California Mental Health Center For Prison Inmates Opens In Vacaville

Circle Connections: New Products & Services California opened a $24 million treatment center for mentally ill inmates as state corrections officials used the occasion to push for ending federal oversight of that aspect of prison operations. The 44,000-square-foot building at the California Medical Facility in Vacaville includes rooms where inmates will undergo individual, group and recreational outpatient therapy. It will be used to treat inmates who are seriously mentally ill but are able to function without around-the-clock care. This was reported by the Daily Democrat on February 15, 2013.
