Hi guys n Gals I'm new here. I'm currently on 1mg 2 times a day of Ativan. I've been taking them for a little over a year now for anxiety and panic attacks. As my post mentioned I have to turn myself in to jail on Friday this week. I'm worried about going in because of withdrawals especially in jail. My grandpa takes 10mg valiums so I have access to valiums. My question is how long will valium stay in my system to get tru these days in jail? And how many should I take before court?

If you don't have a script for benzos and you're headed to an American jail- tell them when you get booked. Be ready for them to not give a fuck. If you have a script call the jail tomorrow and ask how your meds can be covered while in jail. Sure as shit they ain't gonna let you take your own product even with a script.
'Script = a ton of bullshit, maybe your benzo, maybe another instead. Be ready for the hassle. Jail medical staff, particularly jails that outsource the care are horrible. We just lost one from my county jail this week, she told them she was w/d-ing and later died in her cell. A deputy who heard her asking for help fucking laughed at her. American jails, they have zero mercy for substance dependence, zero.
No Script = you're fucked. Tell them what's up, maybe go see a dr. B/w notw and then to get legitimate.
This is my #1 fear. Kicking Benzos in jail, lots of people die that way every year. Be careful.
Not to be a bummer, but that's about how it is in most parts of the country. Maybe Oregon, or CA depending on area be better. Most places, they just let you w/d and fucking laugh at you.
Been there.

Sorry, that was harsh. Hopefully someone else who had more experience with the law and these situations can help you out. Please don't try anything risky. They've seen it all before. If you're in a rural county you may do ok, it's generally the bigger county jails that suck super bad.

Listen, this isn't really harm reduction advice and I advise you to try your damnedest to bring documents, call ahead, have a lawyer handy if possible and attempt to have them give you the shit legitimately - BUT!
IF and I say IF you want to try a workaround method, considering you're only doing a week and have your pills as well as valiums available, you can bring them in up your ass. There's no need to swallow them really, figure out a way to pack 'em into a small cylindrical shape and then seal 'em up in a condom. Insert the condom up your ass, far enough that nothing is poking out of your sphincter. You can practice this beforehand by tying a string to the package for retrieval, to make sure it doesn't get stuck or something (it won't, you just have to make like you're taking a shit and squeeze it out - at worst you may have to wait til' you actually have to shit). When entering the facility you will be strip searched and 'spread your cheeks and cough, or squat and cough' tested, and possibly sit on the metal detector chair (which shouldn't detect anything in this case - anecdotal). It's not that hard to tense up so it doesn't poke out when you squat 'n cough. People do this shit ALL the time. Once you're settled in, you'll have to figure a safe spot and DON'T tell ANYONE.
Like I said, try to do it legitimately, because if you get caught bringing the shit in like this you WILL catch more charges and be fucked. If I was you, I'd try my best to do it legitimate, load up on diazepam before going in and hope for the best. I just figured I'd present this method JUST IN CASE. Again, it is NOT smart to smuggle shit in.

You know I never really thought about how horrible it would be if you had a serious benzo habbit with no script and ended up in jail..I thought surely they would give you something so ya don't die, obiously not I guese, this should REALLY be changed somehow, to just let someone die from w/d, something needs to be done about this(well obiously) I don't know what to tell you, at least you are not on a super high dose....maybe take a larger dose of valium and the long half life will tide you over for the most part(well better than nothing?? Anyone thinks thats a good idea???
citizenuzi thanks. I thought about that. About 10 years ago I went in county jail for a month. I remember them having a body scanner but it only scans your torso I would assume it scans your rectum. I thought about coloring them and smashing them on my head. My hair is black. I just need to sneak like 3 in maybe 4. They make you shower during processing. So I'm thinking still...
When I went into jail for a week I told the jail doctor I was on klonopin and xanax. (You'll see the jail doctor before you suit up)...Then they'll call your doctor to confirm and theyll give u Ativan for your stint in jail. They have to because its a seizure risk... If you dont have a script, you're fucked. So I would get one as soon as possible...
btw, if you've never been to jail dont comment. Help the guy out.

