Will: just 1A,1B......

JM: Which types of inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Jen: medical, men and women, murderers,hookers and troublemakers
Karen: There were violent inmates, trustees, which were inmates that were trusted to do certain jobs in a different one, there was segregation which housed the inmates in lockdown and a general population.
Will: Violent, non-violent, sex offenders, mental health, very young prisoners.

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Jen: the worst parts are the holding areas, they smell like urine they leave you there fo hours while they do what they want, and there really isnt anything nice o remember
Karen: I was only housed in the general population. The nicest part (if you can call jail 'nice') was being able to play cards and games when you locked down. The worst part about being in the general population was that it was crowded and very, very noisey. It was hard to have any quiet time.
Will: They were all the exact same. I obviously like the phone and the shower because that was the only time I got out of my cell. Once a week if I was lucky.
