Medications

Interview with KENNY


JM: Did you always have access to necessary medications?
KENNY: They would not give me a laxative. I had to get my mom to come up there and bring me a whole box of them and they wouldn't even give me what was left in the box when I was released.

JM: How did you get your medications?
KENNY: They have a nurse there most of the time that passed out the medicines or the officers passed it out.

JM: What types of punishments were incurred for abuse of drugs?
KENNY: I didn't see anything that related to that.
