Medications

Interview with Albert, Borata, Keith, Jon, Innocent17, Taz, Will and James

JM: Did you always have access to necessary medications?
Albert: NO.
Borata: not even a sanitary pad, go figure ass hole!
Keith: Yes.
Jon: They did not provide me with my medication, yet I wasn't there for that long. Many inmates did receive their medication.
Innocent17: NO. And that was a sore point with me. I only got my meds TWICE while I was there. I constantly felt like I was going to seize because lack of my meds. I finally made a big stink about it and almost got beat up by the guards because of it. And I STILL had to wait until the next day.
Taz: N/a
Will: Everyone who needed medications were given to them at a designated time
James: always is a strong word you had access to medications if you have a prescription and receive them during pill call.

JM: How did you get your medications?
Albert: YOU WOULD WAKE UP EARLY AND GO TO SICK CALL AND THEY WOULD TELL YOU TO DRINK A LOT OF WATER AND GIVE YOU 2 TYLENOLS.
Borata: na
Keith: They have med calls 4 times a day.
Jon: After a long process of medical evaluation, psychiatric evaluation, interviews, etc. Twice a day the guards would call your name and number and you came out of your cell and they gave you medication.
Taz: n/a
Will: I personally didn't take any medications but in order to have received them you needed to get evaluated by a nurse first
James: I got my medications from the nurse that comes at the designated times for pill call. she came 4 times a day.

JM: What types of punishments were incurred for abuse of drugs? Did you ever witness this?
Albert: ???
Keith: Isolation time, in the hole.
Jon: I don't know.
Taz: n/a
Will: I used to see people crush up medications and then snort them. A corrections officer caught an inmate, and he was transferred to a different dorm
