    Greetings, my name is James Aguiar, Jr. I am the Fire / Safety Inspector and the Chairman of our Quality Review Team. We have a new Medical Company coming in and there is talk of allowing the inmates to keep on their possession their medication. This medication will be like a week or two supply of pre-natal vitamins, IB Prof, and other misc medicne. I was wondering if their are any other Facilities allowing their inmates to keep their own medicine. You can email me at jaguiar@marionso.com or call me at (352) 351-8077 x6726. Thank you!

     Cpl. James Aguiar, Jr. #2154

    An older (1992), but still useful article, from the Large Jail Network Bulletin is available online at http://www.nicic.org/pubs/1992/period1.pdf

    We sell quite a few OTC meds on our commissary. We have no limits on purchasing though excessive amounts sets off a "red flag" by commissary staff. We have have had no issues arise at all from this practice. Don
