Inmates

Interview with Karl and Willie

JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't.
Karl: I'm kinda more of a loner so I didn't really try to get along with anybody. I just stayed to myself.
Willie: Yes, there are a lot of stupid people in Middlesex jails. i think it is because there are a lot of small town people so the lowell and somerville people act tough. So you got small town people claiming they are from somerville or lowell but arent, then the somerville and lowell people trying to act tough to prove they are. I just cant stand the middlesex county inmates. Most of them are drug addicts that elaborate falsely, which normally wouldnt be an issue, but their attitudes carry on to actions that affect your quality of living. Most of them talk a game they do not walk. They are easily manipulated by C.O.s and a lot of them do tell on you for things.

JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Karl: Avoid confrontation. I didn't play cards with people and avoided things at all cost, didn't talk to anyone that much. Just did my time.
Willie: I had a very hard time avoiding fights and problems with other inmates. I spent a third of my time in "seg" where I suffered through the harassment from inmates and COs and lived off of the scraps they fed us. The COs also turn off your water if you give them lip, which is illegal but no one cares and no one can prove what they are doing.

JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change?
Karl: No. They actually avoid putting you in a cell with someone you knew.
Willie: No, they did not allow any of this. you were stuck where you were stuck. They did change your cellmate whenever, there is no set amount of time, i had frequent changes, as i was in and out of seg
