Interview with Bee
JM: Did you always have access to necessary medications?
Bee: No. If you got hurt in the morning you had to
wait on the nurse during her normal runs which for
my block was around 6 pm. The only way she's
coming early is if it is an emergency. They
don't care though. I have asthma and I am a
diabetic. They never got my medicine from my
family. They tried to give me an inhaler that was
there for everyone who had asthma. I don't
where the other inmates mouths have been.
JM: How did you get your medications?
Bee: I never did!!
JM: What types of punishments were incurred for abuse of drugs?
Bee: There were none. People had pills for days. To
stop abuse of medicine they tried to count how
many ills they gave you but no matter what the
number they wrote down you still were able to get
more.
