4 officers at Corrigan Correctional hospitalized after possible drug exposure
A total of four correctional officers had to be hospitalized Friday after officials say they were possibly exposed to drugs.
This all occurred while they were on-duty at the Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center in Montville while they were attempting to prevent drugs from entering the building.
“Our foremost concern is the health and safety of everyone who enters our facilities…The employees were performing their duties to prevent drugs from entering the facility- actions that support the safety of staff, individuals in our custody, and the overall security of the facility,” a Department of Corrections spokesperson said.
The current condition of the four officers that are in the hospital weren’t immediately available. However, all four are being monitored. One officer is monitoring their symptoms at home.
“AFSCME Council 4 stands with our correctional officers at Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center, who required hospitalization after being exposed to methamphetamines. The presence of illicit substances in correctional facilities continues to pose serious risks to the health and safety of both correctional officers and incarcerated individuals. We want to commend the administration at Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center for assisting our officers in every possible way during their response to today’s incident. This incident underscores the importance of continued efforts focused on prevention, safety, and the well-being of everyone who lives and works within our correctional facilities,” a union representative for AFSCME Council 4, which represents Connecticut correctional officers, said in a statement.
