Interview with Ron, Candice and Cliff

JM: How many different blocks were there?
Ron: I believe every letter of the alphabet, which would be 26 blocks. I came into D, I was also in L. They at least go to 1/2 of the letters of the alphabet but I'm not sure. Once you are in a block, you never get outside of that block. I stayed in L block for 3 months.
Candice: I really don't know exactly how many
Cliff: i dont know i just stayed in the fed pod

JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Ron: Letters
Candice: They are named by the alphabet...a block, b block, etc.
Cliff: i know that they had letters assingned to them not sure about the rest

JM: Which types of inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Ron: I heard that they had a particular block for mentally ill. I can't remember which block that was. I remember hearing about how people would talk about not wanting to be in C pod or D pods.
Candice: Females are in different housing units from males and then you have juvenile units and units for onmates who have to be on lock down for their own safety or the safety of others
Cliff: i'm not sure i was in federal holding, but ussaully they have misdermeanor, feloney and they have fed blocks along with juviniles, woman and trustee blocks other than that im not sure

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Ron: There was a dayroom and my cell which had airlock doors. I was locked in that cell 23 hours a day. I had a cellmate. The dayroom had a guard station (a little podium with a chair behind with a deputy there all the time). The dayroom had a small 20 inch TV mounted with an enclosure. There were hard chairs like school chairs that you stack, made of blue plastic. They all had nicknames on them. I didn't understand that system and almost got into a fight because I sat in somebody's "assigned chair". From then on I would ask and try to figure out whose chair belongs to who. I learned to stay away from the TV because it is the causes of a lot of fights.
Candice: There is really nothing nice about any of the units and the worst thing is that it is very unsanitary n all of the units and the food is horrible so most people sleep a lot.. and there is no way to see outside so it is very depressing inside
Cliff: i was in federal holding part only and i never went to any others. i never went to the hole for a violation or anything nor was i transford to any other holding area. to me there was nothing nice about where i was being held at because it wasn't home
