JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't. Wade: Yah it's ez to get along with the other cons its all about
showing respect to each other and minding your own bissiness
you won't get along with everyone just stick with a few people Casey: It was both difficult and easy, depending on who
you were talking to. At first, everything seems
like it may be difficult in jail, but the reality
is that getting along with inmates is easier than
one may think.
JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates? Wade: You had to watch the way you talked to people if some one
thinks you disrespected them they the have to fight you if you
call some one a bitch or punk that's an automatic fight or if you
call some one a rat or skinner that's an automatic fight Casey: In order to avoid fighting with inmates it was
necessary to keep to myself and not rely on others
for anything. I couldn't share my things off
commissary because then I would get taken
advantage of. Going in, you just know better than
to do these types of thing anyway, so it wasn't
really an issue. Getting to know people and
keeping them close to you also helped, it would
keep people who you didn't trust away from your
vicinity.
JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change? Wade: You can't choose a cell may at first they just put you were they
put you but after a while you can get a cell change to live with
one of your buddies Casey: No, nobody was able to choose their cellmates. My
cellmate changed whenever they got bailed out.
Multiple females were bailed out everyday, usually
only to return, but that's another issue entirely.
