Strips are fine, as is Subutex. It's the buprenorphine that rips the opiate off the receptors, not the naloxone. Naloxone alone would also reverse an OD, but when mixed with bupe it doesn't do anything, as the bupe has a much higher binding affinity than Naloxone or any opiate (which is what reverses OD).
The only reason Suboxone has Naloxone in it is so Reckitt & Bennister could get themselves their own patent. It does virtually nothing when mixed with Bupe. Look up buprenorphine and naloxone binding affinity.

Sounds like Sheriff Joe Arpaio down in Arizona. He also treats his prisoners like dogs (actually, even worse than his dogs) but somehow ALWAYS gets re-elected. He's also blatantly racist against the considerable Latino community in his state. Read up on him for some more prison horror stories.

PROTIP: Suboxone will reverse an OD, exactly the same as Narcan. I always kept a few subs in my rig kit for that exact reason. Having it has saved mine and a few friends lives. If you have needles, all you do it hit them with dissolved Suboxone. Instant OD reversal.
