Inmates

Interview with Lance, Ana and Jack

JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't.
Lance: No, not really.
Ana: Yes I did. I am use to being in control of my en vironment and inmates are all very selfish and immature with tv, food, card games, showering, poor hygeine habits of other inmates, snoring, etc.
Jack: No i did not find it difficult to get along with other inmates. I stayed quiet and observed how things worked before i became settled into my environment. I read mostly.

JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Lance: I guess I was in a really easy going pod. I saw fights in other pods through a window but I never saw a fight in my own pod. There was occasional yelling but never anything physical.
Ana: Mainly I had to keep my mouth shut. I also had to spend a great deal of time listening to stupid people with poor morals express themselves and judge other people. Drug addict criminals are not very mature, pleasant, smart or kind people. Basically you just have to suck it up and realize that it is not going to be comfortable or pleasant.
Jack: I stayed out of other peoples business and conversations to avoid problems or fights with others. I read mostly, exercised and pretty much kept to myself. I answered questions others asked and was honest about what i was put in there for. I kept court paperwork to prove my honesty.

JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change?
Lance: No, just whoever came in.
Ana: No. If you were in jail for a long time and you obeyed the rules and got on the good side of the detention officers, sometimes you might be granted a request for a cellmate, but not usually. Your cellmate would change everytime someone was released or got into trouble that was your cellmate. Or everytime you were without a cellmate and a new inmate came in, you would generally get a new cellmate. This ranged between daily up to once a month. It was just a hit and miss type of thing.
Jack: I was not able to choose an inmate as a cell mate. While i was put up by the jail i had 3 different cellmates in two weeks time. When i arrived i slept on the floor of a two man cell. Then one mane was moved, i moved onto a bunk and another arrived to take up my previous spot on the floor.
