...jails since 2006 because...? Of being withheld benzodiazapine drugs like Xanax, Ativan, Valium, Librium, Halcion, Tranxene, ect. Nearly half of such people had valid prescriptions from their doctors prior to being admitted to the jail. Abrupt withdrawal from a benzodiazapine causes effects virtually identical to acute alcohol withdrawal syndrome, which includes a rise in blood pressure and heart rate, seizures, diarrhea, nausa/vertigo, anxiety/panic attacks and in rare cases, cardiac arrest.
What the ccdbe noted, however, is that in these 17,000 deaths, not a single action against the jails or the policy that withholds these meds has been enforced.
How can U.S. county jails get away with killing nearly 17,000 people by withholding prescription medications?
