Jenna: i do not know - one woman that was in for child abuse was in the hall way - officers tormented her & threatened to put her with the people that already been sentenced to life. * whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty -
Diane: you have mistamener, felony, drug related I believe.

Andrea: one - trustee another three - for general one - was made into a male juvenile cell block medical - is in front with sign-in deputies solitaire and suicide watch cells are along the halls

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Jenna: you are kidding right ? its jail - there is nothing - not one thing nice about it
Diane: The nicest part was that I was in the mistamener part, all the felony blocks seem to have more problems fights etc.
Norman: community was the best block the inmates were not convicted of violent crimes or anything like that so it was a much calmer atmosphere than the other blocks the psych block was the worst due to the inmates having mental conditions and lack of medications or something because they seem to have the most problems
Andrea: i had a corner cell - so it was set more away from the other cells or stairs, which made it quieter and easier to keep clean that i guess was the best part - the worst was being quarantined cause they had a tb person in the same wing & watching some woman have a miscarriage
