Medications

Interview with Bruce, Jen, Crystal, Allison and Deanne

JM: Did you always have access to necessary medications?
Bruce: Yes, but if you had any, they had to be kept in lockers by the guard office and you would have to go through them to get them if you needed them.
Jen: If you took meds you would go in a morning and evening line to meds
Crystal: Yes but they were locked up
Allison: Yes I took meds .
Deanne: No the nurses did, and medicine was always given at scheduled times.

JM: How did you get your medications?
Bruce: I never had to get any medications, but for the inmates who did, you had to go to the guard office and have them get whatever you had to get
Jen: If you took meds you would go in a morning and evening line to meds and meds had to be preorder by physician from jail
Crystal: They had "med-check" twice a day, morning and night. They would announce this to the yard then you had to go line up near the entrence and you would be allowed to open your med locker one at a time.
Allison: A nurce gives them too you and you keep them at ubed and are supposed to take them ur self
Deanne: Not applicable. I did not have any medications that I needed to take while I was in the Maricopa Tent City Jail.

JM: What types of punishments were incurred for abuse of drugs? Did you ever witness this?
Bruce: I never witnessed any abuse, but would imagine that the offender would be rolled out of the work release program and sent to the tents where they were kept there 24 hours a day and not being allowed to leave for any reason.
Jen: If a person was caught with drugs or anything they weren;t allowed to have they would roll that inmate to the hole for a duration of time
Crystal: If you abused illegal drugs you were immediately taken off work release was stopped and you needed to deal with the new charges. If people were sharing prescription drugs I never witnessed this but I assume a similar repercussion would apply.
Allison: Abuse of ur meds I never did this but I suppose they would take them away from u if u abuse
Deanne: Not applicable because I never witnessed anyone trying to abuse drugs, so therefore I never saw anyone being punished for the abuse of drugs.
