Bryce: I was not on medication. Med cart did come three times a day though.

JM: How did you get your medications?
Nancy: Detention nurse came at 6:15am(morning meds),4:30pm(afternoon meds),& between 7pm-9pm(evening meds). Meds not given (even aspirin) w/out previous "kite" sent&nurses approval.
Bryce: I wasn't on any medications while I was in the jail. Others would get their medications at the right times, and have to take them in front on the nurse and deputy.

JM: What types of punishments were incurred for abuse of drugs? Did you ever witness this?
Nancy: Have no knowledge of "street-drugs" in facility.however all forms of pill-meds were-crushed-by-nurse prior to-receiving to avoid inmates "cheeking" meds to-save-for-later/or other-inmates.
Bryce: I never witnessed any abuse of drugs in the short time I was there. I'm sure the punishment would of been lock down, or maybe even a new charge.
