JM: Did you always have access to necessary medications? PJ: n/a Katherine: NO its the worst place ever to get medical
attention. If you had an emergency...and told
the nurse when she finally came around, they
dont care they would tell you to fill out a sick
call request and it would take days for you to
get the treatment you needed. Jimmy: sometimes Baldy: no, Im on psychiatric pills that help me with my
schizophrenia, and they dont give those to me. Max: no Karen: no as a matter of fact I went in there with some
and they took it from me and refused to give it
to me Richard: yes the medical staff is pretty decent Danielle: i am diabetic and high blood pressure so i had
my meds. but you had to wait 2 days to get
tylenol for a headache

Once in the early morning and once after dinner. Jimmy: dont really know didnt complain if i had a
headache and didnt need any prescritions Baldy: the nurse gives me my other meds. Max: they refused to give me mine Karen: I guess you see the nurse Richard: at a cell door from a nurse or someone else from
medical staff when they come around at med time Danielle: the nurse came 2x a day to give meds and then
she would come during the day to do nurse call.

another outside charge added onto the ones you
