Visitor Policy

Interview with John

JM: How often could you receive visitors?
John: Twice a week?? EI never received " visitors " as I say below in a personal sense . Early on , when I knew it was likely I'd be doing time , I asked one santa Cruz friend to , if it was possible at any time I was inside , IF , keep the possibility of visiting me if he was nearby (He is a traveling street musician - from Scotland .) , for wich he would've had to give me certain " ID-card " information that I would've had to present the jail people for them to approve , hopefully , him . Long story short , while I promised I'd do nothing bad with such information , and I did not even ask for a promise he would visit , or even write , only the possibility being open and if he happened to be in the area anyway...he gave me a lot of evasive answers and sort of (to parody) gave me " don't harsh my mellow3 dude/you're too logical " answers - basically , later on , he let it slip IIRC that hem was determined to never do it , even leave it as a (As I said) even possibility - He said at one point " Do I ask you to visit me at (a new job in a nearby town from which I beieve he could've reached me , if he were there - he tended toward evasive " i don't have an ID card/I don't know what the bus schedlues are " answers .) Eventually , he IIRC let it slip afterward that he had been detremined to never even say that he might visit me , let alone actually do it . \ This greatly reduced/has all but destroyed our friendship , such as it was . A friend in need ! Yeah - right.........

JM: Was the check-in process lengthy for those who came to see you?
John: Beyond some people from charity organization Friends Outside , whom I asked to see , no one ever came to visit me , so that's non-applicable .

JM: What was the visiting environment like?
John: Seperated by walls and a window , I think you could speak through meshing , not a telephone . I was only visited once , as I said , so...
