[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 406144, member: 1233"] If you are hooked on a drug you really are not going to care about someone else's saliva, DDD. those of us with-o drug problems would care, but we wouldn't take someone else's medications anyway. Drug addicts stick straws covered wtih snot from other users up their noses, share needles, even rub drugs into open wounds. They are also far more likely to indulge in swapping fluids by unprotected sex. So a little saliva isn't as big an issue to them as it is to those with-o the problem. those in jail of any kind do that and more to get drugs. Budget cuts for Department of Juvenile Justice facilities mean that a LOT of things are not done properly. As happens in every other facet of the world controlled by gov't spending, services for kids are cut early and often. This includes having someone unqualified hand out medications when they don't even know one medication from another or what medication a person is supposed to get. Staff to supervise medications has been reduced and the number of kids getting medications has gone up which means more and more chances to hide your drugs. Kids also often fake a need for adhd medications - other kids are more than happy to tell them how to do this. The lack of staffing means that often someone caught is able to withstand pressure because staff is so overworked that they don't have time to really pressure a kid for their supplier. So lots of times the supplier isn't known. Plus there are family and friends who are more than willing to smuggle drugs in, plus staff members who don't care or get some other benefit for bringing in drugs or allowing them to be brought in. Cheeking is not the only way to get medications if you are in Department of Juvenile Justice. It is usually easier than it is to get them in adult prisons. I have heard this from people who work or worked in Department of Juvenile Justice facilities here and in OH and also from kids who have been in Department of Juvenile Justice facilities. Most of us think that it is really tough to get medications but that is not the reality. I know some kids who say it is easier to get them in Department of Juvenile Justice than it is in a regular school because they don't have to come up with money - they can use other things that kids in reg schools don't value.
