Pharmacy Project
The current California prison pharmacy program does not meet minimal standards of patient care, and wastes millions of dollars
of taxpayer money. To remedy that, the Receiver has hired Maxor National Pharmacy Services Corporation to oversee a turnaround of
the pharmacy system, starting in January 2007. The three-year engagement will result in a patient-centered, centralized, efficient
and better organized pharmacy system for California's 33 adult prisons and nearly 175,000 inmate patients.
Read the June 2006 Maxor audit of the pharmacy system below for more information on the current problems with the prison
pharmacies and the plan to fix them. The recent audit confirmed the results of several previous audits, finding a chaotic operation
lacking in inventory and purchasing controls, and rife with medical error. Further, it estimates that prison pharmacies cost
California taxpayers $46 to $80 million more than equivalent prison systems.
