JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't. Jamie: No. I was not a child and did not get involved
with borrowing money i couldn't pay back or
getting in the mix of all of it. Most people if
you treat them with respect they leave you
alone.There is always drama going in with
childlike people fighting and stealing but if you
keep to your business most people respect that. Karina: NO i did not find it difficult to get along with
the rest of the inmates because i kept to myself
i wasn't all trying to be up in everyones
business.
JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates? Jamie: Again don't borrow thing i can pay. If i don't
have it I go without. Stay away from different
ethnic groups that don't want you around. Basically
mind your own business. Karina: Wwll really you just got to make sure you dont
get in other peoples business number one, becuse
if it don involve you then you should not worry
about it. i just minded my own business but i
did not let myself seem like a pushowver i just
standed my own ground`
JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change? Jamie: No rooms were assigned to you. There was a public
area that you could talk with the people you met
there.At first I shared a room with an older
women who had been there before. She knew the
ropes. I borrowed some coffee from her and ended
up having to get her some tylenol in return.
Nothing is free in jail Karina: No your not able to change or choose your own
inmate. iNMATES WILL CHANGE PERIODICALLY, it
just depended if your roomate was released or
moved to another unit then youd have a bed
available and so new girls would come in
