A woman from San Leandro pleaded guilty on Friday in federal court to two counts of distributing fentanyl that resulted in the death of an inmate in Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, the Department of Justice announced.
Kameron Patricia Reid, 38, was incarcerated in May of 2021 and admitted to distributing fentanyl to other inmates; she had hidden the narcotic inside a body cavity, authorities said.
On May 16, 2021, she gave two inmates fentanyl and watched them snort it. Shortly thereafter, they both appeared intoxicated and Victim 1 lapsed into unconsciousness and became motionless near her bunk, the DOJ said. In order to avoid getting in trouble, Reid admitted that she did not notify anyone in the jail that Victim 1 appeared to have overdosed. Instead, she flushed any remaining fentanyl she had down the toilet, she said in her plea agreement.
Eventually another inmate called for assistance for Victim 1 after several hours. Paramedics arrived but she was pronounced dead.
Investigators said that Reid lied to them about her involvement in the woman’s death. In her plea agreement, she admitted that the fentanyl that she gave Victim 1 had killed her.
Reid pleaded guilty to two counts of distributing fentanyl and faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, a life term of supervised release and a fine of $1 million.
She is scheduled to be sentenced in federal court in Oakland on Oct. 28.

What about the person who missed the drugs during the cavity search?
That person should share in the responsibility too.
I hope Kameron gets the maximum sentence.
You should really stop watching TV if you think inmates are subject to routine cavity searches in any jail in the United States.
Cavity searched require a search warrant which have to be based on probable cause. Then they are conducted by medical personnel not deputies.

The hubris of assumption is always disastrous.
Funny, I was thinking something very similar.
I should never had assumed you watch TV. I will just go with you do not understand the protections provided by the Bill of Rights.
Most drugs don’t get into prison through someone’s cavity. Are you assuming that is they only way it could get into the prison? It appears you do.
Schmerber v. California, 384 U.S. 757 (1966): body cavity search requires a search warrant to be issued before the search.
Additionally, the search must be conducted under sanitary conditions and only by one of the following:
Physician, Nurse practitioner, Registered nurse, Licensed vocational nurse, or Emergency medical technician Level II licensed to practice in California.
Close the bloody border. Joey is just as responsible as the woman.

A woman from San Leandro pled guilty on Friday
fixed that for ya
Why don’t they send her over to San Quentin and give her a room with a view. She can spend some quality time with the boys on death row and save California a lot of time and money.

Fentanyl should be freely provided to all inmates for medicinal use.
