Boston Inmates Recovering from Drug Mix-Up

September 26, 2001

Two of three inmates who overdosed on the antidepressants they were accidentally given instead of their AIDS medication were returned to the Suffolk County House of Correction in Boston on Monday. A third prisoner remained hospitalized on Monday night but was expected to recover fully. The incident occurred Sunday. Two inmates blacked out and a third suffered a seizure after medics contracted by the jail gave them Elavil instead of Viracept.
