Its the same jail that holds international terrorists and drug traffickers, IE el chapo.
If it's that incompetent then I think we have some serious problems.
Pretty much anywhere in a big area is going to have some of these high profile people. Wiki any prison in California and look at their lists of notable inmates.
I think the type of physicians working in the correctional setting can be roughly lumped into 3 categories: those who have normal civil jobs but work extra hours behind bars for supplemental income, fellowship-trained forensic psychiatrists who practice out of genuine interest, and more commonly, the physician who can't cut it in the civil arena. People in correctional medicine stereotypically don't speak English well, can't pass their board certifications, lost their licenses in other states, have felony convictions, do really shitty work/don't give a damn/are just bidding their time, etc other reasons that prevent them from obtaining more desirable work in the civil sector. A lot of these correctional jobs pay significantly more than other jobs, and with great benefits, but many of these places have critical shortages. Why? Not many choose to work these jobs unless they have no other choice. They will hire anyone with a pulse. Bottom of the barrel.
