Healtchare did not provide sufficient aftercare to administer eye drops - missed doses of eye drops and needed help from another inmate to administer drops for 6 weeks.

Lack of access to mental health
September 25, 2019
I have been here for 4 weeks without a mental health or medication review. I have anxiety, depression and split personality, how can this be acceptable. Roughly 3 weeks ago I was given a date for mental health to see me but they cancelled it even when I was asked to stay behind in my cell and wait for them to come. They told me they would re-schedule but never bothered
