Tyler Cole, a 32-year-old inmate, died of a methadone overdose at Connecticut’s Garner Correctional Institution, prompting a lawsuit alleging negligent medical care. One nurse involved, Isaac Folorunsho, held a fraudulent nursing degree from a Florida school under federal indictment. Lawmakers, including Sen. Saud Anwar, criticized the Department of Correction’s oversight and called for health services to shift to the Department of Public Health. Cole’s death highlights systemic failures, staff shortages, and poor inmate healthcare management within the DOC.
