California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation officials are investigating an attack on a psychiatrist at California Medical Facility (CMF) as an attempted homicide.
On Aug. 29, 2025, at approximately 1248 hours, Inmate Jose L. Ramirez (BL0172) allegedly attacked a psychiatrist during a one-on-one meeting.
An officer immediately responded to quickly quell the attack, and an inmate-manufactured weapon was found at the scene.
An ambulance was called, and the psychiatrist was transported to an outside hospital. He is currently in good condition and expected to be released soon.
Inmate Ramirez was placed in restricted housing pending investigation into this case. CMF officials are currently investigating the incident. The case will be referred to the Solano County District Attorney’s Office for possible felony prosecution.
