According to the current medications guidance document for federal prison inmates, Federal Bureau of Prisons Health Services: National Formulary, Part I (16 May 2019), adult ADHD medications—atomoxetine (Strattera®), methylphenidate (Ritalin®), amphetamine/dextroamphetamine (Adderall®/Dexedrine®)—can be prescribed and administered.

Since ADHD drugs are classified as controlled substances, inmates cannot personally possess or self-administer these types of medications. Instead, “a single dose of medication is administered [to the inmate] at Pill Line by a qualified employee, and that dose is consumed in the presence of the employee.”
