Louisiana regulations on getting prescribed meds inside

[smokinjoe]

privatisation of the penal system is happening in many states and maybe nationwide. it's just that louisiana is still ran by the "good ole boy
network" or the more mdern term "redneck mafia" as the article points out sheriffs trade prisoners like a commodity. and if you google i dont have the actual numbers but the prisons in louisiana are like 85% black but if you look at the numbers of users and sellers of drugs, which is the number one charge, is not 85%. because of the deep rooted notion that
"he's a good ole white boy, so he can't be that bad" or also white people in the deep south are more likely to have "connections" in the legal system than black people.

brother Man , I must say if you come to Atlanta ga.and stay a while you shall see "some" hooked up black lawyers. I suggest you research the case of NFL player Ray Lewis[black] who now plays for Baltimore Ravens murdered a young black man on the side walk of Atlanta,GA.and walked free.to continue his career as a NFL football player.

[quote=alumni;248097]His original post was very difficult to understand but it sounds like there was a rehab and "sober living stay" diversion verdict issued at some earlier point in time.
Otherwise, you're right, it could be that he was hit with an unusually severe sentence for some unknown (possibly local) legal reason.
Hopefully his comment about not showing up for prison induction was in jest.[/quote @alumni the 90day rehab and 7 months soberliving was of my own choice not a verdict and I also quit driving and sold my vehicle so i couldn't drive. just tring to clear things up a bit

@rustyRORER714 just an idea call the prison and ask directly. They will have a protocol for that already, and if your attorney wants to he could or you could just call yourself and ask! Say hey I'm gonna be staying with you guys on May... Oh crap just looked at the date you're already in! Good luck!!!

Just read recent posts, @alumni what I think we don't know is if Rusty is a 50 year old with DUIs dating back to 1972 or a 30 yr old with 4 in 7 years. I have lost friends to DUIs both driving And being hit by, and I am completely against mandatory minimums... What if this guys has had 1 DUI per decade? Mb the hard time is still appropriate, maybe more time if it's more frequent? I think that taking the sentencing freedom away from judges is a double edged sword- slippery attorney cannot pull wool over judges eyes as easy but at same time someone getting the same sentence for 4 DUI in a couple years vs over several decades? Idk...

@nopizza yes i'm 55 yrs old and they happened over time went to court on may 15 and the judge gave me until june 18th to get thing in order -- so i'm at work offshore right now ( making them last few dollars)

That was generous of them to give you some more time to get things in order. I don't know if you can read this because it states you are banned.

My sister got a DUI the other day completely sober. My father had a heart attack at 5 am and my sister was driving him to the hospital. This is the type of girl that panics severely in a crisis situation and has an anxiety disorder. The cop pulled her over because she had a tail light out and she was within half a block of the hospital so she threw her hand out the window and started frantically pointing at the hospital to the officer. The officer followed her and when she arrived he of course approached the vehicle. She had been crying because she was scared and the officer pointed out the fact her eyes were red. She explained that she had been crying because she was scared and has panic attacks so she was extriemely shakey. He accused her of being high on marijuana and she of course denied it because she wasn't on marijuana at all. She is a recreational smoker, however she hadn't smoked anything in over 2 weeks. He didn't believe her at all, so he completely started playing on the fact our dad was in the hospital and for all she knew he was dying.

He had her take the field sobriety tests which according to him, she failed. She was shaking profusely at this point because she was so scared and I'm not sure if any of you ever feel like this, but when I panic I go fuzzy through all the adrenaline and it would be easy for me to make mistakes in following specific instructions. Anyway, he had her take a few, one including tipping her head back and closing her eyes. He said if her eyelids flutter it means she is addicted to pot. Uhhh... mine do that and I haven't smoked since I was 14.

He said he was then taking her in on suspicion of DUI for marijuana and she could do this one of 2 ways. She could admit to being high, or he can get her for failing to stop for him when he first tried to pull her over. She refused at first but he further explained that he was going to take her in regardless but if she admitted to smoking he would just bring her in for fingerprinting and release her. But if she didn't admit to it he was going to make sure they keep her. And she would have to submit to a blood test, this would bring up any pot she had either smoked or been around for the last 30 days and she smoked a couple weeks back. And if it came up positive they wouldn't let her go on Personal Recognisence. Keep in mind as far as she knows her dad is dying so she is going to do anything she can to get to him faster. So she throws her hands up and tells him she smoked the night before at 6pm.

He brings her in to the station and fingerprints her and charges her with a DUI. He then proceeds to tell her that she should just refuse the bloodtest because the phlebotomist would take about 5 hours more, and if she just refused it she could get out within an hour. He advised her that the worst thing that will happen by refusing the blood test is that her license would be suspended.

We got her a lawyer and I am hoping nothing comes of this, she has no prior record and is attempting to become a caregiver for her father who after a 4 week stay in ICU thankfully survived. But if this goes through because of this jerk of an officer she will be stuck with no license and no job.

I am really, really tired of all the corruption in law enforcement, prison guards, other authority figures. My ex-husband is also in prison in Texas so unfortunetly I know first hand what that corruption looks like.

i work in a large county jail , not a penetentiary where Rusty will be habitating. our rules allow pre-prescribed meds, however the list is small and only for the bare necessities. there are no "get-high" meds allowed. the prisoner is transported to a hospital for any serious life threatening treatment. Rusty should have her attorney write a letter to the MD in charge because often times a few weeks will go by until the meds are available. however these are entirely 2 different institutions in different states.

While in a local Pharmacy in my hometown I was picking up meds for my Mother. I know most all the LEA in the town since I grew up with them and we played sports together in High School. A person came in who was obviously from the local jail but she did not have any weapon nor badge or tags identifying her as Sheriff's Office Staff so I assumed she was the nurse. She picked up two huge grocery bags, the paper kind that I'd say would hold about 5 gallons, the huge paper bags with thick material. The Pharmacists filled it with a huge quantity of various meds. So the point being the inmates do obviously get this small town Pharmacy to supply their medical needs.

"Opiate addiction, like all forms of addiction, causes long-term changes to the structure and functioning of the brain, which is why it is classified as a disease. Addiction requires treatment just as other chronic diseases, like diabetes and cancer, do. Unfortunately, there is a large gap between the number of prisoners who require addiction treatment and those who actually receive it,

US Prison System Falls Short In Treating Drug Addiction, Study Finds

I've heard of people who've stated they've been on massive pain killers for like 25 years for severe injuries. Hard to believe but in fact I do realize there are debilitating injuries which completely diminish one's functionality to a point of wanting to check out of life. The guy across the street could not stop the pain of some cancer he had. That's when he took the .357 pill and put and end to it permanently.

I DO NOT condone that exit route, it's no good. Find a doctor and spill the story in it's entirety before going drastic. I've had migraines where I thought my head was going to explode, or I'd have a stroke. I've even dunked the head into an ice chest full of ice/some water [old remedy found on internet] but it did not work for me.

This "long term brain changes" is what concerns me and why I choose the lowest possible dose and sched med to minimize, hopefully, these effects/damages.

Rusty is a freind of mine and although this is a old rhread ,your jokes arent funny. i can tell by your tasteless post that youve never had your freedom taken from you. and until then you shouldnt make light of a man loosing a portion of his life. think before you post. rusty came here to talk to PR freinds for comfort not to be part of a punch line.

$32,000? Dang that sucks and the time you have to sit in prison. you probably won't see this for a couple years but don't drop the soap and good luck. Driving ain't cool when you sloppy!
