Closing Advice

Interview with Kyle, Randy, Tyler, Dave and Melissa

JM: What else would you want a friend or family member to know if they have a loved one going to this jail?
Kyle: Assure them of your love and you'll be there for them no matter what. Don't dwell on the crime. Tell them you'll write and send pictures. You will have your phones set up for available calls, and will try to visit as often as possible.
Randy: I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THEY CERTAINLY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE VISITING AS IT IS THE EASIEST AROUND AND IMMEDIATELY SET UP A PHONE ACCOUNT FOR CALLS. OTHER THAN THAT ITS NOT THAT HARD OF A PLACE TO BE.
Tyler: Be supportive and help in anyway that they could. Try to get a good attorney and get them bonded out as soona s possible. Give them very little money to there commisary account so they will want out as soon as possible
Dave: MAKE SURE YOU TRY TO PUT MONEY ON THE BOOKS FOR THEM SO THAT THEY DONT GO HUNGRY AND SET UP THE PHONE ACCOUNT SO THAT THEY CAN CALL. ALSO GO VISIT THEM
Melissa: Set up the phone account so that they can call you when they need to. Visit them, because that will make it easier and it's easy to get in for a visit. No prearrangements need to be made, just show up during visiting hours. The facility was very clean, and the Deputies and Guards that I encountered actually impressed me with their professionalism and dedication. (I'm saying this as a first-time arrestee, someone who has NEVER been in trouble at ALL, so I'm looking at it from an outsider's point of view. It was nice to see employees CARE about the inmates.)

JM: If somebody knows they will be serving time in this jail what is your advice to them?
Kyle: For the most part it will be safe if you keep your mouth shut and your eyes open. Do your time quietly, quickly and we'll be here when you get out. Get into a routine of reading, working out in your cell and writing. Writing makes the time go by faster than anything. Don't dwell on the past, focus on the future
Randy: I WOULD SAY TO JUST TRY TO GO IN WITH SOME MONEY ON THE BOOKS OR HAVE SOMEONE WHO CAN SEND YOU MONEY. THEY DO HAVE AN ATM TO MAKE DEPOSITS INTO INMATE ACCOUNTS IN THE LOBBY OF THE VISIT AREA.
Tyler: Don't make any friends. They are not your friends. They will full advantage of you any way you can. Get along with your cell-mate as hard as it can be. Read alot, pass your time with anything, stay out of trouble, know your charges if you cant contact a person dont. It will hurt you add more charges, increase your bond and you will stay longer
Dave: GO IN WITH SOME FUNDS OR HAVE SOMEONE ON THE OUTSIDE BE ABLE TO HELP YOU. KEEP TO YOURSELF AND JUST MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS AND YOU WILL BE FINE.
Melissa: Apparently, you want the 3XL pants because they are soft. From what I saw, if you treat the guards/ deputies with respect, they will do the same to you. Keep your area clean and simply do what is asked of you.

JM: Please list any other jail or rehab facilities you have been to.
