Inmates at the Quinte Detention Centre (Napanee) say there have been 10 fentanyl-related overdoses in the last week.
They describe the mood within the facility as chaotic.
A spokesperson for the facility confirmed that three people were taken to the hospital last Sunday, but wouldn’t say why, citing the inmates’ privacy.
The spokesperson also confirmed lockdowns at the detention centre as a result of employees refusing to work due to safety concerns.
