Medications

Interview with Jessica, Sarah, Curt, Brad and Peter

JM: Did you always have access to necessary medications?
Jessica: You could have medications if you made a sick call to medical or if your doctor transferred papers over to the jail.
Sarah: I went off my bi polar med in jail and it took about a week and a half to get back on something. What they give you is the cheapest thing they can to just pacify the problem.
Curt: i do not take any meds.
Brad: Yes, they handed out medications, twice a day.
Peter: Yes.

JM: How did you get your medications?
Jessica: There was a pill cart that would come around to the cells at night and deliver people their medications or you would get called up to medical to receive your medication.
Sarah: the nurse came at ten in the morning and at 10 at night.
Curt: see above.
Brad: The nurse would make the rounds.
Peter: If you took meds daily they would have a med call in the morning and afternoon where you would line up and recieve meds. Or you could fill out a sick call to see a doctor and he would give over the counter meds.

JM: What types of punishments were incurred for abuse of drugs? Did you ever witness this?
Jessica: You would probably have to go to lock-down isolation for 10 days or so for violating the rules with the medications.

Curt: i didnt see any of that.
Brad: Punishment was stiff. 30 day in the box.
Peter: 60 days in confinement, loss of all gain time, and possibly loose your visitation priviledges.
