July 9, 2026 – Mojo, a synthetic cannabinoid that can be sprayed on a piece of paper and ingested, has been linked to multiple overdoses behind bars. West Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office Chief of Criminal Operations Major Kevin Devall said that it’s an issue penal facilities across the country are dealing with. WBRSO reported that the overdoses took place in the booking area of the detention center after a work-release inmate allegedly brought Mojo into the jail. According to Devall, the inmate was found intoxicated at a job site and taken back to the jail, where he was subject to a search and went through a scanner.
