Christina Ackerman, Savannah Sparks, Susan Bennett, the list goes on.100's, if not 1000's of people a year who are on the right path of bettering themselves with their opiate addiction end up in jail/prison for various reasons & end up suffering horrible medically unjust & INHUMANE withdrawals off prescription medications like Methadone & Suboxone given to them to help end their opiate addiction.Common belief in prisons is to let inmates go cold turkey & "deal with the consequences of their bad choices" when opiate addiction is actually a chronic medical condition. This just makes the inmate 3X as likely to use illegal drugs when out. Souls from teens-late seventies DIE every year from this lack of basic medical treatment. What # is too high? PROVIDE METHADONE TO RECOVERING INMATES NOW!!!
