Interview with Mike

JM: What types of facilities were available to help pass the time?
Mike: you can get your GED. They have Law library. and you can become a trustee. I actually was a trustee who went to work from 8-3 with DSS. we did all sorts of work. never got paid but was nice to get out and not wear orange or have cuffs on or be followed by a CO. i actually worked in front of my home one day lol

JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce? Give details.
Mike: The tv haha. yeah some people like to hog it all day but i dont like tv to much anyways

JM: Did you have a hard time staying in shape while in jail?
Mike: yes would of been better if we had weights and rec time more then a hour a day! and no rec on weekends. they would yell at you for stacking chairs to use as make shift weights but push ups were ok i guess.

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?
Mike: a hour a day and if the weather was ok for it. no outdoor time on the weekends. i think thats a breach of inmate rights

JM: Did the jail offer church services? If so, what were they like and when were they held?
Mike: yeah i never went though so couldnt tell you honestly.
