Leisure Time

Interview with Angela

JM: What types of facilities were available to help pass the time?
Angela: TV, scrabble, dominos, a really pathetic gym (it is jail so what do you expect?). Thats about it. Oh and the library but the book selection sucks; nothing but cheap romance novels . Cards. Meet people talk write read but the best thing to pass time is to sleep alot.

JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce? Give details.
Angela: I wouldn't say that there was any entertainment in the jail except for the one t.v. that was located up high on the ceiling and i don't know how they changed the channel, i guess they asked a guard to change the channel, i just watched whatever was on at the time, and very little at that because it was a smallscreen t.v., and i couldn't hear it very well with all the talking in the common area.

JM: Did you have a hard time staying in shape while in jail?
Angela: no not really but for females there's nothing too do to exercise except walk around in circles in your dorm

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?
Angela: In your dorm there is a room that is called outside. Its fenced in at the top with gates and barb wire but you can see the sky That's outside

JM: Did the jail offer church services? If so, what were they like and when were they held?
Angela: yes but they were random. Held in a multipurpose room inside your dorm. They were okay but people made others not want to go.
