Indiana Jails Struggle with Opioid Abuse

(Indianapolis, IN)--The opioid crisis in Indiana is presenting particular difficulties for sheriffs and jail supervisors, with people arrested for drugs sometimes risking their lives to keep their fix. 

The Indianapolis Star reports that in August, alone, two people in or on their way to the Marion County Jail were hospitalized for drug overdoses. 

Many jails are turning to scanners similar to those used at airports by the TSA.
