Telephones. Weekly church services and AA and NA.
Playing cards or chess and checkers. Writing
letter or drawing. Or if necessary, sleeping the
day away. Walking around the cell block as well.
JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce? Give details. Tim: There was regular access to the entertainment,
television and so on. Sometimes there was slight
arguments on what was on and maybe a vote taken. As
far as competition being fierce, it depended on
"who" was wanting to watch what. when that happened,
the officer would turn off the television.
JM: Did you have a hard time staying in shape while in jail? Tim: Not really. By walking around and doing push ups and
sit ups. Or attempting pull ups on the bunk was
another.
JM: How often did you get to go outside? What did you do outside if you were allowed to? If you were not allowed to go outside what could you do for exercise? Tim: Outside recreation was available daily for one hour.
Doing work out routines, walking around and
etcetera. If the weather was bad, then doing
routines inside.
JM: Did the jail offer church services? If so, what were they like and when were they held? Tim: Yes church services of different kinds were
available. I did not attend myself however. i am not
sure where they were held.
