This is
NOT TRUE. I wrote about this a few weeks back. Anyone that will trade money, cigarettes, sexual favors or anything else that can pass for currency while they are in prison can get any drug. The prison guards themselves are the dealers. I know not all prisons are like this, but I was offered stuff when I was locked up, and from my experiences in the rooms of AA and NA since, this is not a unique story at all.
