Boston, Ma., 06/12/18, Dawn Dingee is the mother of Stephen Gonzalez, who died of an overdose in April a few hours after being released from jail. Stephen had been on methadone but was forced off it in jail. Dawn went to the Suffolk County House of Correction to pick up her son's belongings, but all she received was this check for $82.71 and was told his things were disposed of because it had been past 30 days.
