Leisure Time

Interview with Brandon

JM: What types of facilities were available to help pass the time?
Brandon: There was a courtyard with a basketball court and a handball court. There were 4 TV's in each building, one for each race. There was also a pretty decent size library, where you could check out as many books as you want. A lot of guys played dominos and cards too.

JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce? Give details.
Brandon: There were 4 Tv's, and sometimes there would be arguments over what to watch, but not very often. What was funny to me was there would be guys watching COPS and first 48 a lot. Kind of ironic right? Guess maybe they were hoping to see themselves or something. I never watched much TV.

JM: Did you have a hard time staying in shape while in jail?
Brandon: I don't really stay in shape when I'm not in jail, but jail makes it worse because the food is crap and most things on commissary are junk food.

JM: How often did you get to go outside? What did you do outside if you were allowed to? If you were not allowed to go outside what could you do for exercise?
Brandon: Any time there was "free time" you could go outside on the courtyard. I played basketball sometimes. If you couldn't go outside you could always exercise in your room.

JM: Did the jail offer church services? If so, what were they like and when were they held?
Brandon: Yes, they were held in an auditorium type room and they were just like going to a church on the outside.
