Bringing Prescription Medication to a Columbia Work Camp Visit: Label, Dosage, and What Not to Bring

Need to take prescription medication during your visit at Columbia Work Camp? Bring only what you'll need for the time you're there - nothing more. FDOC rules limit visitors to the dosage necessary for the visit, so leave extra doses at home.

Keep every prescription in its original container. The label must be clearly readable and show the medication type, dosage requirements, and the name of the person it was prescribed for. Smudged or peeling label? Fix it before you go. Staff check this first when you enter.

Do not bring needles or syringes: They are not allowed inside the facility or anywhere on facility grounds under any circumstances.

4

  • ✓ Bring only the dose you need for the period of the visit.
  • ✓ Keep each prescription in its original container with a clearly readable label (medication type, dosage requirements, and the name of the person it was prescribed for).
  • ✓ Tell staff you have prescription medication when you arrive so it can be checked during entry screening.
  • ✓ Do not bring needles or syringes, and don’t leave them on facility grounds.

A little prep goes a long way. Before leaving home, confirm the prescription label is legible and matches the person carrying it. Keep the container accessible for entry - the right dose in a properly labeled original container means a smoother check-in.
