		The nursing shortage restricts the size of Vacaville's acute care unit, meaning that severely ill inmates have to be sent at enormous expense to outside hospitals, interrupting the consistency of care.

	The Body: AIDS Treatment NewsFebruary 6, 1998
		The Vacaville medical prison cares for over 500 of the 1,500 known HIV-positive men in California prisons -- but none of the 200 known HIV-positive women.
		Mistreatment of the women with HIV -- mostly at the Central California Women's Facility (CCWF) at Chowchilla, the largest women's prison in the country with over 3,600 prisoners -- led to a class-action lawsuit with the assistance of the HIV/AIDS in Prison Project, to improve medical care for these women.
		And this segregation sends a message to the other prisoners that they are OK, they are not in the HIV unit -- when many of them have HIV but do not know it.
