Last year saw 76 deaths, up from 55 in 2024, and 35 have already occurred this year. Beyond natural causes, 25 were accidental (including overdoses), 18 homicides, 13 suicides — with 12 still under investigation. A statewide healthcare shortage is crippling prison medical staffing, while officials blame rising synthetic drug use for fueling violence and deaths. Proposed solutions include restricting prison mail — met with pushback — and seeking new funding to hire more staff, hoping to turn the tide on a crisis that’s claiming lives behind bars.
