Inmates

Interview with Ron, JM, Julianne and Rick

JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't.
Ron: No I got along with most just fine. When you get in there you find you have more in common and it is not worth it to start trouble.
JM: Some yes and some no. Certain inmates are innately angry and will argue with whomever is willing to argue. You also have to take into consideration how you will be treated, if they sense a weakness it will be exploited and you likely will be mistreated. It's best to keep to yourself and to make casual acquaintances- do not discuss your case with other inmates as they will also use that against you- there are several CI in the jail willing to use you to get their sentences lowered.
Julianne: every one was wonderful all the prisoners were very wonderful,,, the guards were evil sorry to have to be honest. but the guards were very evil
Rick: i got a long good with the other inmates im a good people person and like in school when you where a kid share or trade stuff from your lunchs or dinners and you make friends fast and if you get comseary even better coffie is like gold in there every one wants it lol and fruit flav packs of drinks where a good one to for trade and stuff you dont get much in side so anything that taste good like the out side is good to have and for trade..

JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Ron: Refrain from saying things that I would normally speak up about on the streets.
JM: I stayed in my room mostly, I read and wrote letters. The advice my lawyer gave me was to keep my head down and stay out of trouble, as a fight in the jail can give the prosecuting attorney more information to make a case against you. If you are arrested for battery, and you fight, the attorney then has proof that you're a violent person.
Julianne: i didnt have to do anything they all sang christian songs. and played cards. and we prayed for each other,
Rick: keep your feet off some one elses bed thats there space keep to yours and out of some one elses and you are good learn to share stuff its like back in garde school to your hands and feet to your self and watch what you say....

JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change?
Ron: Yes, you are able to sumit a request to be housed in a certian wing, dorm, and bunk.
JM: You can, but it's not always a given. The jail is fairly over crowded, and that limits space. But it is possible if you have the right CO.
Julianne: i knew all of their charges, and to me they are innocnet, most of them were traffic one girl was arrested for taking from her fathers home her own computer,
Rick: no one change at my block and we all got along good with each other
