Interview with Jorge, Jeannette and Larry

JM: How many different blocks were there?
Jorge: 4 on each floor, with 3 floors.
Jeannette: no idea what this is
Larry: There are 4 blocks in every pod

JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Jorge: By the floor. I was on 5 B. 5 A was the hole. 5C and D was on the other side of the hall.
Jeannette: still no idea on what this is any more word
Larry: They were just called a,b,c and d blocks in the pod

JM: Which types of inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Jorge: 5 B was usually the school floor where they had young kids getting their GEDS. 5A was the hole. 4th floor was violent, rowdy. 3rd floor trustees, women and mentally ill. Because it is overcrowded they usually don't follow this criteria.
Jeannette: stayed in my cell
Larry: I was on the fourth floor so it was a mixture really unless they had medical problems or were females then they would be on a seperate floor in the building

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Jorge: All the floors were pretty much the same as far as niceness. On the 5th floor you had more activities available because of the school, such as board games.
Jeannette: i stayed in an 8 by 8 cell only time i came out was ofr manatory shower day and that sucked
Larry: The blocks were all in the same big room so there was no difference between any of the four blocks in the pod besides the location of them in the pod.im not sure how other jails are set up but the pod was basically all one big unit except for you would get out of your cells at diffrent times
