The Pennsylvania Institutional Law Project (PILP) and the Abolitionist Law Center (ALC), wrote a letter to bring attention to a matter of grave concern at the Allegheny County Jail. Our client, Jerome Maynor, a 71-year-old man diagnosed with depression and opioid use disorder, had been receiving medication-assisted treatment (MAT), methadone, under the supervision of his prescribing physician since January 2019. On March 15, 2021, he was abruptly removed from this necessary medication upon his incarceration at Allegheny County Jail , causing him serious harm with potentially dire consequences. Read the full letter, which urges immediate action here.
