Medications

Interview with Charles, Rich, Kevin, Molly, Jeremy, Chad and Laura

JM: Did you always have access to necessary medications?
Charles: Yes.
Rich: yes
Kevin: Yes, if you could get to see the nurse. You had to put a medical form in and the nurse would decide if you needed to see a doctor, often you would be better by the time you could see the doctor.
Molly: no
Jeremy: Yes
Chad: I got sick one time, and never got seen. I sent in multiple requests every day and finally got some sort of cold pill for two days
Laura: i couldnt walk in my cell amd get some tylenol if i needed it but i guess so

JM: How did you get your medications?
Charles: Pill line.
Rich: had to inform the guard and he would let me go down to medical-but most people lined up in the pod 2 times a day for their meds and the guard gave them out
Kevin: The officer would take your to the nurse if your name was called in your particular dorm.
Molly: i was denied
Jeremy: By going to the nurses office
Chad: The officers had to administer them
Laura: they did have a nurse in the jail. im sure she or he is how you would get your medication.

JM: What types of punishments were incurred for abuse of drugs? Did you ever witness this?
Charles: 30 days in lockdown.
Rich: i was caught with a valium and was sentenced to 4 hours locked in my cell with no access to privilages
Kevin: They would kick you out of the trustee dorm.
Molly: i dont know
Jeremy: Sent to the lockdown pod with 1 hour per day outside the cell.
Chad: It was hard to abuse drugs in the jail because the officers administered them. the psychotic or narcotic drugs were only given in medical and they made sure you swallowed them.
