Medications

Interview with Bee, Anthony and Clarence

JM: Did you always have access to necessary medications?
Bee: No. If you got hurt in the morning you had to wait on the nurse during her normal runs which for my block was around 6 pm. The only way she's coming early is if it is an emergency. They don't care though. I have asthma and I am a diabetic. They never got my medicine from my family. They tried to give me an inhaler that was there for everyone who had asthma. I don't where the other inmates mouths have been.
Anthony: no you had to put in a request for advil if you had a headache and if you were lucky you would get it 4 days later
Clarence: Yes, although I was not on any medication so I didn't use this service.

JM: How did you get your medications?
Bee: I never did!!
Anthony: i dont take any medications so i didnt have to worry about it but they have a nurse that comes twice a day once in the morning and once at night
Clarence: I didn't have any prescription medication, so I really didn't use this. Occasionally I wanted some aspirin and they provided this.

JM: What types of punishments were incurred for abuse of drugs? Did you ever witness this?
Bee: There were none. People had pills for days. To stop abuse of medicine they tried to count how many ills they gave you but no matter what the number they wrote down you still were able to get more.
Anthony: yeah there was someone who got caught with someone elses pills in his cell and the get taken to seg and they do a investigation
Clarence: I never witnessed this, and have no idea what the punishment is if you did. I would imagine the penalty would be harsh.
