An inmate sits in a cell at the mental health unit at the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's Stockton Health Facility in Stockton, Calif., on  July 24, 2014. The California Association of Psychiatric Technicians union says that employees at the facility were instructed to routinely falsify suicide watch records, endangering inmates and violating standards imposed in response to federal court orders. The union claims inadequate staffing is prompting shortcuts that circumvent requirements meant to protect inmates. (Associated Press) **FILE**
