Medications

Interview with Nelson, Chris and Brad

JM: Did you always have access to necessary medications?
Nelson: Because of my condition, I needed medications. I wanted them to see me and kept making requests, and they kept brushing me off. To me, they really didn't want to deal with it. I did get my medicine, but I was having other problems that they kept brushing me off. I sent a letter to my attorney asking him to act on my behalf. After awhile, writing a letter to my attorney helped because I was seen by a nurse. They tried to make it look like they were doing something.
Chris: no ..they would let you have it if they thought you needed it
Brad: Yes it was always offered

JM: How did you get your medications?
Nelson: The nurse came around and checked your armband, then gave you the meds. You have to bring water to the pill call line.
Chris: They brought them to you from nurses station. Sometimes you went to the nurses station on your own if they didnt bring it to you
Brad: They would bring a cart around for med call and give ghenmeds to the inmates that had prescriptions only them

JM: What types of punishments were incurred for abuse of drugs? Did you ever witness this?
Nelson: I was told if they found it on you (illegal drugs) that they would charge you with possession. I never saw it happen.
Chris: segragation...I have seen it happen. YOu could lose all of your priviledges and then be left by yourself in lockup
Brad: Really if they got caught selling their meds they just took them away from them and they didnt get them back
