"As part of an ongoing effort to track overdose incidents in federal custody (McKendy, Biro & Keown, 2019; McKendy et al., 2020), this report provides an overview of overdose incidents that occurred in federal custody during the 2018/2019 fiscal year period. Information is presented regarding the prevalence and nature of overdose incidents, the circumstances under which overdose incidents occur, patterns in staff and medical responses, and the characteristics of offenders involved. Overview information is presented for all cases; however, suspected fatal overdoses are excluded from detailed analysis due to the unavailability of investigation findings at the time of writing"--Executive summary, page [iv].
