On Aug. 13, Keystone Correctional Services, Inc. (KSCSI) Supervisor Lester Smith observed a parolee attempt to stand at his bunk. The parolee immediately grabbed his chest and rolled onto the floor. Smith radioed for assistance as the parolee was unresponsive. Agent Matthew McCann immediately responded to the parolee's aide. Both McCann and Smith rolled the parolee on to his back and checked his vitals. At this time, he was breathing and had a pulse; however, the parolee still would not respond. An AED was connected to the parolee because his breathing started to become shallower and his pulse weakened. In order to assist the parolee's breathing, McCann administered two breaths while utilizing a bag valve mask device. After the two breaths were administered, the parolee immediately began coughing. He was then rolled onto his side in the recovery position. The parolee then began breathing easier and was becoming more coherent. McCann along with Smith both exhibited heroism when it came to help save the parolee's life.
