All medicines
from the prison hospital are smuggled
out of the prison and sold in the markets outside. Thus, only very
cheap medicines (such as paracetamol, buspro, etc.) are left in
the prison hospital and there is always
a lack of necessary medicines. All the
prisoners are really scared of becoming sick as there are no proper
medicines, no appropriate treatment
and no care. Some rich prisoners get the medicines they require
from relatives or other visitors. The hospital confiscates almost
all these medicines, leaving very little for the patient. Confiscated
medicine is then sold at the market. If a complaint is lodged with
the prison authorities, it is more usual for them to issue an order
banning the bringing of all medicines to the prison rather than
to stop the confiscation. As prisoners fear that this kind of order
will affect all the other prisoners, no one lodges a complaint about
it.
