You might be able to take a few days worth depending upon what it is and where you are incarcerated. Every place is different and you will have to learn the rules quickly. Part of your orientation is to go through a complete physical and psyche evaluation. This is where the medicines that you've been on will be discussed and either verified and prescribed or rejected. If you are on a list to receive medicines, then you will do the daily routine of lining up for "pill line" where the nurse distributes one dose at a time. Pill line runs in the early morning, after lunch and after dinner/bedtime for inmates prescribed any medication.
