Interview with Alex, Javier and Kyle

JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't.
Alex: I did not find it difficult to get along with other inmates.
Javier: Not really. I went in weighing pretty heavy so i think that had a lot to do with being left alone. I guess it also depends on your race. I noticed that "white boys" tended to get picked on more than any other race. I am Colombian and oddly once someone found that out they always gave me the same reaction. Its as if they were impressed or just interested. All i could say is that if you're white... ACT WHITE... nobody likes a poser or someone fake.
Kyle: No it wasn't cause the people there just want to do there time and get it over with especially ones that had family back home its not like everybody in jail is looking to fight u

JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Alex: I stayed to myself for the most part. I didn't cause trouble by watching television, reading books, and drawing pictures.
Javier: If you learn how to bite your tongue in certain situations you'll be just fine. A lot of people in jail can be very ignorant and arrogant. You should also find a friend you can relate to and stick together. You're better off having someone watch your back then having to watch your own. Also, when you do your laundry keep an eye on your white shirts. You have some people who try to snatch others things.
Kyle: No as long as u be cool not scary now you're ok but as far as avoiding problem there was none just carry yourself like a man who dere to do your time and get out and get back to providing for your family. If you do that you should have no problem

JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change?
Alex: No
Javier: Depending on your Pod Officer, in Leon County Jail you were able to choose your roommate. Usually they're pretty good about who they give you as a roommate.
Kyle: Well I didn't choose and I kept my same cell mate for the whole duration of my time. So as far as changing/choosing I wouldn't really know if you could my time wasn't long term
