FORT COLLINS, Colo.—The lockdown ends after an inmate strapped to a stretcher is wheeled down a fluorescent-lighted hallway and into a secure room, where he is met by firefighters, EMTs and more uniformed deputies.
The 32-year-old started having seizures, exceeding the treatment abilities of the Larimer County Jail’s medical team.
Emergencies at the jail require a facility-wide lockdown for security reasons, meaning hundreds of inmates are sent to their double-bunked cells until a situation is resolved, reported the Coloradoan.
