JM: What types of facilities were available to help pass the time?
Hillary: They have books and different little programs like if you wanted to get together and talk to people about the bible they had stuff like that. They had mini support groups to help cut down on the coming back rate. They had a TV in each dorm area. You could watch for 1-2 hours per day.
Leslie: not a whole lot maybe three hours a week outside throwing a basketball around. me personally I slept to pass the time.also books although getting them could be difficult at times. they would wheel a cart around once a week then there is one tv high up on the wall about 16 inch screen
