TL my husband has had clients go to jail that were on medications and he had to fight tooth and nail for them to get their medications. It shouldn't be this way. We have had several deaths in our jails here from people who were incarcerated and withdrawn from their drugs. Supposedly they are now required to have a psychiatrist see these people within so many days of being jailed, but even that is too long.
I think drug court should be in every city. We have to start treating these people differently than others in the justice system. They need treatment not jail.
