Title

Sheriff’s Department Update on Pima County Adult Detention Complex, Fentanyl Overdoses and COVID Mitigation

Discussion/Direction/Action: Asking Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos to present an update to the Board of Supervisors regarding the increase in fentanyl-related overdoses among the incarcerated population, to include both lethal and non-lethal overdoses. The status of any internal or external investigations into how fentanyl is making it into the inmate population. Implementation of any plan to equip Corrections Officers with the appropriate resources, tools, and/or training to administer Naloxone (Narcan) to prevent inmate deaths.

 

Additionally, I would appreciate an update on COVID-19 infections in the facility and what measures are being taken to continue to mitigate against spread of the virus. Are mitigation policies such as masking requirements being fully adhered to by all corrections officers, legal and medical staff, and others working in the facility? Are appropriate masks (surgical and/or N95 masks) being provided to inmates and is mandatory mask wearing enforced with the inmate population? (District 2)
