Trump declared the landmark 2015 agreement had been “hor- rible,” leaving the Iranian government flush with cash to fuel conflict in the Middle East.

(AP) — Four inmates sit silently in the library of the Franklin County House of Correction one summer morning. But these men aren’t here to read books. Under the supervision of a nurse and two corrections offi- cers, they’re taking their daily dose of buprenorphine. The drug, often known by the brand name Suboxone, is meant to control their heroin cravings and is commonly smuggled into jails and prisons. “Suboxone for me is literally a Band-Aid,” said inmate George Ballentine, 26, after he completes the carefully regu- lated ritual that includes crushing up the medication, placing it under the tongue to dissolve for 15 minutes, rinsing and then spitting into a sink. “When you get a cut, what do you do? You put a Band-Aid on until it heals enough to take it off.” Scenes like this could be the future at more jails and prisons, as resistance from corrections officials long skeptical of the In this July 23, 2018, photo, several Franklin County Jail efficacy and high cost of administering opioid addiction medi- inmates seated at right are watched by nurse Brian Toia, left, cations appears to be loosening. and a corrections officer after they received their daily doses Some 300 of the nation’s roughly 3,200 or jails and 1,900 of buprenorphine, a drug which controls heroin and opioid In this July 23, 2018, photo, nurse Brian Toia holds tabs of prisons now offer some form of addiction medication to select cravings. inmates, according U.S. Department of Justice data. buprenorphine, a drug which controls heroin and opioid About 290 are offering a relatively new monthly injection of cravings, as he prepares to administer the drug, known also naltrexone known as Vivitrol to inmates shortly before they’re “We understand this is a public health crisis,” she said. “We by the brand name Suboxone, to selected inmates at the released, with many using free samples of the roughly $1,000 know what we need to do.
