Caucus & COW
Overview
States that a prisoner working in Arizona Correctional Industries (ACI) may not introduce into
evidence the cost of medical services which the state paid for as a result of the prisoner's injury.
History
ACI is managed by the Director of the Arizona Department of Corrections (ADC) for the
employment of prisoners and for the purposes of providing products and services for use and
sale. Except for trainers and managers, all ACI workers must be ADC prisoners. The Director of
ADC may also contract with private entities to provide services or labor rendered by prisoners.
Additionally, the Director of ADC is required to provide medical services for the prisoners (Title
41, Chapter 11, Article 3, A.R.S. § 31-201.01).
Provisions
1. Asserts that, in an action for damages, for injury or death arising from a prisoner's work in
ACI, a prisoner may not introduce into evidence the cost of medical services which the state
provided to the prisoner, or paid for on the prisoner's behalf, as a result of the prisoner's injury
or death. (Sec. 1)
2. Stipulates that a prisoner may still introduce into evidence any amount paid to secure the right
to medical and health services. (Sec. 1)
