Closing Advice

Interview with Rod, Kerry, Milton and James

JM: What else would you want a friend or family member to know if they have a loved one going to this jail?
Rod: MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY ON THEIR BOOKS. FOR COMMESSARY. THAT'S MOST IMPORTANT. AND IF THEY WANT TO MAKE CALLS, GET A CALLING CARD.
Kerry: i guess i would have to say just relax don't let sheriffs fuck with you because they are real dicks!I can not emphicize that enough dont cry and don't take no shit off knowone
Milton: Just to get a routine down to pass the time learn how to play cards and get to working out. Go outside whenever you can and breath that fresh air
James: They should know that it isn't always so simple as having a set time to hear from them by phone, as there are times when things like lockdowns are imposed etc,. so that if an inmate was supposed to call at a particular time, don't be too concerned if they don't as institutional workings are not always consistently operated. Though jail is unpleasant, a friend or loved one can survive it easier if the are mindful uf there "p's and q's!
