Closing Advice

Interview with Tom, Sonja, Kurt and Marshall

JM: What else would you want a friend or family member to know if they have a loved one going to this jail?
Tom: Money coming in would be nice.
Sonja: as hard as it may be, try and be there for the loved one and be supportive. Just because they may have messed up they still love you and still need your love.
Kurt: its going to be tougher for the person going to jail than it is for you, if you wanna help you could give them money for commisary that helps a lot
Marshall: A saying that always got me through that I actually learned in there was; "Be cool, be strong, cause if ya ain't got life then ya ain't got long, keep ya head up".....

JM: If somebody knows they will be serving time in this jail what is your advice to them?
Tom: Just mind your own business. Buy some phone cards cause you can trade those for other things if you want.
Sonja: my advice is to honestly, suck it up and get it over with now. don't push it off if the choice just get it done and put it in the past. Move on and don't do stupid shit to get put back in. remember the feeling you have while you're sitting in jail.
Kurt: its not hardcore, bring some money for commisary if you have it, think of some books to request from the librarian, dont get to worried, dont be rude, sit with your own race
Marshall: Quit smoking, quit salt, quit sugar, get all your loose ends tied up before you go cause knowing if and where is a huge privilege most inmates didn't get and always always let your close family and friends know how much you love them...
