An inmate at a federal prison in Oregon faked a suicide attempt to obtain medical treatment for a serious infection due to low health care staffing levels, exposing a broader staffing crisis in Bureau of Prisons facilities.
Staff reported fatigue and inability to perform duties due to severe understaffing, reflecting worsening conditions at federal prisons nationwide.
Investigators discovered significant gaps in essential services and security at the Federal Correctional Institution, Sheridan, with a backlog of 725 blood and urine test orders and 274 X-ray orders.
