Can a jail legally withhold you from taking a prescription drug?
jessica asked:
I am on Methadone and they wouldn’t give it to me in jail. It causes Extreme withdrawl and I think that’s cruel and unusal punishment. I go to a clinic every day a mile from the jail and someone could bring it. Is there a law somewhere about withholding meds. like this? Like I said, the withdrawl is unbearable and worse than Heroin.
