In 2019, California’s prison system had a record-high 51 overdose deaths per 100,000 inmates, more than double the overall death rate for other state prison systems.
It fell to a rate of 21 deaths per 100,000 inmatesand to a preliminary estimate of 20 deaths per 100,000 inmates in 2021, with a final report on last year’s deaths not expected until late this year.
"I’m not surprised at the results, because it’s been proven to be an effective therapy that saves lives and reduces crime," said Don Specter, an attorney for inmates in some of the largest class-action lawsuits against the prison system.
