Mellaril is not a banned drug in the U.S. It's other name is Thorazine. Have you ever had psychiatric treatment?

If given this in the prison, the prison medical staff would have prescribed it to control your behavior in prison.

And why you were not seen by a medical professional for ADHD every social and youth problem was not blamed on it 20 years ago either.

But it is obvious from your running away, getting into constant trouble there were problems. and most likely had them since childhood. Time to be seen and treated for your troubles.
