Section 01
Why Do Inmates Die in the David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center?
Oklahoma jails, including the David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center, are legally required to provide adequate medical care and protection from violence. Yet deaths continue to happen due to systemic failures:
- Medical Neglect: Ignoring serious conditions like heart attacks, seizures, or diabetic emergencies.
- Withdrawal Protocol Failures: Alcohol and opioid withdrawal can be fatal. Leaving an inmate to "detox" in a cell without medical supervision is unconstitutional.
- Failure to Protect: Placing a non-violent offender in a cell with a known violent predator.
