Whereas I was on 50 ml on the outside, so in GGGG I was getting 30 ml of Methadone and a sleeping tablet. And that was it. That was doing it. But when I came here, they told me they don’t do Methadone … they don’t give you sleeping pills. It’s a total no-no.

She was bullying me into it” (Marzano et al., 2011; p. 877). “I was on Trazadone and they [i.e. specifically the prison doctor] changed it to Venlafaxine … and that one I’ve forgot the name of, for the bi-polar, they just stopped them” (Bowen et al., 2009; p. 4). “I didn’t bother. I was more concerned about taking my medication, and I didn’t want to say anything ‘cos I thought if I said anything they might just take me off it … So I just kept my mouth shut basically.

2. The erosion of privacy and dignity	“I’ve read lots of request forms (giggle). I’m bad for it, but I mean like, if some girl has a sensitive issue why would she want to write that and let the guards read it [too]” (Ahmed et al., 2016; p. 209). “I find it really upsetting because it’s just another indication of, that you’re not treated … as if you’re entitled to the same standard of health care that you would enjoy outside” (Plugge et al., 2008; p. e4). “I’m serious about staying off drugs.
