Interview with Ben and Laura

JM: How many different blocks were there?
Ben: When I was in Lubbock Co Jail, there was two different wings; one for more serious crimes and the other for more minor crimes, well thats what my understanding was. The wing I was in was for more minor crimes and had I think 4 or 5 floors to it with 3 or 4 cells that had 12-24 men per cell.
Laura: If I remember correctly there were 6 blocks

JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Ben: A-Block, B-Block, and C-Block etc; if I remember correctly.
Laura: I believe that they were appropriately numbered 1 through 6.

JM: Which types of inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Ben: The wing I was in was for more minor crimes, the other wing which included ex: F2-F3 etc., housed more serious offenders.
Laura: Numbers 1,3,4,5, and 6 housed men while number 2 housed women. The blocks were then separated into like 5 different pods. Some of the pods held aggravated inmates, some isolated inmates, etc.

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Ben: WORST PART, was the food Im a big dude and the food was bearly any and not very good. The best part was when I got visitaion even though it was only for 30 mins.
Laura: Due to the fact that I was being held on a robbery charge, I was kept in an aggravated pod so some of the women in my pod were a little on the intense side. Most of the women required psychiatric medication once, maybe twice a day and at least half the pod was being held on a narcotics charge.
