New Hampshire court to hear methadone jail caseQuitting heroin “cold turkey” is no fun.
It’s been compared to a bad case of influenza that lasts about a week, with no relief possible for the cramps, cold sweats, vomiting, diarrhea and other such symptoms.
On Thursday, the New Hampshire Supreme Court will be asked to decide whether forcing heroin addicts to undergo withdrawal in jail amounts to constitutionally prohibited “cruel and unusual punishment.”
The court will hold an emergency hearing about a Nashua District Court case involving a former Manchester man who was caught trying to steal nine PlayStation games from the Wal-Mart store in Hudson on Oct. 31, 2000.
Jeffrey Dale, 27, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a year in jail, with all but 90 days deferred for two years, court records show.
Dale failed to show up for a hearing on his deferred sentence, however, and Nashua District Court Judge Philip Howorth sentenced him June 6 to serve another 270 days in jail.
At the urging of Dale’s lawyer, Barry Weinstein of Manchester, Howorth also ordered the Hillsborough County jail to allow Dale to continue his daily treatment at the Merrimack River Medical Center in Hudson, one of three methadone clinics in the state of New Hampshire.
Methadone is a prescription narcotic that staves off addicts’ withdrawal symptoms without duplicating heroin’s “high.” Heroin addicts are given a daily dose at first, then weaned off it gradually.
“Methadone just takes away the withdrawal symptoms,” said Bob Potter, director of development for Community Substance Abuse Centers, the company that runs the Hudson clinic.
“There’s no intoxication. There’s no euphoria, there’s none of that,” he said.
Methadone is controlled, however, because it is a narcotic and acts like one for people who aren’t already using illicit narcotics, Potter added.
Addicts drink their daily dose at the clinic, and also receive counseling to help them find ways to overcome their addiction and mend the damage they have done in their lives, Potter said.
Howorth ordered the jail to bring Dale to the Hudson clinic each day, and ruled that the New Hampshire would have to pay for the treatment. Alternatively, Howorth ruled, the New Hampshire state could set up a methadone clinic at the jail or another state facility.
The state of New Hampshire and Hillsborough County Corrections Superintendent James O’Mara balked.
The county’s lawyer, Carolyn Kirby, asked Howorth that same day to reconsider his ruling, arguing Howorth had no authority to require the jail to provide any particular medical treatment for an inmate.
Further, Kirby stated, the jail “has legitimate safety and security concerns with housing an inmate who will be under the influence of a controlled narcotic while serving his sentence.”
Neither Kirby nor Weinstein could be reached for comment Tuesday.
Weinstein argues that forcing Dale to undergo withdrawal in jail violates his constitutional right to be free from “cruel and abusive” punishment.
“(Dale’s) methadone maintenance is medical treatment intended to rid him of his heroin habit. The state has admitted as such,” Weinstein wrote.
“Although the state argues that the Hillsborough County House of Corrections is responsible for the proper care of prisoners,” Weinstein wrote, “it has no facility or ability to treat (his) expected withdrawal, and, frankly, appears all too ready to just let matters take their cruel course.”
Reconsidering his ruling on June 16, Howorth acknowledged that his authority to mandate methadone treatment was debatable, but he let his order stand for the time being. Howorth suggested that Dale file a petition with the U.S. District Court seeking a ruling on the constitutional question at hand, and stated that he would rescind his ruling if the federal court ruled against Dale.
Dale instead brought the matter to the New Hampshire Supreme Court, which agreed to hear it immediately.
Given the predictable connection between heroin addiction, crime and jails, Potter said it would make sense for the state’s jails to run their own methadone clinics.
“I would say the vast majority of clients we see have been arrested for some drug-related crime,” Potter said. “Many times it’s a wakeup call when they’re arrested.
“I think it would make great sense,” he said. “There’s a lot of opportunity to address that issue in New Hampshire.”
