Inmates

Interview with Stacy, Ron and Tom

JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't.
Stacy: At first not a lot of the girls were friendly at all I pretty much kept to myself the first week, but finally a few started to open up to me and one actually tried flirting with me a lot. Mostly everyone had there "clicks" and just stuck with that. A lot of them were overcoming bad drug addictions so it was very hard for them a few of them flipped out.
Ron: Most inmates were agreeable enough to be civilized with. No different then being on a college campus or similar societal situation. But there were a few egotistical bad eggs that harrased and annoyed other inmates.
Tom: No, I didn't.. They realized I'm Deaf, so they left me alone, being friendly with me.. Some of the inmates wanted to learn sign language. So, I got along with the inmates while waiting for my sentence.

JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Stacy: Well like I said I just kept to myself even though some girls did not like me I just tried to avoid them so I wouldn't have to stay in longer than my set date. Sleep was what I did most hoping the time would go faster.
Ron: Mainly I kept to myself, I didnt take anything said towards me as being directed at me. Essentially playing it off as if they were speaking to another person. Treated others as I myself would have preferred to be treated. I tried to compromise in as many situations as possible.
Tom: I didn't have a problem to avoid. I was nice, respectful, mindful of my business, reading books in my cell, teach some sign languages to keep them motivated to learn more about my language. I also be careful when playing basketball as not to foul anyone, trying too hard, nor stealing anyone's ball. I was being mindful of some inmates' possible tempers.

JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change?
Stacy: I did not know one so I'm not sure, but I don't think so.
Ron: No, you couldnt choose a cell mate because there were far to many inmates for that. Over the course of my 64 days I wound up having 5 different cell mates. First one for 3 days. Second one 30 days. 3rd one 3 days. 4th one 20-25 days. 5th one 4 days.
Tom: No, I wasn't able to choose an inmate as my cellmate. For my deafness. They put me in with a real old nice man who waited to be transferred to a federal prison for the bank robbery.
