Medications

Interview with Tammy, Tiffany, Sarah, Rachel and Betty

JM: Did you always have access to necessary medications?
Tammy: when booked into jail, they find out about health history. if your on meds, the medical department will make sure you get your medication. If you got sick - you would put a request to go to see the doctor or nurse. then once seeing them if needed they would prescribe medication for you.
Tiffany: Yes i believe you must have a script. Nurse dispenses twice a day i believe.
Sarah: No. You have to make a call sheet to be seen by a DR and it usually takes two days .
Rachel: i do not take medications
Betty: yes they called medicine early in the morning but i was not required to take any medicine

JM: How did you get your medications?
Tammy: the nurses or medical assistants would come around 2-3 times aday. Well it actually depends on how often you had to take the meds. but medical department would bring it to you for sure
Tiffany: N/a i was not on any meds. But they would line up morning and night to recieve meds dispensed by nurse who comes to the cell.
Sarah: I dont not take any medications . If you wanted asprin they had it on the cart when they brought peoples medications around. The nurse comes up and drops off people meds in the morning noon and night
