A situation has unfolded at Portlaoise Prison in Ireland, as ten inmates were suddenly taken to the hospital due to a suspected mass overdose. The incident occurred on a Tuesday afternoon, leaving the prison staff and authorities in a state of alarm. The inmates were quickly transported to the nearby Midlands Regional Hospital from the high security facility for adult males. According to reports from RTÉ, all of the inmates were in a serious condition.
An ambulance was spotted arriving at the prison in County Laois, Ireland, as the situation continued to unfold. In light of this concerning event, the Irish Prison Service has taken steps to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. They have secured additional naloxone kits, which are used for clinical intervention in cases of overdose.
In a statement released by the IPS, they explained that they are implementing extra vigilance throughout the prison estate. They have also launched an information campaign for prisoners, raising awareness about the dangers of consuming contraband. In addition to this, the service has increased their efforts in conducting canine searches throughout the prison, with a particular focus on deliveries.
This recent incident comes shortly after the prison service issued an urgent drug alert to all prisons in the country. This was in response to an analysis that revealed the presence of a potentially fatal drug, nitazine, within the prison walls. The IPS is taking these matters seriously and is working diligently to ensure the safety and well-being of all inmates.
