Leisure Time

Interview with Tony

JM: What types of facilities were available to help pass the time?
Tony: gym was available once per week for an hour and that was it. They had weekly religious services Overall there was a definite shortage of facilities and it caused much stress since inmates are stuck together with little or nothing to do each day. All inmates hoped there would be more offered

JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce? Give details.
Tony: two tvs were are entertainment and since a few inmates controlled the "clicker remote" it was not always easy to watch what you wanted No other entertainment existed other than borrowing books each week from the visiting librarian. you were allowed two books each week to read and sometimes there were magazines

JM: Did you have a hard time staying in shape while in jail?
Tony: No I lost fifty pounds since I worked out daily however due to the food being inedible and not enough calories I burned much muscle

JM: How often did you get to go outside? What did you do outside if you were allowed to? If you were not allowed to go outside what could you do for exercise?
Tony: maybe once or twice weekly into a very small "cage like" area which was horrible and totally inadequate since it would be crowded and often had a handball game going which meant you had a small corner to stand still in. Totally inadequate and cruel Exercise was left to housing area (cell or dorm area)

JM: Did the jail offer church services? If so, what were they like and when were they held?
Tony: Yes they offered services weekly in small area of prison for many different services they used the same small cramped rooms as education clases
