The only source I can think of for illegal drugs in prison or on death row would be corrupt corrections officers. It wouldn’t be the first time.
Illegal drugs, the prisoners wanting to get high, I can understand. But these drugs are killing them. How would you go about buying drugs that can kill you, then sneaking them in for the prisoner who requested them? That doesn’t sound right.
it seems that someone, probably a correction officer, has decided to take matters in his own hands.
prisoners can be creative … if the drug is something like fentanyl all it takes is figuring a way of disguising the drug for transport...it could be as easy as books being distributed to the prisoner and the drugs being hiden in the binding or something else that is being used that the guards don’t realize is a security breach.

It sure wouldn’t. I’ve been told by an ex-corrections officer that CO’s are THE biggest gang in prisons and get away with things that would make your skin crawl.
I have a very close friend who is a former policeman and is now a very well regarded prosecutor, and he has always said that the only difference between a CO and the people who are in his charge is that he or she hasn’t been caught yet.
