Three people at the Calgary Remand Centre were treated with naloxone on Sunday evening after paramedics received a call to attend to patients in “medical distress.”
According to the Ministry of Justice and Solicitor General, the inmates became unresponsive while being admitted to the centre. AHS confirmed Monday they were called at about 5:45 p.m.
Once the inmates became responsive again, they were taken to hospital by ambulance, the ministry said.
The ministry said the three inmates were brought back to the remand centre after being examined.
The three patients received medical assistance from the correctional facility’s staff before they were sent to area hospitals, AHS said.
The ministry said there were no serious injuries reported to inmates or staff in the incident.
