State Corrections Director Richard A. Mclace plans a three member panel to study San Quentin Prison psychiatric services after a three day investigation. The panel will include specialists from Stanford and UC medical schools, the Mental Hygiene department and Langley Porter Clinic. The hearing followed charges by a prison psychologist who resigned, with witnesses claiming beatings and sexual assaults.
