Disclaimer: I am not an attorney, and yes you need legal representation. There is no guarantee, implied or otherwise of final prison placement, medical, or medication availability, or program enrollment once you’re incarcerated. The BOP has the final say on ‘All Inmate Issues’, placement, and program enrollment once incarcerated.
In addition to the defense teams’ insight as to their background and defense strategy, PPRS Prison Match™ is meant to be used solely as a ‘mitigation aide’ in the sentencing and prison placement decision-making process. These are recommendations only from PPRS/PPRSUS, and the final responsibility lies with the legal team, court, and BOP.
It is natural to be concerned, as you assume you’ll continue to be getting your medications.
Why?
- Because you’ve been told that you will get medical care in prison.
- But - Will “Your” Prescription Medications Be Available?
Generic Medications
The BOP Relies On Your PSR to determine what medications you get.
- From the original copies in your Presentence Report (PSR)
- Your legal team has already checked your current medications against the BOP’s Formulary List to see if they are available.
- Then: what is the difference between the 3 – Tiers?
Generic medications are made by different manufacturers.
•They may vary from yours in,
- Size
- Shape
- Color
•Therefore, a heads-up from your legal team may make this a less stressful event.
