Interview with Erik and Clayton

JM: How many different blocks were there?
Erik: There were 2 floors.
Clayton: I think I remember at least 5. There might have been more. They also had an outdoor rec area and an indoor rec area.

JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Erik: The shoe, east and west blocks, dorm living.
Clayton: I think they were named...I have no idea what they were. I can't remember.

JM: Which types of inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Erik: The shoe is segregated from the rest of the jail, and this is where the violent and sex offenders are housed. They are locked down for 23 or 24 hours a day. The rest of the jail is sectioned off into the east and west sides. Sentenced inmates live in kicked back dorm living area.
Clayton: Most of the guys in our area were in for something that would be 1 year or less, then there were mid level guys and then there was a high security area. I knew where others were but I didn't get anywhere near them.

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Erik: Dorm living area was the nicest part of the jail. It was more laid back. It was the sentenced dorm. They had ping pong, table tennis and rented movies every night. Good living for jail. Napa Jail is privately owned by Mormons. It's more clean than other jails.
Clayton: It seemed like that maybe the middle level guys that were looking at 5 to 20-30 years had a little bit cleaner area and the officers treated them a little better. Their clothing was better, they had better visiting conditions, etc.
