On June 12, 2012, Defendants filed a revised bed plan to reflect the changed demand for
mental health beds associated with, among other things, realignment. (ECF No. 4196.)
Defendants’ bed plan included converting the Valley State Prison for Women into a male
institution starting in September 2012. (ECF No. 4196–3 at 3.) This conversion resulted in the
elimination of designated mental health beds at Valley State Prison. (Id.)
California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation population trends, however, now
show a need for Level II Enhanced Outpatient Program-Sensitive Needs Yard beds throughout

the state. The parties met and conferred regarding the use of Valley State Prison to meet this
2
population need, and they agreed that Defendants may convert 192 Level II Sensitive Needs Yard
3
beds at Valley State Prison, Facility A, Building 1 to 192 Level II Enhanced Outpatient Program-
4
Sensitive Needs Yard beds. It was further agreed that inmates housed in Facility A, Building 1
5
may be housed in small dormitories housing up to six men each. Defendants expect to start the
6
conversion from a General Population Sensitive Needs Yard to an Enhanced Outpatient Program
7
Sensitive Needs Yard on August 12, 2013, at a rate of 15 inmates per week. Defendants expect to
8
immediately activate one-half of Building 1, and to activate the second-half of Building 1
9
consistent with population needs.
10
Therefore, the parties, by and through their counsel, stipulate that Defendants may modify
11
their revised long-range mental health bed plan and increase the number of mental health beds for
12
male inmates by adding 192 Enhanced Outpatient Program beds at Valley State Prison. The
13
parties further stipulate that the inmates in the program may be housed in small dormitories
14
housing up to six men each.
15
On September 16, 2013, Defendants shall provide Plaintiffs’ counsel with a list of the
16
names and numbers of Enhanced Outpatient Program prisoners housed in the Valley State Prison
17
Facility A Enhanced Outpatient Program unit as of September 13, 2013. On October 16, 2013,
18
Defendants shall provide Plaintiffs’ counsel with a list of the names and numbers of Enhanced
19
Outpatient Program prisoners housed in the Valley State Prison Facility A Enhanced Outpatient
20
Program unit as of October 14, 2013.
