Leisure Time

Interview with Don

JM: What types of facilities were available to help pass the time?
Don: WE HAD A GYM WHICH ALSO HAD TWO TV'S THAT WE COULD WATCH. SO YOU COULD EITHER WORK OUT OR USE THE ROOM TO JUST RELAX. A TRACK THAT WE WALKED AROUND, THEY HAD A LIBRARY SO YOU CAN READ, WRITE, USE THE COMPUTERS TO EMAIL YOU FAMILY, FRIENDS OR LAWYER.

JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce? Give details.
Don: THE ENTERTAINMENT WAS CONTROLLED BY THE INMATES THAT HAD BEEN THERE THE LONGEST. YOU COULD NOT CHANGE THE TV CHANNELS ONLY BY PERMISSION, OR YOU HAD TO ASK TO WATCH A CHANNEL YOU WANTED TO WATCH, IF NOT YOU WERE SURELY GOINF TO GET INTO A FIGHT WITH THE OTHER INKATES.

JM: Did you have a hard time staying in shape while in jail?
Don: NO, IT AT TIMES WAS NOT MUCH TO DO SO YOU HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO WORK OUT IN PRISON, EVEN DID IT AT WORK.

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?
Don: WE WERE ALLOWED TO GO OUTSIDE EVERYDAY ONLY DURING CERTAIN TIMES. AND WHEN WE DID GO OUTSIDE WE PLAED BASKETBALL, SOFTBALL, HORSE SHOES, AND WORKOUT.

JM: Did the jail offer church services? If so, what were they like and when were they held?
Don: YES, WE HAD CHURCH ON SUNDAY, AND THEY WERE PRETTY GOOD SERVICES EVEN THOUGH MANY OF THE INMATES DID NOT WANT TO ATTEND.
