Interview with Ralph, Rachel, Fred, Craig and Joe

JM: How many different blocks were there?
Ralph: there were alot of different levels of the jail,
Rachel: I think on our floor, there were 3 or 4 different dorms.
Fred: they had atleast 3 different buildings...pods, cells....
Craig: I truly and honestly dont know.
Joe: I believe there are 10 pods total.

JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Ralph: you had bldg's 1 thru 22 i believe, depending on the crime thats how they seperate you
Rachel: I really don't remember , I believe they were numbered. Didn't really want to get to know the county jail that intimately, don't plan on going back.
Fred: they went by like pod a pod b pod c pod d, or 22 23 24 25
Craig: Mainly they had number and letter designations, and I don't remember them all. Nor am I trying to.
Joe: I dont think I remember all of them, but 2C is holding, the hole which is 2D, 2b is something, 3rd floor is a few pods that has the infirmary and special management pods. The fourth floor is all felony pods I believe, and the fifth floor has 3 misdemeanor pods 5H, %C, and 5D and 1 felony pod 5H

JM: Which types of inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Ralph: you had the main jail which would house the more dangerous criminals and they would actually have cells, and others were divided up in pods
Rachel: Felons, violent crimes, misdemeanors
Fred: you had different types i guess. you had your work release, minimum security, medium security, maximum security...depends on the crimes committed by the inmates determines where they will stay inside the jail
Craig: That really just depended mainly upon how they were "classified". Its customary to house felons with felons and misdameanors with misdameanors, etc, etc. However, the clogging of the system, there is truly know telling who might end up where.
Joe: As I said previously the 5th floor mainly housed misdemeanants and the fourth floor housed felons and max security prisoners. The third floor had the infirmary and housed inmates who needed medical attention. The second floor was intake and the hole.

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Ralph: the work release was probably the nicest they had vending machines and two tv's
Rachel: The guards were on a power trip, if you were staggering to get out of bed and in to the food line when you got to the front, they wouldn't let you eat.
Fred: well i remember i was placed in the work release program which is considered minimum security which means its more in the better part of the jail. maximum security is considered the worse part of the jail, less benefits alot more strict with rules and freedom. so thats basically the just of how the jail is split up.
Craig: The nicest part was knowing that I got to leave someday and live my life without eternal supervision. The worst part was being there, living my life with said supervision, by people who do and have done worse things then me, who are telling ME Im f**ked up because, for the sake of succintness, not a lap dog in there power.
Joe: It is a very nice jail as far as jails go. The food is still terrible just like any jail. Denver County prides itself on maintaining its Triple Crown status, which is a designation given out by I think the American Correctional Association. Its jail so don't be expecting to much other than its the cleanest jail I've ever been in.
