SACRAMENTO (AP) - The Schwarzenegger administration on Friday responded to a sharply worded judicial opinion about its handling of inmate health care in state prisons, saying it had appointed a career health administrator to oversee a system blamed for numerous inmate deaths. U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson on Thursday gave Schwarzenegger one week to name a single person in charge of overseeing reforms to the health care system. He also criticized top Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation officials for failing to act quickly on reforms.
