Iowa fires prison nurses who gave COVID vaccine overdoses to inmates

The Iowa Department of Corrections has fired two nurses who gave large overdoses of coronavirus vaccine to dozens of inmates at the Fort Madison prison in April, an agency official said Monday.  Department spokesman Cord Overton said in an email to the Des Moines Register that the nurses had been terminated. Overton did not identify them, or cite a legal reason for keeping their names private.  The incident happened April 20 at the maximum security prison for men. Authorities said at the time that 77 inmates were given up to six times the proper dose for the Pfizer version of the coronavirus vaccine. The department has never explained how the overdoses happened.

Iowa prison security chief hired after Anamosa deaths faces challenges

Des Moines Register ANAMOSA Two months after the violent deaths of a pair prison employees, Iowa s newly hired prison security czar has walked into a system that s still reeling in the aftermath.  Since the killings, allegedly by two prisoners in a botched escape attempt, staff at Iowa prisons twice have been assaulted by inmates; a prisoner died by suicide under supposedly close supervision; a search turned up caches of bomb-making materials; and prison programs remain shuttered for security reasons. There also are four ongoing investigations into the circumstances surrounding the slayings. Even so, Brian Foster, the new director of institution security, is taking time to acquaint himself with the details of Iowa s prisons before taking decisive action, he told the Des Moines Register in his first public comments.
