Three inmates were rushed to the hospital Tuesday morning from the Pitchess Detention Center in what authorities believe was a drug-related incident, officials said.
Several inmates housed in the Castaic complex’s North County Correction Facility experienced a medical emergency after “preliminary information suggests they may have ingested a controlled substance,” according to a statement from the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department. Seventeen inmates who were in the jail’s outdoor recreation area “appeared to be affected in some way and were medically evaluated,” said Assistant Sheriff Sergio Aloma.Paramedics answered a call for medical assistance at the jail just before 10:30 a.m., said Henry Narvaez, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Three people were transported to a hospital — one in critical condition and two in moderate condition. The remaining 14 were treated at the scene.
