1. “1. With respect to access to court, the court identified the following “deficiencies”: “[N]o method has been developed to determine whether there exists an adequate pool of writ-writers in the prisons. Additionally, information is still lacking about the adequacy of writ-writers and their utilizations____ [Tjhere is no library currently at Camp Gilman nor a paralegal.” 2. With respect to educational programming, the court observed: “[Tjhere still are women in college programming who do not have IPP’s prepared. Additionally, there are a number of women who. are prevented from taking a full twelve-credit course load because of space problems.” 3. With respect to apprenticeships, the court identified five programs at Crane, and six at Scott, and noted the defendants’ arguments that “they have not-been able to fill three of the five Crane apprenticeships due to eligibility requirements,” which have excluded approximately 100 women. Placing the blame on the defendants for this inability, the court concluded that the defendants “are clearly not in substantial compliance with the goals of apprenticeship programming as established in the Remedial Plan.

The Court would first review compliance under the Plans and would dismiss any portions of the Plans for which it found compliance. 2. The Court would entertain motions regarding the portions of the Plans for which the Court did not find compliance. In these motions the parties could argue the relevant constitutional standards and show that compliance with the ftdl terms of the Plans should not be required.”

3. “The perplexing issue is: How is finality reached in these public agency-public law eases? ... As it is so often a need in the administration- of justice, a balance must be reached. That balance is reached, it seems, when there is- substantial compliance with the goals of ... a negotiated settlement____ [TJhat requirement of compliance has not yet completely been reached. That fact may not be used, however, to avoid -addressing finality. Even though progress has been slow ..., there has been substantial progress toward finality. It is this court’s view that a further test period is still required. That test period can be measured in a discrete time frame. This court, with the aid of its Monitor[ ], will determine within a period of sixty (60) days after December 31, 1996, whether compliance has been substantially accomplished. During the period prior to December 31, 1996, ... the monitor[ ] will perform quarterly reviews which will be submitted to the court and the parties detailing the compliance status in each program____”
