Medications

Interview with Girliegirl, Paul and Tyler

JM: Did you always have access to necessary medications?
Girliegirl: yes
Paul: yes
Tyler: Yes, provided your medications were approved.

JM: How did you get your medications?
Girliegirl: They gave them to me once a day
Paul: carried my inhaler with me
Tyler: They called people for morning and evening meds.

JM: What types of punishments were incurred for abuse of drugs? Did you ever witness this?
Girliegirl: The hole or moved to another facility. Level I went to level II and so on...
Paul: dunno
Tyler: Not sure about drugs. People that were caught smoking were sent to R9 initial jail holding cell for days or weeks.

They don't let you have anything. I was there for 7 days, and was off my meds the entire time. Im an addict, and once an addict finds a stable regimen of doctor prescribed meds(mine are 2 antidepressants,(1 for sleep), and a drug for opiate management and pain. Now a lot of these drugs when taken over long periods will result in dependence, and ultimately withdrawal.

So my stay at OCJ went like this: Intense back pain, restless legs,acid reflux, headaches,and best of all I Slept 3.5 hours in 7 days. Not fun. Ive been out 10 days on meds and I am nowhere near where I was before this debacle.
