My husband and I have a prison ministry with our church and see people regularly in the prision systems. I have never met anyone with CH in the jails but I have met several migraine sufferers. All I can say is do anything you can to stay out of jail. I have seen people have to wait up to 2 months to see a dr. Then you start taking the medicines and if they don't work it is a couple more months to get back to the dr. again and in the meantime they make you continue to take the medicine untill the dr. orders otherwise. I knew a lady once that was in so much pain so begged to be taken to dr. They wouldn't and she got mad and ended up in the hole (small tiny room in solitary confinement). It is not a nice place to be when you have medical needs.
