Closing Advice

Interview with Emily, Kelly, Bill, Katrina, Billy and Cory

JM: What else would you want a friend or family member to know if they have a loved one going to this jail?
Emily: yes jail its not a place for women nor men but if you want to avoid from going there find you something constructive to do with your life such as taking a trade reading getting a new set of friends because you got to share and you got officers watching you all day and night its no privacy at all
Kelly: At times we were able to order products from the commissary but I had no money so I got the indigent kit which included paper and stamps to mail letters a ink pen and basic supplies. Other inmates who had cash on hand were able to order face cream, cookies, assorted candy bars, stamps, paper and a list of items. We had one day a week to place our orders and then they came a couple of hours later. The form had to be completely filled out with no mistakes. You also had to fill out paper forms to see the doctor, dentist, chaplain. Generally when you placed a request you were able to be seen by whomever you desired by the next day. In many ways the jail is run very efficiently.
Bill: Try to stay in contact as best you can or as much as allowed. it is very difficult if someone is not familiar with the process.
Katrina: Don't go to jail I wouldn't wish jail on my worse enemy they issue you used and recycled underwear its nasty don't touch nothing at all they don't give you nothing to clean with
Billy: I would like them to know that its not all that great. If you have a lot time or no bond then keep your love ones positive and let them know that you will be by there side if you can.
Cory: the staff displays uncaring attitudes, some of them, I find them to be very unhelpful and controlling. when you are trying to get out on bond, they will not supply you with any information and will not allow you to use the phone until they get ready.

JM: If somebody knows they will be serving time in this jail what is your advice to them?
Emily: just hold your head up it seems once we get in trouble we tend to find the man above we should have thought about God before we got ourselves in to the trouble once you out dont look back and dont go back look ahead and forward get in church if you cant make it to church let church be in you and thank him for your daylight and family
Kelly: If a friend I knew was going to jail I would tell them to try to keep their watch as you never know the time. I would tell them to be patient and try to meet someone they could enjoy spending time with. It is a rough place to be but with faith you live thru it. Any future inmate I would tell to follow all of the rules as you do not want to be locked down and to not fight with other inmates but to try to be pleasant and patient.
Bill: Be polite, and respect the corrections officers.
Katrina: Be very careful because people who have serious health conditions like aids could be your roommate and you won't even know it just leave the jail with what you came in with nothing
Billy: The advice i would give is to stay positive, try not to get unto any fight if you can help it. Start reading the bible for guidance and prayer. Be strong and hold on.
Cory: to try to remain humble and do as you are told to do. Follow the rules, and don't get involved with the wrong kind of people. and your time will be up quickly.

JM: Please list any other jail or rehab facilities you have been to.
Katrina: None
Billy: No other jails
Cory: coffee county jail.
