罗斯林·西尔弗法官考虑对亚利桑那州提起第三次藐视法庭诉讼,指控其公立监狱医疗保健不足。 Judge Roslyn Silver considers a third contempt-of-court proceeding against Arizona for inadequate healthcare in state-run prisons.
罗斯林·西尔弗法官正在考虑对亚利桑那州提起第三次藐视法庭诉讼,理由是亚利桑那州未能改善其公立监狱的医疗质量。 Judge Roslyn Silver is considering launching a third contempt-of-court proceeding against Arizona for failing to improve the quality of healthcare in its state-run prisons. 监狱医疗保健系统为大约 25,000 名囚犯提供医疗和心理保健服务,但仍然“根本缺乏”,给囚犯带来了风险。 The prison health care system, which provides medical and mental health care to around 25,000 prisoners, remains "fundamentally lacking," posing a risk to inmates. 监测情况的专家称,受国家雇佣的私营公司 Naphcare 缺乏足够的员工,需要加薪。 Experts monitoring the situation claim that the private company, Naphcare, hired by the state, lacks sufficient staff and needs salary increases. 之前总计 250 万美元的藐视法庭罚款并没有促使当局改善护理。 Previous contempt fines totaling $2.5 million have not motivated authorities to improve care. 亚利桑那州于 2014 年解决了此案,但对违规行为和护理不足的投诉导致了持续的藐视法庭罚款和审判。 Arizona settled the case in 2014, but complaints about noncompliance and insufficient care have led to ongoing contempt fines and trials.
