Methadone vending machines for prisoners

InstyMeds is in the US only and is in the offices of hospital ERs and urgent cares. Following a doctors visit, a patient may get their medication from the InstyMeds dispenser if the doctor prescribes one. Using a web-based prescribing tool, the doctor issues a prescription, then the patient uses a unique security code at the dispenser to receive their medication. The InstyMeds dispenser is a very safe and secure way for patients to have convenient access to acute prescriptions.

I still didn't think it was that bad...
why break out/get out of prison just to kill and steal for the stuff if you already know you want to waste your life on it? Unless I was in for life I wouldn't go near the thing unless I had taken a beating or something and needed relief.

I didn't know who was installing the machines for the prisons so I stuck an InstyMeds picture up, because I love that name.

Anon: Glad to hear it. "InstyMeds" sounds far too sinister.

Oh and it doesn't look like the picture above either...!

It's bollocks, it's a twisted story. The project is installing Methadone Electronic Dispensing Systems for the use by the prisons Pharmacy's. They are not vending machines by any stretch of the imagination, and the inmates do not have access to them, but use biometrics to identify themselves. This saves the nurses a considerable amount of time, and increases the safety of dispensing Methadone.

Is this for real? When will they start installation in high-schools?

Can we say economic stimulus package for prisoners?!
