Seminole County Jail

Medications

Interview with Jessica, Sarah and Curt


JM: Did you always have access to necessary medications?
Jessica: You could have medications if you made a sick call to medical or if your doctor transferred papers over to the jail.
Sarah: I went off my bi polar med in jail and it took about a week and a half to get back on something. What they give you is the cheapest thing they can to just pacify the problem.
Curt: i do not take any meds.

JM: How did you get your medications?
Jessica: There was a pill cart that would come around to the cells at night and deliver people their medications or you would get called up to medical to receive your medication.
Sarah: the nurse came at ten in the morning and at 10 at night.
Curt: see above.

JM: What types of punishments were incurred for abuse of drugs?
Jessica: You would probably have to go to lock-down isolation for 10 days or so for violating the rules with the medications.
Sarah: you were put in the box. in solitary. usually they just put you there for 30 days and you lost your state time
Curt: i didnt see any of that.
