- DOC currently only stocks NARCAN at A posts of housing units, leading to operational issues
- A Board of Correction report documented a delay in NARCAN administration due to unavailability at an A post
- Multiple instances were cited where officers observed signs of opioid overdose but failed to administer NARCAN, resulting in deaths
