Hanna Robb
Hanna Robb, 23, of Jeffersonville, died while held at the Floyd County Jail in Indiana, on March 30 or March 31, 2016.

Her father, Mark Robb, sued the sheriff's department and jail staff, alleging they ignored obvious signs of opioid withdrawal, did not follow the jail's own protocols, and allowed her to die. Court documents show the jail's insurer agreed to settle the complaint for $150,000.
