Two inmates were hospitalized Tuesday after deputies found them unresponsive, from possible drug overdoses, as they prepared to be transported by bus to another jail facility.
A deputy of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department discovered the two inmates unresponsive in the back of an inmate transport bus at 11:05 a.m. Monday at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility on the 400 block of Bauchet Street, the Sheriff’s Information Bureau told City News Service.
The deputy administered Narcan to one of the unresponsive inmates before instructing another inmate on how to revive the second unresponsive inmate with the life-saving substance.
The inmates were on a bus headed for the North County Correctional Facility in Santa Clarita, according to the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.
Both inmates were taken to a hospital, where they showed stable vital signs.
Video of the scene shows several ambulances arriving at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility.
