Kitsap County Jail

Medications

Interview with Eric, Big Kim and Josh


JM: Did you always have access to necessary medications?
Eric: No when I was arrested and admitted I told them that I wore contacts and needed solution and a case for them I was told basically to damn bad I shouldn't have gotten arrested I had to sit there for 4 days with contacts in my eyes and no way of wetting them. When I mentioned it to staff I was told to take them out and throw them away,when I told staff that I couldn't see without them I was then told "Oh Well" deal with it.
Big Kim: You have limited access to medications, you can see the jailhouse Doctor and remind they of any meds you are prescribed on the outside, It is highly important that you state this at the booking desk upon arrival at the jail initially.. Give both your Doctors name and phone number if possible..
Josh: i didnt take any meds

JM: How did you get your medications?
Eric: Was not permitted access to it!
Big Kim: They bring around a cart with the meds several times a day, don't try to distract the guard to steal from the cart, there's nothing there worth it meaning narcotics...forget it..
Josh: see above

JM: What types of punishments were incurred for abuse of drugs?
Eric: They had drugs!! Wait how did YOU know they had drugs?????
Big Kim: If you manage to smuggle in controlled substances, you are subject to additional charges if caught... Also remember each tank is likely to contain a jailhouse informant who will rat you out at first chance to lessen their own sentence or circumstance..
Josh: i dont know
