The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) books approximately 35,000 people into County correctional facilities each year. During the intake and screening process, some adults in custody self-report their experiences with medical, mental health, and/or addiction issues to MCSO and Multnomah County Corrections Health staff.
In August 2017, MCSO initiated an investigation into an in-custody death. Over the course of several months, MCSO, in collaboration with the Oregon State Medical Examiner's Office, thoroughly investigated all circumstances leading up to and following the incident. Investigators ultimately determined there were no signs of foul play and no illegal use of drugs while in jail. The investigation also concluded that all standard protocols were followed.
MCSO and Corrections Health remain committed to providing adults in custody with the best care possible. We appreciate the patience of Ms. Glassman's family throughout the investigation and our sympathies go out to everyone impacted by this tragic outcome.
