In [[media:brown_v_plata.pdf\|Brown v. Plata ]], the Court determined that it was necessary to limit prison population to remedy the violations of basic physical and mental health care. Prison crowding is the root of such issues as: increased spread of communicable diseases, increased violence, insufficient staff and supplies (medical and otherwise), unsanitary conditions, slower and less thorough treatment, reliance, etc. The California prison system currently operates at 200% of the design capacity, some areas exceeding 300% design capacity.
