JM: Did you always have access to necessary medications?
Eric: I did not know you could get medication while in jail. This is new for me.
Dominic: i had access to medications which i was on daily. a nurse would deliver the medications and preset times each day.
Carlos: I didn't need medications except for one time when I had a cold. I put in my request for the nurse but by the time they got to me my cold had gone away. It takes at least a couple of weeks to be seen by a nurse unless if its an emergency.
