JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Christian: nicest part was the rageing faggotts were kept in protective custody but the where able to watch us strip and change uniforms i didnt like that to much. there was alot of jailhouse trading going between the blocks shoes,tobacco drugs food whatever could be traded for profit was traded thats jail
Chris: I was only in one block so I didnt know much about the other blocks .there is nothing nice about being incarcerated in any jail let alone any jail in Hamilton county .some blocked cks I am sure are worse than others I guess it all depends on the he has inmates in those different blocks.
Robert: there was nothing nice about it ecept we had a tv to watch but we couldn't change the channel and we had cards, the worst part was listening to all the loud guys talking all night long, there wasn't any quiet time at all,at least they left the lights on all night
Terry: There really wasnt anything nice about them. Sure they were clean and kept in nice shape but being in jail, their is nothing nice about it. You lose everything in there. Your freedom, Your self esteem, your self in general. You become depressed and miss the finer things in life. if you cherish life outside you will respect it and stay out of jail.
Diana: I felt safest in my block because i got to know the people and because they weren't all felons or on suicide watch. I also however did not feel comfortable because i just wanted to be home with my friends and family. Jail was overall not fun at all !
Gina: In f it's was cleaner but the c o s where out harder on u cause there where 40 girls in there.in g and h they where not as clean cause they where older blocks but the c o s didn't really come into cause there where only 8 and 10 . I was never in e
Cindy: they all are the same concrete and metal picnic benches. it is very hard on your back and butt to sdit on them for any length of time that is why i sat on my bed most of the time. and the matresses are not any better they are thin
