JM: How did you get your medications?
Sarah: A nurse would hand out med's through a glass window with an Officer at her side.
Paul: The guards would yell "MED-CALL" at the top of their lungs at 11p.m. and 5a.m. waking everyone up, even if they did not have meds Both times were during the "lights out" time designated for sleeping
Allan: through a feeding slot! By mean, lazy medical staff that doesn't really give a shit about anyone in custody !!
Erik: You either had to go to the nurses shack or at time if the meds were'nt narcotic they'd give a month or so tho KOP ( keep on person)

JM: What types of punishments were incurred for abuse of drugs? Did you ever witness this?
Sarah: I don't know personally.. but I assume lockdown... single cell one hour a day out... severity from days to months.
Paul: I did witness someone getting caught "cheeking" their pills and trading them for coffee. They were transferred to solitary confinement for 30 days, and I was told they lost part of theor good behavior time
Allan: I don't know, Ad. Seg I suppose, extra charges, loss of good time, I never saw anyone get caught with drugs or "Pruno" It was there, they just never caught them I guess
Erik: It was hard to abuse the drugs because dosage was monitored. We did have guys drink the hand cleaner for it's alcohol content
