JM: Did you always have access to necessary medications? Karl: yea Lisa: no Zach: yes if you need meds you can get them. Kelly: yes they were good with meds Jeff: Yes but I didn't have any. Maurice: Yes the med cart came threw 3 times a
day plus bed meds Jose: no you couldnt just ask for advil cuz a headache
plus it took forever to be seen Kelly: I did get to take medicines that I needed. Ken: No. Medication would come at pill call. I had a
absessed tooth that i though was going to kill me
one night and couldnt get a guard to call a nurse
for me for something as simple as tylenol.
JM: How did you get your medications? Karl: med cart/nurse Lisa: nurse, but I was not given all my medications Zach: there is a nurse that comes around three times a
day and let each inmate out to see the nurce. Kelly: you would be called out at certain times of the
day and the nurse would be there to give you your
meds Jeff: A nurse would administer them to inmates but I did
not take anything while I was in there except for
the occasional tylenol. Maurice: The nurse would bring them to me and
anybody else that needed them could get
them too they even offerd sleep ads and
toms Jose: the med cart came in twice a day to give meds but
each unit had different time es to recieve Kelly: I took my medicine in the early morning and at
night. The guard would announce med time and
everyone taking them would exit their cell go to
the bottom floor of the pod. We would line up and
a nurse would look us up in her book and match our
meds then give them to us. We had to take them in
front of her. Ken: Medications come three to four times a day when a
nurse that probley took her sweet ass time chooses
to come and hand them out. Also they wont give you
anything unless you have signed up for sick call
and seen a doctor.
JM: What types of punishments were incurred for abuse of drugs? Did you ever witness this? Karl: hole Lisa: I dont know Zach: im not sure I"ve never witness it. but im sure
you would go to the hole and lose all privlegse Kelly: I never witness any one abusing there drugs so I
don't know what kind of punishment would be givin
for this Jeff: I never did anything like that but I seen inmates
taken to the hole and was even given new charges. Maurice: I have no idea i have never seen anybody
with drugs in jail or ever get caught with
drugs so i cant give a answer Jose: i didnt witness it but i was told it was 180 in
the hole which is a room with only ur reflection Kelly: You could possibly pick up another charge. You
get sent to the hole and lose any good time you
have. I only witnessed a few girls going to the
hole for smoking cigarettes. Ken: Some people was caught selling there pills and i
believe was sent to segregation and where nolonger
allowed there medication again.
