Closing Advice

Interview with Eric, Bonnie, Jerome, Big Kim and Josh

JM: What else would you want a friend or family member to know if they have a loved one going to this jail?
Eric: Tell the to stop breaking the law! Wait I didn't beak the law and was taken to jail anyway. Here is my advice,before you hire anybody to enforce the laws we as voters make. Make sure that you give them a full mental and physical evaluation. If they have ever done drugs they cannot be hired,if they are former military with a jumpy trigger finger they cannot be hired. Anybody with any thing in their past that would suggest that they could take advantage of the position should not be hired.All law enforcement should have to attend monthly Human Relations classes to learn empathy for the HUMANS they are looking after.Just because 50% of the inmates in this country are career criminals doesn't mean that the other 50% are going to repeat there mistakes.If you take away a mans/or womans hope of recovery then you WILL produce repeat criminals. I heard staff telling some of the inmates things like "I don't know why your such a hurry to get out you'll just be back in a days".Now is that what you say to encourage someone to try and be a better member of society? I know that is just a small prtion of the problem,but it's not a bad place to start.
Bonnie: Remember to not let depression turn you mean. That is self destructive.
Jerome: SIT ON THEIR BUTT AND KEEP THEIR MOUTH SHUT
Big Kim: Everything should resolve itself in the process if one keeps their mouth shut and eyes open, follows jail instituted rules, and don't trust anyone inmates or staff....
Josh: learn from your mistake and dont go back

JM: If somebody knows they will be serving time in this jail what is your advice to them?
Eric: Quit breaking the law! Go to school there are hundreds of resources out there you just got to be willing. I know it can be done I'm going to college with 2 convicted felons and their both going to graduate with Associates Degrees in Welding Technologies and they did it all on Federal Aid and State Grants.
Bonnie: Don't go there and if you do play the game their way so you get out as soon as you can.
Jerome: DONT DO THE CRIME
Big Kim: do your time as best you can, bite your tongue as much as possible and if or when pushed into a corner fight your way out, even if you get a black eye or split lip you'll hold respect of other inmates if you trade blows, if you snivel and cry like a "b****" you'll forever be treated as one by most who witnessed this..
Josh: DONT GO BACK!!!
