Leisure Time

Interview with Adam

JM: What types of facilities were available to help pass the time?
Adam: Outdoor/indoor free-weights and excercise machines, handball courts, horseshoe pits, baseball and football field, running track, outdated library. Maintenance areas for work, kitchen area for work, grounds crews, indoor and outdoor basketball courts, tv in the indoor basketball court. Other than that there wasn't much to do unless you were easy to please.

JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce? Give details.
Adam: Depends on what you consider "entertainment". The competition was fierce for everything from entertainment, to the phones, to food, to seating, clothes, food you bought yourself, personal tv's, radios, excercise equipment, sporting equipment, card games, bedding. Everything was a flashpoint waiting to happen, nothing was off limits or not worthy of fighting over to the prison minded that make up most of that population.

JM: Did you have a hard time staying in shape while in jail?
Adam: Not really if you didn't have to take meds or didn't gain weight easily due to stress. I got upto 168 while in prison which is my heaviest ever. I'm normally between 130 & 135. I either gain or lose 5 lbs. each and every month like clockwork.

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?
Adam: Unless it was pouring down rain or foggy, or we were locked down due to misbehavior/security reasons/wide spread cell tosses we were outside daily in between meals, head count or something along those lines.

JM: Did the jail offer church services? If so, what were they like and when were they held?
Adam: They did and were mostly non-denominational, but offered Islamic services which were mostly for the african-americans, no Jewish services that I can recall, obviously they offered christian based services. They were what was to be expected at any service on the outside ecpet you were dealing with prisoners. Everyone made nice while in attendance, outside was another story.
