Inmates

Interview with Allyson and Eric

JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't.
Allyson: The women are not really hard to get along with in this jail. They help you when you're new and will help you learn how things go in jail. When I went, I didn't have nothing, and girls in the mod would bring me treats and snacks. I had a great cell mate that I learned a lot from.
Eric: No I never had a problem with any inmate unless I was first disrespected or challenged that is the way it goes everybody gets tested at least once in jail.

JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Allyson: Don't argue, don't fight. Keep from lashing out at others, and you will be treated the same way.
Eric: I stayed to myself. I did not associate myself with anyone who was not immediate family. I kept my routine strict and consistent. like I said before I mainly stayed to myself I think that is the best way for anyone to avoid getting in to any type of confrontation.

JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change?
Allyson: Once in a while you can choose who your cell mate will be. When I was incarcerated at the beginning I started off at a different mod, and I asked if I could be in a cell with a different person. I got to be with her for a couple weeks until I went to the Programs Mod.
Eric: Hell no I wish I could pick my cell mate but that's the thing about being locked up all your decision making is taken away and my cell mates didn't change that often
