Inmates

Interview with Mario and Tanya

JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't.
Mario: while i was incarcerated my frame of mind was good i wanted to change my life around and i was staying positive and i had alot of support from my familey.It was hard to find positive people. there was alot of hateers.. people who were going to prison for a long time and dident have any support.
Tanya: Yes. For the most part, very little respect and common courtesy shown towards each other. It's loud and a lot of the inmates have poor hygiene. Some inmates are coming off of alcohol or drugs so they go through withdrawal in jail. Some sit around and cry like they had no idea jail was a consequence to breaking the law. I have little or no sympathy for anyone who can't or won't accept the consequence's to their choices/actions in life.

JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Mario: while i was incarcerated i read alot of spritual books,western books,and fiction. I wrote my friends and familey alot.And played alot of card games.I tried to find a rutine to avoid the bad guys.. by staying in my cell when the negative people were around.I also attened church and A.A meetings. prayed and prayed alot.My self and other inmates attend bible studys and sang christian songs...
Tanya: I just stayed on my rack & read books. Keep to myself mostly but sometimes no matter how hard you try problems and fights just can't be avoided.

JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change?
Mario: At first i was not able to as i was there for a long period of time i formed realtionships with a couple of positive guys,and are realtionship with the guards were formed I was able to choose a cell mate.I seen new guys come and go on a daily basis.
Tanya: No, I was in open barracks.
