Fix this problem Jesse Bane !!!

My son was a heroin addict also and was locked up in The Harford County Detention Center for armed robbery. We called the detention center repeatedly to insure that he was going to be alright from detoxing, which they of course said yes. We later found out that he was just locked in a cell to detox on his own and they checked on him from time to time. This facility or staff is not equipped to handle this problem and in fact Harford County should be held liable for the inadequate medical treatment of these people. Yes they made poor choices in life but if they are put in to a government facity and should be cared for in an appropriate way, surely not left to die. The system in this county is broken for treating these kids who have lost there way and from the judges, states attorney to the correctional officers they just want to lock them up for there crimes instead of treating the addiction. I'm very sorry for the loss of Michael and hopeful that my son will get the treatment that he needs at the DOC but I dont think he will.

I agree and my hat off to all

Benzodiazepine withdrawal can also be deadly due to seizure (Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan, Serax, Librium, Valium, etc.) While death is quite uncommon from opiod withdrawal, it is entirely possible for someone to become dehydrated from withdrawal associated vomiting and diarrhea, and pass out. If he were to have passed out on his back and vomited, he very well could have aspirated. If the HCDC staff knew that he had passed out already, he should have been taken to the ER for tests and at least been given a "banana bag" (IV fluids w/potassium, etc). Yes, this young man broke the law, but no, he didn't deserve a death sentence.

Condolences to the family and loved ones.

There are a lot of really good people out there who have done some really bad things while caught in the grips of addiction. I don't think anyone on here said he shouldn't have been jailed, punished, etc., but dying while in need of medical attention under the custody of the HCDC equates to a death sentence, a penalty that usually isn't even given to murderers and child rapists, much less a robber.

Timmy, I agree. Good kids don't go on armed robbery sprees. Of course, People shouldn't have to be sitting in jail when they aren't supposed to be - according to the judge - either. However, that's irrelevant.

No matter what reason tthey are in the detention center for, deserved or not, all persons are entitled to adaquate medical attention and care. I've been nursing for 40 years now, have cared for my share of inmates, and am a former investigator myself.

If needed, they are supposed to be taken to the hospital for proper care. I seriously question the care & judgement of the Harford county Detention Center. Especially, after I had a lengthy conversation with a male nurse (?). At least that's what he insinuated he was. And, after he assured us that everyone gets adaquate medical attention, frequent observation, and will receive those medications which are allowed to be given, particularly when we informed him she recently just started having seizures after the accident.

We feel like he just lied to us and that's unacceptible. We're very seriously considering filing complaints to the Nursing Board & OIG, etc.

Good kids can become addicts and addicts do whatever they can for their next high. It's wrong and I wish it wasn't so but it could be your child, your mother, father any of your loved ones that become addicted and desperate. It is an epidemic, if you don't live it, you can't understand it. Even those that live it can't really understand how this happens. There isn't an easy answer like, just stop or don't start or THEY are just low lifes. None of that is true in all cases. I can't imagine getting up every day sick and trying to figure out how to get enough money to get the drug I need to keep from being deathly sick. The choices come easy to some, not so easy to others, yet they do what the drug demands they do. It's not right and they should be prosecuted for crimes but they also should not die in jail. He had been there several days so this wasn't the acute detox phase and something happened to this young man. Maybe he had a flu? If he WASN'T a drug addict how would the comments read if he had a flu and they let him pass out from dehydration and vomit and die? A life has been lost and a family is heartbroken. My thoughts are with those who loved this young man and knew him at his best and know he is now at peace.

Minimal care would include a trip to the hospital for someone who loses consciousness. Also, you are correct that addiction is no excuse to commit crimes, but a death sentence for robberies in which no one was injured is a bit harsh in my opinion.

Timmy, you're incorrect.

First of all, when it comes to medical care, with all due modesty, I'm an expert. Second, there's such a thing as Standard of Care which applies to all patients in all facilities. There is supposed to be a physician overseeing.

Third, there was no hit and run. She stayed right at the accident. We arrived after we got a call & she was still there. It was a plain old accident with no other injuries, other than she hit her head, even with having a seat belt on. She should ahve been taken to the hospital. You assume incorrectly.

