Broward County Jail

Medications

Interview with James

JM: Did you always have access to necessary medications?
James: When I went there, I was taking Lexapro and Xanax on the street. I was given Pamelor by them, then they switched me to Prozac (against my will). Laxatives and Tylenol were given at request by the inmate. I did ACLU to get sedative, and had to get a court order to force BSO to serve me a Kosher meal too. NO!

JM: How did you get your medications?
James: Continuous bitching and complaining. I had to file a complaint with the ACLU before I got a Required sedative (Visteral which is Benadryl plus one other chemical).

JM: What types of punishments were incurred for abuse of drugs?
James: Lock down, and I guess loss of gain time for hoarding.
