected in the official statistics. ...
• Mistreatment of the women with HIV--mostly at the Central California Women's Facility (CCWF) at Chowchilla, the largest women's prison in the country with over 3,600 prisoners--led to a class-action lawsuit with the assistance of the HIV/AIDS in Prison Project, to improve medical care for these women. ...
• A critical issue today is the grossly inadequate medical care at Corcoran prison, the newest HIV/AIDS unit maintained by the California Department of Corrections. ...
