Inmates

Interview with Darryl, Ralph and Cheryl

JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't.
Darryl: No, I didn't have a problem.
Ralph: The inmates were not agressive nor violent with me. They asked me to help them with their GED work, as I was in garduate school. Actually, they asked me to do it for them, but I offered to do it with them, and ended up tutoring some of them. They were nice to me. They helped me survive the experience.
Cheryl: It wasnt hard to get along with the inmates most of us knew eachother some way or another occationaly you would encounter someone who didnt like you and most the time they just talked shit and that was it as long as you just focused on your self and kept busy it was easy

JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Darryl: I have been locked up a lot of times. Try to get along. If you don't get along with somebody just don't talk to them.
Ralph: Be nice, be friendly, but not too friendly.
Cheryl: you just stayed out of other peoples business didnt act too friendly with the gaurds and just did your daily retuin and if someone said something to you you say something back 90% of the time the girls were all talk but if you just sat there and didnt talk shit back you became more of a target

JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change?
Darryl: Yes, once and a while they let you.
Ralph: I have over 21 different cellmates in 48 days because I was a rare person in max security (where all inmates with comepetency cases are held) but not accused of a violent crime. So they put cell mates with me who were just being bonded out. The longest I had a cell mate was 5 days. Many times I had 2-3 cellmates in an 8 by 8 room, with 1 or 2 sleeping on the floor, and 2 more in the bunks.
Cheryl: most of the time I got to choose my cellmate I was classed as SMAN and MAX so they could only house me with people of the same class than I was put to be housed alone
