An inmate at the Upstate Correctional Facility in Northern New York has been hospitalized after being discovered unresponsive.
At the same facility, 20 staff members were hospitalized earlier this week after being exposed to a suspected synthetic drug, which made them ill.
WCAX staff at the facility discovered an inmate who was unresponsive and experienced similar reactions to the hospitalized staff members. Consequently, the inmate received Narcan and was transported to the hospital.
We will share additional details as we gather more information.
