Interview with Kelly, Katrina, Billy and Cory

JM: How many different blocks were there?
Kelly: I do not know how many cells there were but I would think there was 3 or 4 additional cells. You never saw additional inmates except at the doctor, dentist or at the church services.
Katrina: It was only one floor 6 pods
Billy: Over 60 blocks on a floor,
Cory: oh, my this is a big jail, Probably about 50.

JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Kelly: There are just named letters.
Katrina: 100 200 300 400 500 600 but no names only numbers
Billy: The blocks were call by your floor number and cell
Cory: The blocks were alphabetized. so it was like a- block, b-block,etc.

JM: Which types of inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Kelly: One block was all members of a New Beginning Class I signed up for but was never allowed to enter. The New Beginning Class is a class which last a week and you work on yourself and try to figure out a way to have a new beginning. I continued to sign up for the class but I think they may first accept people who have drug problems and that was not my situation. I wanted to go as I lost both of my children to death and five days after we buried our son my husband filed for divorce so I need a new beginning. This class allows individuals time to work on themselves and I did hope to be able to attend. The entire cell block were class members. The leader of the class is a social worker and teaches people how to map their life.
Katrina: It was only one female floor which is in the basement of the jail pod 400 was only for people who were mental and they had a new beginnings program in 300
Billy: The types of inmates housed in the blocks were Gang member had there own floor, Women were together, and mens, gay men and gay women were housing differently and the medical floor was for sick or hurt inmates
Cory: Violent crimes were housed together in D-house. Mental patients were housed together. Patients with serious illness, like HIV were put together. Non-violent crimes people were put together. Some people were put anywhere because of overcrowdness.

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Kelly: I never saw any of the other blocks so do not know much about the other blocks. I was only allowed into medical and my own cell block. I never saw any other blocks.
Katrina: There is nothing nice about jail it was nothing nice to remember at all jail is dirty and it floods toilet water in the female pod whenever the officers piss the men off and they flood which is nasty the showers and cells are full of mold it's dust everywhere
Billy: What i remember about the nicest was that we got to go out and play ball, cards, and exercise.What i remember about the worst is the guards. They were very mean and disrespectful to us.Also the worst was the food,it was dry and hard, hardly any seasoning. The juice was nasty
Cory: I was only on one block and as far as the block I was on, it did have a room with mats in it. so we could go in and at least exercise a little, when they would permit it. other than that I really could not say anything nice about the blocks. However, the worst part was the loud noise and the filthy showers.
