Interview with Sean

JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't.
Sean: First ten days was rough. Had several bullies to harrass me. They were making alcohol in the jail and new inmates come in with drugs and a cellphone. Apparently good friend of the trouble makers. I tried to stick to myself,however I did have a couple inmates that were decent to me.

JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Sean: Tried to stick to myself. Avoided conflicts by trying to fit in. Acted as if I was asleep when they got drunk, thats when they wanted to fight. I also jumped in to help on the daily cleaning of cell. I really think this gained some respect because I was helping to keep place clean.

JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change?
Sean: No. We origially was in a "pod" of 30 beds. Some of the rowdy ones stripp[ed wiring from overhead lighting to make something to boil water. They had a name for that contraption, but I forgot what they called it. Anyway, the LT. was PISSED and sent us all into the yard in late Feb.to wait for trustees to move our stuff to max security 1. These were cells of 6 inmates and you got out 1 hour a day for excercise/showers and phone calls. The funnynest thing happened while we were waiting in the cold to go to our other cells. The LT. was out interagating everone and cussing us. He had a teargas shotgun and was theatening us. He actually fired it above the heads of 4 of the correctional officers to show us it was real, and when he did the gas got all over the officers and they were crying and scirming around trying to act tough. It was quite amusing. I was transfered to the "new jail" after four days in this hellhole.
