Name not reported
A woman was held at the Cibola facility in Milan, New Mexico, after arriving in late 2021, and was found unresponsive in her housing unit two days later. An autopsy, as cited in her family's lawsuit, reported toxic levels of methamphetamine, fentanyl, codeine and morphine in her system. The lawsuit argues she could not have obtained the drugs without staff complicity and says key security footage from around her death was deleted despite requests to preserve it. The lawsuit names CoreCivic and several employees and seeks damages.
