Special Master Matthew Lopes, a court-appointed monitor in California, has concerns with Governor Jerry Brown’s plan to put an end to judicial oversight in state prisons. According the Los Angeles Times, Lopes said Brown’s request was “not only premature, but a needless distraction.” Lopes filed his own report this past Friday, citing dozens of suicides last year in response to long periods of isolation as opposed to treatment of mental health issues head-on. This 609-page report was filed in response to Lopes’ visitation of over two-thirds of California prisons. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has received Lopes’ report, and a spokesperson claims the department will be issuing a response later. The main issue Lopes aims to tackle is that Governor Brown wants to end judicial oversight of mental health services, as well as withdraw orders to prevent overcrowding.
