Detainee Eli Addington spoke with the
Las Cruces Sun-News on Thursday from inside the Otero County Detention Center (OCDC), and claimed nearly half of the facility s 150 inmates tested positive for COVID-19. We re really being denied any kind of medical treatment. Anytime we see the news or anything about COVID on TV, it s hospital rooms, doctors or nurses. Every other day or so, we ll get a half a glass of Gatorade. They re giving us vitamins, Melatonin to help us sleep every night and they give us Vitamin D and some Zinc, but other than that, we re being denied any other medical treatment, and that s the real frustration, he said.
