Medications

Interview with Kyle, Randy, Tyler, Dave and Melissa

JM: Did you always have access to necessary medications?
Kyle: I was lucky enough not to take any but for guys who did they were available. However to validate prescriptions from the streets or doctor's charts could take 4-6 weeks.
Randy: I WAS NOT ON ANY MEDICATIONS.
Tyler: An orderly came to each floor several times a day to give out medications so, yes.
Dave: YES TWICE A DAY THEY CAME AROUND
Melissa: N/A

JM: How did you get your medications?
Kyle: Twice a day the medical cart and nurse would come to the different areas. If you needed special attention they would send for you to be escorted to the specialized medical area.
Randy: FROM WHAT I SAW, TWICE A DAY A NURSE CAME AROUND TO THOSE WHO NEEDED MEDS AND PASSED THEM OUT.
Tyler: My blood pressure was running wild from the time I entered to jail so I was given high blood pressure till the time I left
Dave: THE NURSE CAME TO THE PODS TWICE A DAY TO DISTRIBUTE MEDICATIONS AND YOU COULD GO TO THE DOCTOR IF YOU NEEDED.
Melissa: N/A

JM: What types of punishments were incurred for abuse of drugs? Did you ever witness this?
Kyle: Write ups, loss of priviledges, being sent to the hole. Some had even lost their meds all together because they proved by giving them away or selling them they didn't need them
Randy: I DID SEE ONE PERSON CHEEK THEIR DRUGS WHILE I WAS THERE SO THEY WERE PLACED IN A HIGHER SECURITY UNIT.
Tyler: Jefferson county was very strict when it came to handing out medications so this was never witnessed. I never saw any punishment
Dave: I DID SEE ONE GUY CHEEK HIS MEDICATION AND HE WAS IMMEDIATELY REMOVED AND PLACED ON A HIGHER SECURITY LEVEL IN A DIFFERENT POD.
Melissa: I didn't see any of this.
