JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
John: The nicest parts were the good tvs and the way certain jail block workers kept everything clean for the men being housed on the unit. Also if there were left over meals they would be given to someone who could use them. I liked blocks that were mainly peaceful and laid back.
Scott: EVERY BLOCK IS DIFFERENT. SOME BLOCKS ARE RESPECTFUL TO OTHERS AND SOME BLOCKS ARE A DANGEROUS FIGHTING ENVIORNMENT. IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE INMATES RUNNING THE BLOCK. SOME BLOCKS ARE LAID BAVK AND SOME ARENT. SOME BLOCKS ARE CLEAN AND SOME ARENT. SOME BLOCKS HAVE WORKING PHONES DEPEN SOME DONT.
Aaron: the nicest parts were the dinners and the worst parts is when a fight broke out because they locked the entire block down for hours there was one time they locked it down for the rest of the day that is the worst thing about the blocks I have to say the nicest is the dinners they let us out for 15 minutes for dinner even if the dinner was not that good we still got out of our cells.
Bruce: I remeber the nicest parts about the different blocks were the way they maintained there things such as showers,phones,and privlages. They kept there games like chess and checkers available for everyone to use. Some people even shared food,magazines,sneakers,and phone calls. But other blocks could be dirty with broken phones and people stealing out of your cell.
Sammy: The nicest things about the blocks were all the working phones. People love to talk on the phone so its important to have all phones working. Also some blocks had nice big flat screen television. The worst things were dirty showers and tables. Dirty microwaves. non working phones. Broken windows
