MDOC issued the following statement.
For
two consecutive weekends, visitors at the Central Mississippi
Correctional Facility have been caught attempting to smuggle contraband,
including Suboxone, to incarcerated females.
On Feb. 16, Walter Wayne Kuhn Jr., 48, of Pearl, was arrested after he
was searched and 20 strips of Suboxone were found in his possession. He
is charged with introduction of a controlled substance in a
correctional facility.
On Saturday, Tiffany Ann Brantley-Lovelace, 28, of Brandon, and Christie
Lynn White, 53, of Columbus, were arrested in separate incidents.
Brantley-Lovelace brought nine strips of Suboxone into the facility,
investigators said. She is charged with possession of a controlled
substance.
In White’s case, suspected Suboxone, Percocet, Xanax, methamphetamine,
spice, and assorted jewelry for body piercings were seized. White is
charged with introduction of contraband into a correctional facility.
Suboxone, a combination drug of buprenorphine and naloxone, can cause life-threatening breathing problems and intoxication leading to hospitalization or death.
“It is important that the use of Suboxone be
monitored and supervised very closely,” Commissioner Pelicia E. Hall
said, citing advice from the prison’s medical staff. “Therefore, people
should avoid using it without a prescription from
a qualified healthcare professional.”
Commissioner Hall said to visitors: “For the safety
of staff and inmates, do not try to introduce this drug into our
correctional facilities. Everyone entering a prison is subject to be
searched. Anyone found in violation of the law will
be arrested and referred for prosecution.”
Kuhn, Brantley-Lovelace, and White were all booked into the Rankin County Jail.

Rankin County = No "blessings" available. Do the crime, do the time.
Why are they smuggling suboxone? It is for the treatment of opioid addiction. It doesn't make you high, but rather the opposite.
Maybe they are self-treating addiction?
There is such a thing as suboxone addiction. Google it.
WLBT has pics of these three and Christie Lynn White is north of 300 lbs with a full beard and a receding hairline. Seriously.
Well, his dad must o' thought that name was a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folks
I'm sure he had to fight again and again
Some gal would giggle and he'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and he'd bust his head
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named Christie Lynn
Holy ravioli! That dude's name is Christy Lynn? He must be transitioning or something. If so, you'd think he'd shave that beard.
@2:20 PM - well duh! It is used for the TREATMENT of opioid addiction, just as penned above. Reading comprehension 101 - fail.
Ok, genius, read this:
But Suboxone has a dark side, and its very effectiveness can be a double-edged sword for heroin addicts who are looking to repair their lives. Suboxone addiction is a real problem, with the Fix saying that the medication has caused its own epidemic that requires its own course of treatment (pharmacological and psychological) to remedy.
