Interview with Eric

JM: How many different blocks were there?
Eric: Three blocks and ten dorms, to the best of my knowledge.

JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Eric: They were numbered. Some were working forms others were blocks.

JM: Which types of inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Eric: Housing was done depending on protective custody and crime committed. As well as whether you worked or not. My firm was writing, mixed race. If you didn't fit the predetermined races you were paved ad best as could.

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Eric: The food was okay and we got extras when it was our turn to. Since it was a firm we weren't locked down. It was cold and the streets would overflow into the living quarters. We didn't get to go outside. And the clothing switch was only once a week.
