Episode Synopsis

Donald Hutson is one of hundreds of Missouri inmates who have overdosed in the past two years. He died in September 2018 at Missouri Eastern Correctional Center. According to an internal Missouri Department of Corrections investigation, Hutson was strapped face down to a medical backboard for 30-45 minutes while he was overdosing – which is not in accordance with standard operating procedures at the prison.
