Kathleen: Yes I always saw a nurse twice a day.
Holly: No u did not have access to necessary meds
Damon: I actually , surprisingly , had access to most medications needed.
Wade: An initial exam was offered to all inmates and there was no seeming lack of attention or care to needing inmates.

JM: How did you get your medications?
Jennifer: a nurse comes and yells medication and the inmates line up in a line to get there meds. this could also take up to 1 hour before you get your meds. they also keep alot of the inmates under heavy doses so they are like zombies while they are in the jail.
Robert: a nurse came to your cell block to give meds out. they would line up and hand them out to the inmates.
Kathleen: A nurse would administer the medication to me 2 times a day and I would have to take it in front of her .
Holly: You would get ur meds before they served lunch and before they served dinner that was it it came on a med cart..
Damon: to get medication you had to talk to the doctor and tell him what was wrong . before they would put you on medicine , you must meet with the psych people so they can evaluate you.
Wade: I had no medications to receive, I as a person receive no medications, but as I've learned an inmate is to talk with a nurse, explain the symptoms, offer a regular doctors advice, and they can receive the necessary medication.

JM: What types of punishments were incurred for abuse of drugs? Did you ever witness this?
Jennifer: you were put of lock up if you were abusing drugs or handing out drugs. they were very strict about that and no I never witnessed this I just heard about it.
Robert: the punishments that were incurred for abuse of drugs were being put on lock up. being charged with something else, or your good time getting taken away.
Kathleen: If you abused your drugs you got put on lock up and got in serious trouble . No I have never witnessed this before.
Holly: No I never witnessed this and had no idea of drugsbeing brought into the jail at all it was too strict for anything
Damon: I don't know the punishment because I dont know or know of anyone who was ever caught using drugs.in the facility.
Wade: I did not witness this, generally though from prior interviews a punishment could range from a loss of privilege (i.e tv loss) to a term in the hole, to an actual official charge and state prosecution (a rare instance in most cases).
