Medications

Interview with Jenna and Diane


JM: Did you always have access to necessary medications?
Jenna: no - i brought in my own medication & was given their version & it took over a month to get my original meds returned once i was released - also my doctor was in shock as to what they gave me - it had nothing to do with my meds - fortunately for me the gave me psyc med that pretty much kept me out of it - i couldn't have planned it better myself if i tried
Diane: no

JM: How did you get your medications?
Jenna: a nurse i suppose - but not one that actually knew what was going on - i am hoping it was not a nurse just an assistant - its a scary thought if it was really someone in the health care profession - they would be better suited for a prison death house
Diane: I didn't take any

JM: What types of punishments were incurred for abuse of drugs?
Jenna: never saw abuse - solitary confinement if you refuse to take meds
Diane: Not sure I never did that
