Coalinga State Hospital is one of five Department of State Hospitals (DSH) in California — the other four hospitals are Atascadero, Metropolitan (Los Angeles County) and Napa. Created by Governor Jerry Brown’s 2012-13 Budget, the state hospitals provide mental health services to patients “in a safe environment and in a fiscally responsible manner.”

Who are the patients?

Patients admitted to California’s state hospitals are mandated for treatment by a criminal or civil court judge, more than 90% of whom are “forensic commitments,” i.e., criminals deemed to be “mentally ill”. Among DSH patients are also criminals who have been classified by a judge or jury as Sexually Violent Predators. Simply put, California’s Department of State Hospitals are prison hospitals.

In the case of Coalinga State Hospital, located halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles around 57 miles southwest of Fresno, it was opened in 2005 as a self-contained, 1,286 beds, psychiatric hospital with a security perimeter. Most of the hospital’s forensically committed patients are sexually violent predators.

Red Pill reports for The Goldwater that on January 14, 2018, patients at Coalinga State Hospital overtook the facility in a major riot after hospital staff removed all electronics equipment from the patients due to the widespread sharing and distribution of child pornography.

The staff deprived the patients of access to the Internet — and to child porn — as a result of a Department of State Hospitals emergency regulation that blocks the patients’ “possession, viewing, and distribution of illicit materials” by barring them from possessing digital memory storage devices such as flash drives or thumb drives, hard drives such as those in computers, memory cards, digital media players, and digital media burners. Prior to the crackdown, “patients,” including convicted violent sex predators, were allowed compact disc (CD) and digital video disc (DVD) players, as well as Internet access — in a prison hospital!
