Based upon the Special Master’s most recent report and recommendations, testimony of witnesses, and absence of any written objections to the report of the Special Master by the parties, the Court finds that Defendants have not demonstrated substantial compliance with the previous orders of the Court regarding their duty to provide and maintain constitutionally adequate conditions of confinement at the Golden Grove Adult Correctional and Detention Facility (“Golden Case: 1:86-cv-00265-WAL-GAT Document #: 509 Filed: 12/06/10 Page 1 of 3 United States of America v.

See Order Granting United States' Motion to Find Defendants in Contempt and for Appointment of a Special Master (“Contempt Order”) (Docket No. 224, as amended by Docket No. 231).

By Order (Docket No. 457), entered February, 22, 2010, the Court directed that specific items identified and deemed critical by the parties be completed by a date certain. Although many of deadlines have expired without full compliance, progress is being made, albeit slowly, and the Court accepts the recommendation of the Special Master that no extraordinary measures be taken at this juncture and further adopts and incorporates the other recommendations of the Special Master hereinbelow. Accordingly, it is now hereby ORDERED: 1. Special Master Susan McCampbell shall continue in her appointment and capacity as Special Master. 2. On or before February 18, 2011, the Bureau of Corrections shall produce the list of security related policies and procedures, when each will be completed, and when each will be implemented (e.g. staff training completed).
