RE:January 2016: Providing medication (drugs) to inmates

A prosecutor in my state has raised the alarm that inmates are leaving prison drug free and then obtaining prescriptions for Suboxone so that they can continue to receive this medication while on subsequent community supervision.   Not sure if this is a good or bad thing. Perhaps the Suboxone will stop them from returning to heroin.  Perhaps if Vivitrol were available to them leaving jail, they would not seek Suboxone.  Unfortunately, our prisons and jails are not providing inmates with Vivitrol.
