PART 549_MEDICAL SERVICES--Table of Contents

 

              Subpart B_Over-The-Counter (OTC) Medications

 

Sec. 549.31  Inmates without funds.



    (a) The Warden must establish procedures to provide up to two OTC 

medications per week for an inmate without funds. An inmate without 

funds is an inmate who has not had a trust fund account balance of $6.00 

for the past 30 days.

    (b) An inmate without funds may obtain additional OTC medications at 

sick call if health services staff determine that he/she has an 

immediate medical need which must be addressed before the inmate may 

again apply for OTC medications under this section.

    (c) To prevent abuses of this section (e.g., inmate shows a pattern 

of depleting his or her commissary funds before requesting OTC 

medications), the Warden may impose restrictions on the provisions of 

this section.
