Poison letter

A mailroom supervisor at the Atwater Prison in California has died following a suspected exposure to an unknown substance. 

Reports are saying the man came into contact with mail that was saturated with a substance, that some are now speculating was fentanyl. The man, Marc Fischer, was processing mail at the facility when he began to feel unwell, as his symptoms worsened he was taken to hospital where he subsequently died. 

An investigation is currently ongoing into the incident, one facet of which must include safety issues, what policies are in place to prevent things like this happening, was the employee wearing gloves, are they taught to not touch their faces, for example, when handling mail. Did this piece of mail transit through the USPS before arriving at the prison, or was it hand delivered? 

We will keep our eyes peeled and update the information when more is released.
