Interview with Richard, Dave and Jon

JM: How many different blocks were there?
Richard: I was In the D block. I dont know how many blocks there where.
Dave: there were 15 different cell blocks
Jon: 50

JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Richard: They did not have names. They were all marked alphabetically.
Dave: yes they were all numbered like cell block d1 and d2
Jon: B2 MIDDLE

JM: Which types of inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Richard: I really dont know.I would assume for similar charges to what I received. Or maybe they were based on the degree of the crime. I didnt talk to anyone nor was I interested in knowing there crime.
Dave: Well there was general population where everyone was allowed to be in together in a open room and there were areas for soilitary confinment inmates that were only allowed out one hour a day
Jon: All kinds, rapists, robbers, drug dealers, gang members, ex cops, murders, etc

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Richard: I was only ever been in one block. It was clean and it seemed very efficient. Just the fact that I was in jail and in a cage made it the worst part of being in that block. The guards and personnel there are kind of brisk most of the time but not mean unless your being a jerk.
Dave: nicest parts of the blocks i was in was the ability to watch television during the day time and be able to play cards at the tables and workout in the day room. We actually had space and were able to walk around a little bit as well. Had little more freedom
Jon: There's nothing nice about jail and anything could happen. Inmates have died because of the lack of professionalism by jail staff.
