People in jail are bound by the same laws as people outside of jail. If the drug is on the government's list of controlled substances, then a valid prescription from a licensed medical person (physician, psychiatrist, etc) is all that is necessary for the inmate to take the prescribed drug. If they do not have a valid prescription, then they are subject to the same criminal prosecution as would be anyone who is not incarcerated.
