JM: What types of facilities were available to help pass the time? Ron: out door yard workout routine church Tiffany: I was only there for the weekend, in the day room
there are table and chairs to sit on. A tv up on
the wall. shower. Mostly we walked around the
room like caged mice. Hugh: There isn't much to do in a cell, but read or do
limited exercises. Some people would stand at
their door to try and watch one of the TVs at the
end of the hall. The Yard is pathetic; walking,
handball, and a semi deflated basketball(for
safety) are the only options. Stevan: that is one of the main problems there is not much to help
you pass the time I think that's. Y it is so boring in there well
I guess its not suppose to be fun but damn there are
somedays that just drag I hated it in there .
JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce? Give details. Ron: i played cards a lot. T.V. was allways on &
loud . Tiffany: There was a tv on the wall in the day room that
was on 24/7 and VERY LOUD. You were not able to
sleep well, only naps really. The PODS were very
noisy and Lights on 24/7. They say they dim them
after 11:30 but they lights were still very bright. Hugh: The Tvs were usually set to the local FOX station
all day and if enough requests were put in to have
it changed during the prime time hours then
majority rules. Sometimes the newspaper from the
dayroom would be taken and that would start a
scene, but mostly people share.
Stevan: I had regular acsess be cause I . Worked as a trustee so I got
to get out of me cell more than just those punk ass two
hours a day it was one of the few bright spots so there was
not much comp if any at all .
JM: Did you have a hard time staying in shape while in jail? Ron: no i like to work out & stay fit , that is the
one good thing about jail a chance to get
right.pay for your crime,& move on Hugh: No. If anything it helped me because I had nothing
but time and emotions/ aggression that needed a
positive outlet. Stevan: No I guess not I'm my cell I would work out most of the
time so I was in pretty god shape
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? Ron: every day that i we were,nt locked down or that
it was,nt to cold. Tiffany: None Hugh: Yard time was only an hour a day or an hour every
other day depending on where you were housed.
Walking was my thing to do. Stevan: I got out every day I had to wash cars every day so I was out
side evry day it sucked when it was cold in the moning
JM: Did the jail offer church services? If so, what were they like and when were they held? Ron: yes mostly low level ,one & two have access to
church on sunday,s & weds. good very good. Tiffany: While I was there for the weekend, one evening a
small group from a church came to the day room and
played some music and talked for about 30 min.
Then on sunday morning, we were still locked in
our pods, you could hear the Pastor speaking for
about 30 minutes. Hugh: The jail would supply you with a bible if
requested, but i never heard of any actual
services held or offered. The Chaplain did stop by
once. Stevan: I don't know if they . If they did I never went I . Or even
remember anyone else going
