JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Trisha: See above.
Jared: Alpha charlie delta so forth and so on. Like the army or something.
Lucia: there was north housing south housing east housing and west housing

JM: Which types of inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Trisha: They keep the sex offenders in c pod, and protective custody in H pod. Anybody that is super high risk they keep up in booking.
Jared: If it was the hole any one with any one .if IIT was dorms they tried to go with the charges they have or the majority of the people would rule out the weak like all racist men had a firm well multiples when I think about it.
Lucia: i'm one hundred percent sure what time of inmates were in each house, i do know that north housing was for violent offenders or people that had gotten into fights in jail. mostly 23 hour lockdown. east housing was the bigger of the pods, a lot of drug charges and people coming back through from their riders. the other two i am not sure.

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Trisha: North housing is where they keep all the shit sticks-trouble makers- because its more secure. East housing is where you go if you are more mild. A pod is for the super high max, and that's where I always did my time.
Jared: Nice I would say nothing .the worst I would say having to deal with all the racist bull shit and people that were in there.even some of the guards we'ree racist and I had to deal with that also . It was difficult for me, my life has been prettey rough.
Lucia: i was only in one block but i do know that the pod i was in on my block was extremely nice. most of the people coming through were kind and had a lot of wisdom to spread about their experiences. the worst was probably the amount of times people brought up relapse when they were going to be released
