This depends on the medication. For example, prisoners can often keep their asthma inhalers and angina medication with them and use it when necessary. Other types of medication may need to be delivered to the unit each morning and night and then passed on to the prisoner. Some medication has to be taken in front of a prison nurse, who may visit the prison unit several times a day.
Sometimes if you want to have the same medication you were prescribed outside prison you may have to pay for the medication yourself.