As to being picked up at home, the reason was because she was on probation for traffic tickets and, according to a probation officer, having any kind of accident, is a violation of probation. She had seen a probation officer, right aftwer the accident. Her's wasn't in that day, so she got someone else. THAT probabation officer said she violated probation.

She went back again & saw her regular one, who said it wasn't. she was arrested, at home, 2 weeks after the accident. The officers showing up at her door was a complete surprise & they even apologized.
She has no addictions. She's on medicine for a serious neurological disease. She started having seizures after hitting her head. We were promised she would be seen & checked often & her meds would be given to her. None of which happened.

The judge was furious that she'd been arrested.

There are NOT plenty of treatment facilities for those who want to get clean. Please be assured of that. Just try to get into a reputable treatment facility with no insurance. Even if you have insurance, often there is a waiting period. An addict that wants to get clean needs to get help then, not weeks or months later when he/she may be in a different place in their addiction. I agree that drug abuse doesn't excuse ones criminal behaviour and they must pay for those acts but not with their life...

wow who the fucc do you think you are, you have no right to judge anyone! you are not God, you dont know anything about this boy or anyone else and their situations to sit on your ass at your computer and say such things about this boy whos MOTHER s also on this message board, show a little respect !! first off you keep saying things about him being a "good kid" this is about a boy who got lost in life got addicted to a terrible drug and died due to lack of care, HIS CRIMES DID NOT MERIT DEATH ASSHOLE, no one was hurt and he was doing such crimes to keep from the terrible feeling of withdraw...life is not perfect for alot of people and not everyone can deal with things such as your self apparently, get off your high horse and get real, allow me to pop your bubble and let you enter the world shyt happens and people get lost and maybe cant find their way without intervention just because YOU havent gone through something like this doesnt mean he was a bad person! people like you make me sick, your so closed minded and sheltered, just take your bad attitude somewhere else, im sure your the type that would have no problem picketing someones funeral, God does not like ugly and you are really hideous right now GROW UP

"His death was set in place by his life choices I feel no sympathy."

I have little sympathy for those who choose that way of life too. But, guess what, when they were my patients, they got the very best care I could provide - and, yes, they were monitored frequently. As I said, in medicine - whether in a hospital or in a correctional setting, The appropriate medical Standard of Care always applies. No outs, no excuses! I hope the family seeks re-dress.

You are a very judgemental person - that is obvious. I'm sorry that you cannot feel empathy toward anyone - you are missing a very basic emotion that most humans have. Just remember that you will be judged in the same manner that you judge others. Your comments are very vicious considering some family lost somebody that they love. Shame on you!!!!!

I don't believe anywhere in the Constitution is there a Code of Standard for prisoners or patients. There maybe a code of ethics, but that is a judgemental code. No where in the Constitution does it state a Code of Standards for prisoners or patients. Also, while this death is tragic, what have I done to accept responsiblity to have to pay for treatment for this individual. I'm a taxpayer and I'm not willing to use my portion of taxes to pay for this mans treatment for addiction or hospital expenses. I believe this man had to turn down every ounce of help that was offered to him and all the community outreach programs that are out there. The employees of the Harford County Detention Center have no responsiblity for this mans death. This tragedy could have been prevented only from proper intervention from his friends or family.

"Treatment of Alcohol
Withdrawal Hugh Myrick, M.D., and Raymond F. Anton, M.D.
Appropriate treatment of alcohol withdrawal (AW) can relieve the patient’s discomfort,
prevent the development of more serious symptoms, and forestall cumulative effects that might worsen future withdrawals. Hospital admission provides the safest setting for the treatment of AW ... Severe AW requires pharmacological intervention. severe
AW can be life-threatening." http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/arh22-1/38-43.pdf

Opiod Detox: "The goals of detoxification are to prevent major medical and psychiatric complications of withdrawal, to provide humane treatment and relief from the discomfort of withdrawal, to engage the patient in treatment and to motivate him to continue in treatment post detoxification. Once pharmacologically and behaviorally stable, the patient can be more fully assessed ..."

I seriously question whether he got this in the Detention Center!

