- Arizona says judge turned to ‘last resort’ fix for prison healthcare too soon
Arizona challenges a federal judge's decision to appoint a receiver for its prison healthcare system, arguing the judge bypassed intermediate remedies in a 14-year lawsuit alleging Eighth Amendment violations. The state claims the receiver appointment was premature, while plaintiffs and the court assert the system's failures justify the 'last resort' action.
