Authorities urge fight against prescription abuse in Kansas
U S Attorney Barry Grissom in Wichita urged residents to join The Medicine Abuse Project noting overdose deaths exceed auto fatalities. He cited teen risk, 2,500 daily first-time teen users, and a case linking oxycodone to heroin in several counties. A Haysville clinic case led to 30 and 33 year prison terms for a doctor and wife. Take Back Day events collect unused drugs statewide, with Sedgwick sites at Zoo, Oaklawn, and hazardous waste center open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

Kansas jails struggle to meet needs of mentally ill
In Kansas scarce mental health resources push jail populations higher. Sedgwick County Sheriff Hinshaw failed for three years to establish a mental health pod, while Johnson and Shawnee counties run dedicated units and a forensic team. About 49 inmates would be housed in such a pool, with 43 facing felony charges including murder or attempted murder.
