Well... we might not have to contact anyone according to
this! But as bad as it sounds, if one could make the case to
the judge, this might be a very good opportunity for VistA.

"With the toll of preventable deaths mounting weekly, an
alarmed federal judge Thursday seized control of
California's woefully inadequate prison health care system
to ensure that inmates receive the care they're guaranteed
under the U.S. Constitution.
It is the most sweeping federal takeover of a prison health
care system in the nation's history."
Have you called them to let them know about VistA yet? ;-)

"As a result, transferring large volumes of data from one
prison to another is nearly impossible, the department's
experts said. Most medical records are on paper, and when
inmates are moved, their records sometimes fail to catch up.
Thus prison officials often have to make decisions without
complete data on inmates' records, medical conditions and
special needs.
The officials said that building an adequate computer system
could cost well over $100 million and take at least five
more years."
