What kind of health care and medication do inmates receive?
Health care for inmates is provided by medical staff at the jail. This includes the determination of need for treatment by health care providers in the community. If an inmate is under the care of a private health care provider, jail medical staff will work with such providers to continue necessary treatment. Inmates who receive prescription medication through a private health care provider may continue the medication if approved by jail medical staff. Approved prescription medication for an inmate may also be delivered in its original container to the jail.
