Did You Get Fentanyl or Other Drugs at the LCDC?

 

We've been asked to discuss fentanyl at both the Lauderdale County men's and women's facilities. It's easy to see how it could be slipped in; how can body checks be more thorough?

One death due to a fentanyl overdose made the news, but are there other incidents where prisoners just sleep it off? We've been told this is often true in the women's jail. If so, we want you to contact us.

Your stories will be published anonymously. We will keep a record of who reports this drug behavior in case the person wants to testify or report in some way later.

We certainly don't believe the two Lauderdale County Jails are the only ones experiencing this kind of behavior and drug related illness. Just remember, better cavity checks will bring complaints from prisoners that most don't want to deal with.

What do you do then?
