"Correctional officers from the jail responded to a medical emergency in one of the cell pods.
There, inmates explained that they believed [Jessica] Barry was experiencing a drug overdose.
Within 3 minutes of being notified of the emergency, officers gave Barry a dose of Narcan.
A total of six doses of Narcan, chest compressions, and an AED were given to Barry, but officers were not able to resuscitate her."
Tragic stuff. I know we all like to blame the cops, and usually I’m 1000% on board, but it sounds like they did everything they could here. At most they could maybe be blamed for not catching and stopping the drugs from getting in. Maybe the ongoing investigation will turn something up as to how that happened, but I can’t say I’m surprised. I’ve been that courthouse and jail. It’s not the most well-funded, and addicts tend to find a way. Sad stuff.
