Interview with Jerry and Pat

JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't.
Jerry: they made me a torpedo which is a jail term name that they used for someone who would go hit who ever your head (boss) told you too and if you didn't they would hit you luckily i didn't have to because we got put in lock down but i almost got into it with an older guy then me because he didn't like what i was doing which wasn't bothering no one else but him
Pat: Yes it was very diffuclt because you had all different races and cultures. They just pin point people they dont like and they try and pull you in theri click

JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Jerry: i got along with the head (boss) of my race so he would have my back that's how i would avoid fights and problems so i wouldn't go to the hole but before you would even want to fight you would have to talk to the head that way they can know the situation and handle what needs to be done
Pat: I just kept too my self- smile alot and dont get in others business I feel too be positive and dont get in conversations about the negative. Also dont try and smoke or get drugs while your in their you will get caught and its not worth it. Do alot of spiritual reading

JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change?
Jerry: no you dont get to choose your cellmate the only way is if you write a request to be moved somewhere else or if you where cool with the detention officer and people would change left and write especially the ones that owed money or the ones that knew they would get jumped
Pat: No- you dont pick who you want its what they give you and you better try and get along with them and dont tell them too much of your business twice
