Interview with Alex, Javier and Kyle

JM: How many different blocks were there?
Alex: There were ten blocks.
Javier: 16
Kyle: I would say it was over a hundred

JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Alex: Block A, Block B, Block C, Block D, Block E, Block F, Block G, Block H, Block I, and Block J.
Javier: They went from A Block up to P Block.
Kyle: Can't remember any names but I was guess they were categories by letters

JM: Which types of inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Alex: Block D held the inmates on 23 hour temperary lockdown. Block E held the inmates who were not mentally stable. H housed inmates who were on full lockdown. C and F housed the trustees. Blocks I and J held the murderers and sex offenders.
Javier: Usually A-D were new inmates or short timers. E was known as the "Zombie" Block. It was for psych inmates. F was the trustee block. G and H is where you DON'T want to be. That is confinement... lockdown... the hole. I-L are other ones you want to stay clear from. Its mostly gang members, rapist, sexual offenders and even some killers awaiting trial. M-N is the womens block. O-P is open bay. If you dont like being locked in your room all the time and can handle sleeping in an area with 6 guys around you this is the block for you.
Kyle: It was mostly drug dealers drunks and robberies while I was dere but people lie about there reason for being in jail I also believe that some were there for having warrants

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Alex: In the nicer blocks, you were able to watch tv, play cards, and pretty much have a "nice" stay while in jail. In the more stricter blocks, sometimes you weren't able to shower or have access of going outside.
Javier: Id have to say out of all the blocks O-P are the worst only because your practically guaranteed to have a woman officer. They are not fun at all. The best is probably the trustee block. You rarely get locked down and you usually get more freedom. G and H are horrible. The rooms smell like piss and you're only allowed an hour a day outside your room... AN HOUR!
Kyle: The best thing is u will be wit people who had similar charges or around the similar amount of time so I guess this kept the conflict down by putting people on a similar path with each other only bad thing about it is that its cellblock u in jail
