Inmates

Interview with Brandon and Lydia

JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't.
Brandon: Well most of the inmates were quite not looking for any altercation that could end up pro longing their sentence even further so what I witnessed was pretty much people just getting along with other people.
Lydia: No not at all in the essence of it I 'am an individual that has comfort with herself and requires little attention so there fore I felt no need to associate with others so no difficulties.

JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Brandon: Typically there weren't any fights as I said mostly everyone was involved in minor crimes so getting involved in situations that could pro long your term wasn't really something that was on inmates minds at least not the cellmates that I associated myself with. The inmates that were stationed on my block were pretty quite.
Lydia: Essentially i'am not a confrontational person and choose to stay in my cell in order to avoid these kinds of situations or I would do a number of other activities to refrain from such things like going to the recreational yard jogging or something as simple as watching television or playing cards with myself

JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change?
Brandon: Well depending upon the circumstances inmates may change if there was a trail date coming up and they were released so in that situation your cellmate would change. And no you weren't able to choose your cellmates.
Lydia: Unfortunately choosing a cell mate is not an option given to the prisoners well at least not when I was incarcerated. And cell mates change quite frequently because their cases would come up for trail and then they may end up leaving for home or end up being shipped out to the federal prison
