Durham County Jail

Medications

Interview with Kristen and Grant


JM: Did you always have access to necessary medications?
Kristen: yes
Grant: not on anything

JM: How did you get your medications?
Kristen: called me to come get it
Grant: not me, but med staff came to pod to give out meds for inmates who needed them

JM: What types of punishments were incurred for abuse of drugs?
Kristen: I don't know I only take ones the dr says
Grant: if someone caught with drugs, lock down (not let out of cell) for everyone in entire pod, search of all cells and all inmates

My sister is in jail and they are not giving her the medications that her Dr has prescribed for her. What is this world coming to?
