WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWNY) - While a Watertown man waits to go to jail, his legal team is working to see that he receives methadone in the Jefferson County Jail. That means going to court against the county.
The civil liberties groups NYCLU and ACLU are backing a Watertown resident with a lawsuit against Jefferson County and staff at the sheriff’s office.
“This case is about ensuring that our client, P.G., has continued access to methadone treatment, which he receives for opioid addiction,” said Antony Gemmell, NYCLU senior staff attorney.