THANK YOU! I responded to one of his alleged robberies. This was a life changing event for the victim. It took her about 45mins to stop shaking. She surely felt that the gun he showed her was real!
Can you imagine sending every inmate that is going through detox to the hospital? The detention centers would be empty.

Please check your facts before putting lies out there. He had one failure to appear for violation of parole. He went to every court date he had and was turning hisself in on this. The only other crime he ever commited was breaking into neighbors house over four years ago.It was wrong but he did his time for it and paid restitution. He had been clean but just couldn't break the cycle of addiction. He knew what he was doing was wrong but the addiction overrules common sense. He knew he was on camera and still did this. I am not making excuses for him he commited a crime and was going to pay his dues. He should have been under medical care and not left to pass out and throw up and die. He called me on Wed. and told me he was dying and I told him to let them know so he could get medical attention. They saw him and locked him back up. Don't know what the checks entailed. You are entitled to you opinion and I strongly believe in our constitutional right to freedom of speech, but please make sure what you are saying is correct. I pray that you never have to go through anything like addiction with anyone you know. As fare as being a flight risk he could have left that day but was on his way to turn hisself in when he was arrested. No propensity for violence. Not a mean bone in his body. I know that people who knew him knew him and people like you who want to spread false information and be hatefule don't matter to our family.

He was a human being who had fallen into drug addiction. He committed crimes for which he should pay. He should be given the very basic life support necessary for an illness. He might should have been in jail but last I checked, robbery doesn't merit a death sentence.

"I believe this man had to turn down every ounce of help that was offered to him and all the community outreach programs that are out there."
Beliefs do not necessarily equal facts. Once again summary judgement based on no actual information.
I do not want my tax dollars going to wars, coorporations, or primo medical insurance for wealthy elected officials. But they do. So how bout I earmark my tax dollars for health care for those in need and you consider your tax dollars to be going for whatever you support?

This is an extremely relevant find, thank you.

I am sure that there are many correctional officers who take these incidents to heart. It has to be a tough job. But this is not an isolated incident- lessons should be learned and more specific protocols should be put in place so that all personel can avoid repeats of these tragic occurances. For the sick inmates sake as well as the mental health of the corrections officers.
"The cost of having 25-50 inmates at a time detoxing in hospital beds guarded by two officers each 24/7/365 would use the entire operating budget " is an absurd scenario and therefore not a valid excuse for lack of due diligence in the face of individual circumstances

obviously u have never been addicted to anything to the extent of heroin....if u knew michael for who he was before he went down the path he did u would be more than happy to share a hospital room with him

Apples and oranges...two entirely different scenarios. However, had a police officer come upon any person lying on the sidewalk, vomiting and in respiratory distress- YES. I would expect them to take he person to the ER ASAP- not just come back and check on him evey so often.

I think the State or County, if they chose to lock up criminals (and they do) must use judicious care and caution to prevent unnecessary death in their facility. This person wasn't laying in an ally, he was a ward of the County, they have some responsibility in this. It wasn't an overdose and I wonder if it was from detox that many days later.

thats a whole different situation

Its sad that you think its ok for people who get hooked on mommy's pain pills and moves to heroine cause its cheaper, and shoot up with dirty puddle water on a cooking spoon to be addicts. and i'm supposed to feel compassion! wait till the junky is kicking in your front door with a illeagal gun to steal your stuff while you and the kids are home. it was his idea to stick that needle in his arm. the person you should be pissed with is the mom and dad who raised him. if they took an active part in his life instead showing him their disfuctional mess of a life and abuse for five seconds. or giving him cash instead of love, he may have had a chance at life. they're the same people who act all suprised when the police call looking for him saying all the while " not my son, no way!!! not him." knowing 20 mins earlier he took money out of your purse to get drugs. here is your paper tissue. sob if you want. be lucky its not 25 cents worth of copper or a rusty shank with the life choices he's made so far. and as for judging damn right! i work hard for the things my family and i enjoy why didn't he do the same thing. i pulled myself up by hard work, not sobbing in the corner like a little girl with a skinned knee cause life at home wasn't ideal. he wanted to be cool and is now paying the price. what they should give them all is life cause every crime they committ changes someone else's forever. the victims have no closure and these people only show guilt if it get's charges dropped.
