JUDICIAL PISSING CONTEST OVER COVID MANDATE IN THE SLAMMER

by Bob Walsh
 

 
Health care within the California prison system is controlled by a special master working for a retired judge of the federal court, specifically the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.  That special master is J. Clark Kelso.  Mr. Kelson demanded that correctional workers be forced to have Covid vaccinations.  Both the department and the union representing custody employees of the department objected strongly.

A total of 50 employees and 254 prisoners have died from Covid.

It wasn't real clear in the Sacramento BEE which court overturned the edict, but it was presumably the Ninth District Court of Appeals.
