JM: What types of facilities were available to help pass the time? Luke: Facilities to help pass the time were mainly the
library which consisted of a book cart with more
romance novels than anything.Cruel and unusual
punishment if you ask me.I for one dont want to
read a romance novel living with a bunch of guys
and activity time which consisted of going
outdoors to walk or play basketball.
JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce? Give details. Luke: Yes we had regular access to entertainment but the
competition was fierce. Everyone would fight about
what to watch or what game to play. Some times it
would even start a physical match between inmates
or groups. Your best bet was to read or get a
partner and play cards.
JM: Did you have a hard time staying in shape while in jail? Luke: never..nothn but time while you are in there so
you could do sit ups and push ups all day everyday
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? Luke: i hr each day during week if we were lucky..mostly
basket ball and walking. If not able to go outside
you would walk the block inside or situps and push ups
JM: Did the jail offer church services? If so, what were they like and when were they held? Luke: Yes,,services were once a week and were non
denominational. Sometimes it was the highlight of
my week. I feel they should have more services.
