JM: What else would you want a friend or family member to know if they have a loved one going to this jail?
Tim: Where something warm and where socks
Adrian: tough love is the only way please love the person and hate the sin. never give up hope that they will find there way back to being the person you know and love because some of us do and some of us become even better people after we see ourselves threw your eyes
Maria: Remain calm as this too shall pass. Do your best to remember that they can't hold you forever and that you can't do anything about your situation while you are incarcerated.
Ashley: THAT IT IS VERY BORING AND NO MATTER IF YOU GET VISITS LETTERS OR PHONE CALLS.YOU ARE STILL ALONE.STAYING IN TOUCH IS VERY IMPORTANT TO SOMEONE WHO IS IN JAIL
Lindsay: Keep your head up. There will be a very long wait time in booking and in a holding cell. In booking, they will allow you to get three numbers from your phone. Do this wisely. Always have someone know you are in here.
Victor: Pray for their safety and speedy release. It's expensive and uncomfortable. Do not keep any of your letters where they can be read by other inmates. There are a lot of inmates here that try to phish for information used to steal identities.
Deborah: You only get two pairs of underwear for a week. Some of the staff are emotionally and verbally abusive. Most of the time if you stay out of trouble you will receive credit for good time.
Katherine: THAT ITS A REAL SAD PLACE TO BE, ITS EXTREAMLY DIRTY. THE FOOF IS NO GOOD AND YOU WILL WAIT FOREVER TO GET UPSTAIRS TO A BED.ITS JUST A LONG PROCESS

JM: If somebody knows they will be serving time in this jail what is your advice to them?
Adrian: fix your situation use the time to get back to being a positive person there is a better place for you on the out side you just have to get yourself there no one can do it for you dont fall into thinking this makes you hard or tough because it really makes you weak
Maria: Remain calm as this too shall pass. Do your best to remember that they can't hold you forever and that you can't do anything about your situation while you are incarcerated.
Ashley: JUST TO BECOME A TRUSTEE SO YOU HAVE MORE PRIVILEDGES.ALSO THAT YOU CAN GET A PENPAL AND ENTERTAIN YOURSELF WITH ANOTHER CRIMINAL BUT OF THE OPPOSITE SEX THROUGH WRITING LETTERS.PARTICIPATE IN AS MANY CLASSES AS YOU CAN
Lindsay: Like I said, keep your head up. Mind your own business, do what you are told, and always find something to do! Always remember, that this isn't the end of the world. They can't keep you there forever, and don't go insane.
Victor: Keep your mouth shut as much as possible. Do not trust other inmates with any information or anything they tell you. Most everyone there thinks they know everything about the law, they are all wrong.
Deborah: My advice to anyone spending time in this jail would be, keep to yourself, respect staff as if they were you parent. And get your family to put lots of money on your books cause comisary is twice a week and I feels like Christmas all the time.
Katherine: BEWARE, ITS DIRTY AND LONG PROCESS.THE FOOD IS PRETTY BAD. STAY TO YOPURSELF. JUST DO WHAT THEY SAY AND YOU WILL GET THRU THE PROCESS, ITS SLOW BUT SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
