They referred KQED to their plan filed with the court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under that plan a mental health clinician must be called in to evaluate an inmate’s mental status to determine whether they’re able to understand directions. This evaluation now must happen before officers can proceed with use of force. If a clinician decides force shouldn’t be used, correctional officers can no longer override that decision. Instead, the conflict will be referred to senior management to resolve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Alan Abrams says the state’s plan reinforces the values and strategies he used when he was the chief psychiatrist at the California Medical Facility in Vacaville. Abrams, who left the post a couple years ago, says staff at most prisons already collaborate well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abrams believes the problem is that there have been a limited number of ways to handle violent inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One (inmate) is brutalizing another,\" he explained. \"Yes, they’re labeled mentally ill, but you need to stop the violence very quickly. It’s not a discussion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his 12 years working in prisons Abrams says he ordered force numerous times to keep inmates from killing each other or themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What do you do about the inmate who’s in their cell with a t-shirt, in a noose, saying they’re going to kill themselves unless you release them from prison?” says Abrams, “You’re not going to watch him hang himself. You’re not going to release him from prison, and so you say to your custody co-workers ‘You better get them down!’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Terry Kupers, a national expert on correctional mental health believes the pepper-spraying incidents indicate inadequate mental health care in the prisons.
