JM: What else would you want a friend or family member to know if they have a loved one going to this jail? Scott: Just do what the officers ask you to do. Stay
away from gambling and getting in debt. Try
your best to get in the workers unit and to get
any hp if youcan get it Elna: The second they find out that someone they know
is going to the jail they should call
immediately to post bail. We only get one phone
call so if you recieve a call pretty much the
entire responsibility falls on you. Also
regarding setting up a ride when getting out- I
was released downtown at 1am with a dead phone
and not knowing anybody. Please make sure to
show up to the jail as early as possible to pick
up the person getting out. Todd: it really isn't a bad jail it's just you have some
guards that can be an ass.. Guy: stay in contact with them. don't outcast them give
them a chance to make it right with you and the
LORD. Jail isn't easy they need support not money
just some love and hope.
JM: If somebody knows they will be serving time in this jail what is your advice to them? Scott: Kind of the same as above. Its a laid back jail
just get used to being in your cell. Try to get
along and dont gamble or get into debt Elna: Keep to yourself, eat quickly, stay warm with
blankets and don't listen when other inmates
antagonize you or ask you for your food or your
blankets/sheets. Don't show signs of fear but
don't befriend anyone that seems sketchy. These
people are in jail for a reason. Todd: go do your time get it over with and try not to go
back Guy: stay to yourself, stay out of trouble learn to do
the right thing even in there so you can do it when
you get out. Take some of the courses that they over
to pass time. not a lot overed but u can go to
church and AA/NA meetings.
