Medical facilities do not offer reduced sentences. Inmates are transferred to the CMF for any number of reasons. It could be something physically wrong or they might have asked for a psychiatric evaluation. The food is about the same in all the facilities as they entire CDCR buys their food in large quantities for distribution to all of their locations. Buying in bulk is budget friendly. New inmates are usually treated with empathy - they oftentimes will share commissary items or loan them things until their money arrives.
