MCC.

We drive on to the Metropolitan Correctional Center, beside the federal courthouse at Foley Square, where the car comes to a stop. The agents have left the bottle of Suboxone on the center console, within easy reach, and one of them says, “Do what you need to do, but do it quickly.” Then they step out of the car for a minute to arrange my intake. I’ve never taken Suboxone before and have no sense of its potency. I swallow a handful of the pills.

Within minutes, I’m delirious. Inside MCC, I still have some tablets in my pocket, but when I reach for them a guard says, “Take your hand out of your fucking pocket.” I hold up two fists, like I’m displaying my biceps, and he says, “Open your fucking hands.” He takes the tablets from me and orders me to undress. As I pull off my clothes, I stumble into a wall. Once I’m completely naked, he has me open my hands again, squat and cough, lift my nut sack, turn my ears out, and run my hands through my hair. Then I’m allowed to put my street clothes back on.

The on-call psychologist observes me to be “visibly high,” and for tonight, as a precaution, I’m put on suicide watch in a cell with a glass wall. I lie on a mat in a dreamy stupor, and watch shifts of inmates sitting outside the cell, observing me and writing in a notebook.
