Seroquel addiction? Lame. I think part of the problem is this people are incarcerated, so they're automatically suspect. They come in as deviant, and all their subsequent behaviors are viewed through that lens. So..my guess is mild sedation plus whatever else it is seroquel does for some people (anxiety relief, numbness, whatever) proves helpful for some inmates in coping with their situations. That's not euphoria, and that's not really abuse, either; its using a substance to cope with what I imagine to be a very, very harsh situation.
I think if prisoners want seroquel, they should have it. Lots of it. Since the gov't seems unwilling to improve prison life, the least the gov't can do is offer prisoners something to take the edge.Plus, I imagine it would reduce jail violence.
