JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Dodo: At one time, there was the highest number of sex offenders, in jail history, and these men were put on different pods, but were eventually all put on one pod because sex offenders are considered the lowest and were often threatened. This jail also housed state and federal inmates who were integrated into general population or worker pods.
Misty: Not really anything nice about jail. There was a lot of mrsa and people had Luce and scabies. It was really gross and you always heard about people getting infections from spider bites. You had to be very careful not to get I infections because it was difficult to get rid of it.
