The Committee denied reports of a mass transfer of incarcerated persons to a hospital but confirmed one death.
The man, who had been serving a sentence for sexual assault, died of a stroke.
He sought medical attention at the facility’s infirmary, complaining of feeling unwell. After examination, he received medical assistance, and an ambulance was called immediately. Despite the measures taken, the inmate died in the hospital, the Committee stated.
