Leisure Time

Interview with Clayton

JM: What types of facilities were available to help pass the time?
Clayton: in module a there is a fucked up bench with a bar and a few weights. Other then that super elite luxury every module had an outside yard of concrete and high walls about the size of a standard apartments living room. so you got to either run in a small square or play handball.

JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce? Give details.
Clayton: Not really. Every module has 1 set of dice, 1 set of dominos, and a chess/checkers board. These items are usually ran by the race who obtained it first. I diddnt give a shit about politics so I would play dominoes with the blacks, checkers with my Northerner buddy and even handball with the pica's

JM: Did you have a hard time staying in shape while in jail?
Clayton: No I worked out in the dorm every day... Alot of push ups, burpies, and running in place... Im a cardio kinda guy haha.

JM: How often did you get to go outside? What did you do outside if you were allowed to? If you were not allowed to go outside what could you do for exercise?
Clayton: Either run back and fourth about 10 feet each way or play handball. You can go outside to the yard pretty much every program. Except at the 7:30-9:30 program because it gets too dark.

JM: Did the jail offer church services? If so, what were they like and when were they held?
Clayton: Yes the chaplan had an eclectic mix of different services. However if we were on lockdown we were denied the chance to go to church.
