Leisure Time

Interview with Melanie

JM: What types of facilities were available to help pass the time?
Melanie: not much books, tv, a deck of cards if you could afford them and sometimes a board game or puzzle they were said to of had I think it was a basketball court but I never seen it I got told they only take the guys but we were supposed to go outside once a day and I never went out

JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce? Give details.
Melanie: huh if there wasn't a system set up that the guards enforced then it was just ridiculous. put it this way to avoid drama I never watched tv I would read around a book a day about a 400 page book a day but sleeping is the best thing to do in there

JM: Did you have a hard time staying in shape while in jail?
Melanie: the hardest thing you could ever try and do because there is nothing to do but eat and there is also literally no room with all of the people

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?
Melanie: never went out and I was there in the summer, for exercise well walk around in the cell do push ups and sit ups and just learn to use the bit of stuff you have

JM: Did the jail offer church services? If so, what were they like and when were they held?
Melanie: I don't know if so I was asleep when they were offered I don't go to church outside so I don't get that "jail house religion" to make myself look better like a lot of people try to do
