Inmates

Interview with Adam

JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't.
Adam: In jail, like in prison for the most part your either a wolf or a sheep. Of you try to fake it and hope for the best. During my last month in prison, I was sexually assaulted multiple times. The guards don't do their jobs correctly nor do they provided a safe environment. They are too busy bring in drugs or allowing the to be smuggled in by visitors. I have witnessed both occuring on multiple occasions.

JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Adam: Keep to myslf mostly, stay in my cell for long periods of time either sleeping or reading. Both of which get old fast, and also draws the wrong kind of attention after awhile. There really is no other option in prison/jail other than trying to find a few people you get along with and hope for the best. Meaning you hope the won't stab you in the back in any number of ways in a prison mentality setting. Its a risk either way but the environment leaves you no rela options or time in which to decide your best possible course.

JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change?
Adam: Not really. Maybe 2-5 times a year as they were moved, released or relocated. There is probably a 30% chance you will get along with a random cell mate and a 70% chance there will be issues of one nature or another.
