Shawn: A nurse would pass them out at pill pass
Tom: There was a small office that had ibuprofen and the different medications that inmates had to take on a daily basis.
Linda: The nurse would come to each cell to hand out any medications to the inmates who were taking them each night.
Margaret: THEY WOULD CALL THE "REDLINE MEDS" OR "PREGO MEDS" A COUPLE TIMES A DAY AND THEY'DE LINE UP FOR THEIR MEDS.
