> under the Freedom of Information Act.

> McDougal was moved from his regular cell to solitary confinement at

> as punishment for failing to provide a urine sample for a drug test.
>
> McDougal had complained of being unable to provide urine for drug
> tests because of the medications he took for a variety of ailments.
>
> During the move, guards did not find McDougal's heart medication

> One of the medicines, nitroglycerin, could have bought McDougal some
> time after he suffered a heart attack, a prison official who asked not
> to be identified said in the Sunday paper.
