Zombie drug causes alarm in prisons

Several Austrian prisons are currently in a state of emergency: prisoners are getting high on synthetic drugs and even have to be resuscitated, according to staff representatives. The Graz-Jakomini prison and Innsbruck correctional facility are currently affected. 

Drugs are always an issue in prisons. Currently, synthetic narcotics in particular are causing major problems in Graz-Jakomini prison. Last week alone, twelve inmates had to be admitted to hospital with sometimes life-threatening symptoms.
