Unconstitutionally poor healthcare for inmates

On today's front page, a LAT reporter writes that healthcare for inmates in California prisons is "unconstitutionally poor." No authority for that claim is cited so how does the reporter know?

A liberal San Francisco federal judge (is there any other kind?) has taken charge and appointed a receiver. To do what the LAT doesn't say.

Democrats want to spend $7 billion to build medical facilities for inmates. It's $7 billion the state, which has a deficit, doesn't have. Republicans are opposed and that makes them targets of the LAT.
