Interview with Greg and Tyler

JM: What types of facilities were available to help pass the time?
Greg: I was only able to go to the shower rooms, outside rec area, and cells to visit other inmates. I never got to see or offered a library or kitchen or play room or weight room like i seen on tv shows. It was really quite boring with nothing to do.
Tyler: law library, Chess games, checkers games, store call, recreational room, television and to get a hair cut. Some things are hard to do though cause people want to hog some activities and not let anyone else play with them so sometimes it might cause an argument. I just recommend staying out of jail

JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce? Give details.
Greg: The only entertainment i had avaliable was the 6 inch television located at the top of the recreation room, which the channels had to be changed with a broom stick. And you only watched what everyone else was watching. And sometimes the guards would turn it off at night. Making it quiet at night, some people can';t sleep in that kind of quietness.
Tyler: I did have regular access to chess checker and the tv or phones. Sometimes people like to hog one or the other but a simple I would like to play usually worked. I am slightly on the bigger side being 6ft 215lbs though so people usually didn't argue with my but I am no bully

JM: Did you have a hard time staying in shape while in jail?
Greg: Not really, only 3 SMALL meals a day. There was not a weight room but i walked around the blocks.
Tyler: not really I just stayed away from the bread and sweets and made sure I worked out daily with push ups pull ups and I did a lot of calisthenics to try and keep in shape

JM: How often did you get to go outside? What did you do outside if you were allowed to? If you were not allowed to go outside what could you do for exercise?
Greg: I was able to go out side everyday if we were all being good. Nothing to do outside, there was a basket ball goal but no balls. And if we couldn't go outside then i just walked inside.
Tyler: Never for to go outside. Lowndes county jail is very bad about giving yard call to inmates they do have a recreation room that has a window in it though but we still only went one time while I was there and I had to ask to go

JM: Did the jail offer church services? If so, what were they like and when were they held?
Greg: No church services were offered to me or my cellmates. I don't think they had one in the jail though?
Tyler: no they did not but sometimes ministers would come out and do a bible study but they would only go to certain cell blocks and mine was not one of them
