Medications

Interview with Ford, Miss T, Reta, Julie and Hillary

JM: Did you always have access to necessary medications?
Ford: I took no medication. Though an aspirin was impossible to come by.
Miss T: Yes. I was taking an antidepressant and Motrin for a back injury.
Reta: the medicine cart came by twice a day morning and night
Julie: Yes, everyday, anyone who needed meds was given some by a nurse.
Hillary: i didnt need any medication

JM: How did you get your medications?
Ford: I received no medication. The procedure was a general pill call or a visit to the cell by a nurse. Heard lots of complaints about the medication process
Miss T: A nurse dispensed medications in the morning and in the evening, through the slot in the door in the main room.
Reta: nurse through glass window with guard watching. be sure to stick out your tongue after swallowing so the guard can see you took your pill or you'll get yelled at. I felt like I was in kindergarten.
Julie: I didn't need any.
Hillary: i didnt get any medication or need any medication. i was able to observe others though, they would be called and go to the door where the nurse was at and she would give them there meds and watch the take it

JM: What types of punishments were incurred for abuse of drugs? Did you ever witness this?
Ford: Loss of good time. Additional charges and isolation.
Miss T: I don't know, but I assume it was loss of privileges or added time.
Reta: didn't see anyone get busted in there for that. usually the hole is the punishment for bad behavior-fighting, yelling, being rude to guards. the hole is a cell without light or windows.
Julie: We were raided 3 times in my 15 days there, and each time it was because they thought some one had drugs. So I'm sure the punishment was harsh.
Hillary: i did not witness anyone using any kind of drugs or being punished for using drugs and i have no idea what the punishment would be
