Thomson Prison ends lockdown caused by recent employee drug exposures
Zumkehr said that the most recent lockdown was due in part to an uptick in inmate overdoses, with roughly one inmate overdose a week. He highlighted the mail system as how drugs were entering the prison, and advocated for support of a congressional bill called the “Interdiction of Fentanyl in Postal Mail at Federal Prisons Act”, H.R. 5266.
