Receiver appointed in Arizona prison healthcare reform case

A court-appointed receiver, Annette Chambers-Smith, has been assigned to oversee healthcare services at Arizona's state-run prisons due to systemic failures in providing constitutionally adequate care. The Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry faces a receivership ordered by U.S. District Judge Roslyn Silver after years of noncompliance with a 14-year-old court mandate.
