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?

It is said prisoners get the same treatment as those on the streets (outside). This is not true. I can give countless stories about myself and others that were on meds and then was denied same by medical staff and/substituted for another cheaper or less potent meds. Methadone is a narcotic and lots of men and woman take it for different reason's. In Durham a pregnant woman is the only ones allowed methadone. Also for cancer patients who are on pain meds, you'll be given 800 mgs ibuprofen. That is the number one prescribed drug for pain. This is America and somewhere it is writted innocent until proven guilty. This is not true. It's the other way around. There have been several cases of death and suicide in the Durham county detention facility.
