Judge threatens to fine Arizona in prison health care suit

Gov. Doug Ducey speaks to the press July 11, 2018, at the Department of Public Safety aircraft hangar in Phoenix. At the time, Ducey expressed confidence in Corrections Director Charles Ryan after the prisons chief was found in civil contempt of court for failing to adequately improve health care for inmates. A judge overseeing a legal settlement over the quality of health care in Arizona's prisons has threatened Monday, May 6, 2019, to impose as much as $1.7 million in additional contempt-of-court fines against the state for failing to adequately improve inmate care.
