Inmates

Interview with Scott, Gary and Armando

JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't.
Scott: i didnt find it hard at all to get along with other inmates i knew from previous jail time to just mind my business stay calm an find me something to stay bussie
Gary: NO I DID NOT. I DID NOT KNOW ANYONE IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY. I ALWAYS KEEP TO MYSELF IN JAIL AND HAVE VERY FEW WORDS WHICH USUALLY KEEP ME UNNOTICED AND PRIVATE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
Armando: I didn't find it difficult at all to get along with others due to the fact that this was not my first time being incarcerated. I pretty much stayed to myself.

JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Scott: you have to stay focus on your self,read work out attend the different jail programs sometime you even have to talk with them an relate to whatever they going thru most important stay humble try to smile fit in watch tv dont cheat on card games and be fair to everyone an do your best to stand up for yourself
Gary: I AM A BIG 400 POUND GUY. I DONT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS IN JAIL ANDI KNOW HOW TO FIGHT SO PEOPLE USUALLY TEND TO KEEP THERE BAD ATTITUDES TO THEIRSELVES WHEN IT COMES TO ME. ALSO AT THE TIME I WAS TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT SINCE I WAS INACTIVE AND I GAVE IT TO THE OTHER INMATES WHICH KEPT ME IN GOOD STANDARDS WITH OTHER INMATES.
Armando: I stayed to myself. I talked to other inmates, played games, sports and recreation. I also tried to get into as many activities that the jail offered. I wasn't going to portray myself as a weak individual but I also wanted to show other inmates that I was there to do my time.

JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change?
Scott: you are not allowed to pick your cellmate the jail will make that decision and you have to accept that your cellmate can change daily different inmates have differnt release dates daily
Gary: AT THE SEVEN LOCKS FACILITY, YOU COULD BE WITH A CELLMATE FOR A DAY OR 7 DAYS, SO YOU NEVER KNEW WHO WAS GOING TO BE YOUR CELLMATES. SOME NIGHTS I FIND MYSELF BEING IN THE CELL ALONE. IN CLARKSBURG I HAD THE SAME CELLMATE AFTER THEY FIGURED OUT I NEEDED A BOTTOM BUNK SO I WAS KIND OF IN CONTROL OF CELL WHEN I GOT THE BOTTOM BUNK.
Armando: I didn't have a chance to choose a cellmate. I don't know of any jail that lets you choose your cellmate. Depending on the length of your sentence, that will dictate how often you change cellmates. My cellmate changed one time because he was released about 40 days before me.
