Closing Advice

Interview with Nick and Phillip

JM: What else would you want a friend or family member to know if they have a loved one going to this jail?
Nick: send them money so they can afford to buy commissary and don't starve. also don't worry it's not a tough place as long as your loved one is respectful and doesn't get involved with a gang he'll be fine.
Phillip: Don't go. Its important if they have the ability to keep money in commissary as the food is horrendous . I worked in the kitchen and can say this first hand. If they re lucky enough to get to Lawrence they can use that money on the vending machines.

JM: If somebody knows they will be serving time in this jail what is your advice to them?
Nick: commit a crime in a different county and try to get sentenced there first. otherwise enjoy your stay in a jail filled with cowards where you wil starve if you don't have any money.
Phillip: It isn't to bad if you mind your business and stay busy. No one gets raped or any of the other jail stories we see on TV. Most people here are either probation violators or drug offenders serving short time sentences. The only people that get hurt are people that owe money or people that become informants.

JM: Please list any other jail or rehab facilities you have been to.
Nick: none
Phillip: Essex county is the only jail . I have been to no public rehabs but several private drub treatment s
