JM: What else would you want a friend or family member to know if they have a loved one going to this jail? Bee: Try to get them out as soon as possible. Also
never put the wool blanket over your head. It
pulls your hair out and a lot of women got bit
from the bugs in it. Those blankets can;t get
washed in as hot water like everything else so
they aren't as sterilized. Anthony: post bond if possible and make sure they put
plenty of money on there books so they could buy
plenty of commisary cause the food is terrible
and not even enough and you eat dinner at 4 so
by 8 or 9 at night you were starving so you need
commisary to maintain and you need it for
hygiene Clarence: Just for the inmate to keep to themselves & don't get into any
argument or confrontation with any other inmates.
For family, try to stay in touch with them - write letters and/or
come for visits as often as possible.
JM: If somebody knows they will be serving time in this jail what is your advice to them? Bee: Stay to yourself because whatever happens in
there will be dragged into court. You'll be
shocked at what they write down to try to make it
so you can't leave. Anthony: keep your head down try to make a few friends
get really good at cards and find a good book to
read cause its like an adult day care but if
your going you dont have a choice so make the
best of it and learn fro your mistake so you
dont ever return Clarence: Relax, it really is over sooner than they would expect,
especially if they stay out of trouble while in jail. Try to read in
your bunk and watch tv to pass time.
JM: Please list any other jail or rehab facilities you have been to. Anthony: lake county is the only jail ive ever been to
but i also did a month at haymarket center in
chicago which is a rehab faccility Clarence: Cook County (IL) jail & MCC (metropolitan correctional center)
federal facility.