When I had a stay in Melbournes jails, They did not care I had been taking valium for past 10 years, Like my Dexamphetamine tablets, They would not give to me even though I had all the proper scripts from my doc etc. They did keep me on the bupe and heaps of guys were taking anti psychotics and mood stabilers in there still... I remember when being assesed by the prison doc he said to me about the valium you will be right maybe not be able to sleep awhile lol... really if its your 1st time your natural body chemicals come to the surface, It's amazing how resourceful our bodys really are

I've been to jail/prison a couple times and this is what you do... sneak them in!! how you ask?? well... you gotta do something desperate...
Wrap the shit out of them and make it a small package that is super air/water/everything tight... and put it in your "prison pocket" or if you're a girl your "yoohoo"... straight up people do it all the time and make money also with it.
My brother is addicted to xanax bars and had to do 2 weeks, he snuck in 50 bars in his ass and it was the easiest time anyone ever did

I've been there. The county I'm in (one of the largest in the mid-west) you'd get nailed for the ass package, please in the name of HR only do that if there's no other option. Like others have begun to say- get your attorney and doctor to contact the ADA (ass. district attorney) who prosecuted your case and get the condition that you get properly medicated for benzo withdrawal put into your plea deal. If you straight up plead guilty or lost a trial, don't know I'm not an attorney, this is NOT legal advice.
You need a physician and/or an attorney to talk to the ADA or the highest up personnel at the jail as possible to secure treatment in jail. Unfortunately you're going to a rough facility if it's the central LA city jail. You may already know this from your arrest. Do you remember how they processed you then? Going in will be similar but more thorough, probably.
Can someone who has been to the LA county women's jail please add to this thread? I'm assuming the OP is female, pardon me if I'm wrong. Didn't you say you've been in before? Try to recall the intake process, talkn to someone coming out - seriously, go by the jail and catch someone coming out and, straight up ask what the deal is, maybe there's benzos for sale inside. I don't recommend that, but it's possible.
Lawyer, Doctor, Information.
Call the jail blind, use a pay phone or burner and ask them what the policy is - get on it, you don't have much time and that jail is immense and not so nice, from what I've seen from documentaries and news reports when I lived in LA.
Be careful, I hope you have a prescription. This is the only time I'll state HR includes trying to get a 'script in an underhanded fashion, but you do need it (HR). Try to get enough to cover just your time in jail, you didn't want to further your habit by finding a pill mill. Find it for the short term, then forget it...
I'm concerned for your welfare. I have been in, but it was a new facility with pretty decent deputies, but getting medical help was nearly impossible (I was scripted clonazepam, bupe, lamictal and and a few others) they gave me clonidine and ibuprofen after 36 hours inside), that's pretty good for American jails. Fortunately, I found Xanax inside (cost me a ton).

No thats not how it works. Yes it might stay in ur system 7 days, but u wouldnt feel the effects for 7 days. More like 24hrs.

The county I have been to outsources it's medical care, and it's terrible. That being said, the doctor there is concerned enough to realize benzo withdrawal can kill you. I saw people who were going through benzo withdrawal being given librium. If they give you that on a taper, you should be ok.

But loading up on valium would be a good idea.
Smuggling drugs (even RX) into jail is a felony in CA. If you get caught, you will be looking at a lot more than 5 days.
Document your script and send the jail written notice AND a dr's note saying that you need your meds in jail or you could be at risk of seizure or death.
Do not FTA, you will only make things worse and far more expensive.

Hey buddy,
Once you are booked, and depending on what county/state/country you are in, you can ask to see the nurse, then hopefully, she will be able to get these meds for you. If they are for a medical reason, that is. Be warned, it may take a day, or two, to get them ordered.
