(Cranston, RI) -- Philanthropist and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg visited Rhode Island on Monday. Bloomberg said he was prompted to visit the state because of what's being done here to combat the opioid crisis; specifically, he visited the Adult Correctional Institutions facility in Cranston to participate in a roundtable discussion regarding the ACI's addiction treatment program. Governor Gina Raimondo said the initiative has reduced deaths after inmates are released from jail by sixty percent.
