A federal judge has stepped in to overhaul Arizona’s prison healthcare system after years of constitutional violations and deadly neglect. Appointing Annette Chambers-Smith — a former Ohio prison chief known for transforming care and staff culture — the judge gives her sweeping powers to fix the system, including hiring/fire, budget control, and even overriding state laws blocking reform. Chambers-Smith, paid $500K/year by taxpayers, has 180 days to submit a plan and will lead the receivership for up to five years. The ACLU, which has fought this battle since 2012, says Arizona’s inaction has cost lives — often requiring multiple deaths before change happens. The state plans to appeal, but real reform may finally be on the horizon. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
