JM: How many different blocks were there?
Timmy: I don't honestly know. Frost proof is massive. There are maybe 50 pods housing up to 70 inmates. They are not all in use. Annex has about 6 dorms. Each has way too many inmates for what it was designed for.
Michael: not sure. think 5 or 6
Lindsay: 5_6
Frank: I DONT REALLY KNOW 26 I THINK

JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Timmy: I don't remember the names.
Michael: no. but where i was was called the special needs unit or s.n.u.
Lindsay: M,N,O,Q,R
Frank: THEY WERE GIVEN ALL THE ALPHABET LETTERS A THRU Z??

JM: Which types of inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Timmy: There are maximum security dorms at Frostproof but they only differ from the rest in the number of total inmates they hold. Max dorms are half size. There is a protective custody dorm and a max dorm at the annex but they are are small 2 man cells.
Michael: different security levels im sure

Timmy: Best: Frostproof. Frostproof, has large and spacious dorms. Ample shower facilities. A toilet in every 2 man cell. More telephones. 2 televisions. Worst: Annex. It is a hell hole. The only saving grace is that it is temporary.

Frank: SOUTH SOUNTY IN FRROSTPROOF NOT TOO BAd cuz it is in the big dormroom format where all the cells are surrounding the main dorm BUT THEY ARE ALL THE SAME NO PREFFERENCE YOU MIGHT LUCK OUT AND SEE WHERE THE GAURDS ARE A LIL BETTERR AT A DORM AND THEN TRY TOT GET TRANSFERRED THERE
