Death row? So this was a problem?

“Staff began life-saving measures immediately ...”

If anybody should have DNR instructions, wouldn’t it be these guys?

Street drugs are notoriously quality non-controlled, and adding fentanyl to the mix makes it even worse because the tiniest amount of fentanyl can kill you.

Nowadays the are lacing street drugs with fentanyl, but they aren’t very good at precise measurements.

Never attribute to evil that which can readily be explained by stupidity.

Whatever drugs are getting into Death Row make sure even more does...and make sure it's plenty strong.Yes,you'd want to see the eyes pop out of their head as 17,000 volts goes through their body....but this way saves taxpayers serious $$$ and it results in filthy defense lawyers being forced to find other lines of work.

Considering this is California, it’s likely the only way to execute these vermin. I applaud the drug dealer here.

Turn a blind eye. Contraband drugs are doing what the state refuses to do.

I’m just curious — have other maximum security but non-Death Row prisoners in CA been dying “mysteriously” in similar proportions?

I have a very close friend who is a former policeman and is now a very well regarded prosecutor, and he has always said that the only difference between a CO and the people who are in his charge is that he or she hasn’t been caught yet.

I know many think that prisoners deserve whatever bad things happen to them, but it absolutely INFURIATES me, that our prisons are full of drugs, and the scene of violent rapes! There’s only ONE WAY that any of those things happen, which is CROOKED GUARDS. I know that times being what they are, there are plenty of wicked people around, but surely there must be guard material out there, who aren’t evil! The people locked up include some of the lowest forms of humanity, but it brings us almost as low, to allow that stuff to go on, ESPECIALLY knowing it wouldn’t go on, without cooperative guards. Having said that, I wouldn’t want to work in a prison. Some of the other nurses I worked with took jobs in prisons, because the pay is fantastic, and the job is pretty easy, even if potentially unsafe. “Oh, the guards are very careful to watch out for us”, they say. Of course, these are the same guards who enable the drugs and violence. I guess you’d have to be pretty strong, not to let all the surrounding evil to affect you personally.

That sewer of a state has people dying of overdoses everyday and they’re worried about people who already should have been dead? What a lunatic state.

Cost saving measure?

So lawyers challenge the use of legal drugs, but their clients voluntarily off themselves with illegal drugs. Win-win. Winning.

Just don’t let the son-of-a-bitch lawyers sue for wrongful death. Never has death been so righteous.

We should give our prisoners all the fentanyl we seize so they can party like never before.

Early in my career I worked a temporary job providing medical care to prisoners in the Alaska Department of Corrections. I lasted 6 weeks. After 4 weeks the distinction between the guards and the inmates started to blur. I swore I would never work jails again and I’m not far from retirement now.

Efficient and the costly, drawn out appeals process comes to a close. Let’s have more of the contraband drugs on death row!

Anyone stupid enough to do drugs can deal with the consequences.

When did it become the government’s responsibility to protect people from themselves and their own stupidity?

When it declared a War on Drugs.

The war needs to be on what causes people to do the drugs.

Attacking the symptom does not change anything.

Getting to the cause of drug use of whatever flavor is what’s effective.
