Inmates

Interview with Tim, Adrian, Maria, Ashley, Lindsay, Victor, Deborah and Katherine

JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't.
Tim: No. They either wanted to be my best friend or were afraid of me, due to my ex being a judge and clearly responsible for this conspiracy and manipulated of the court system.
Adrian: no I stayed to myself because all the other hoes would sit and traid stories about there pimps and how much money they make and really convinced them selves that it was the best life. I never liked it I felt dirty ashamed and the guilt of it all is what kept me in it I thought no one would ever or could ever love me after all that I did. that was so wronge just another trick those so called men or should I say spineless men called pimps used.
Maria: I didn't have any specific problems with any inmates. I think once you're placed in that environment most people know they need to get along with everyone so the other prisoners are all reasonably polite.
Ashley: NO I GOT ALONG WITH EVERYONE.I AM JUST A FRIENDLY PERSON.PLUS THE VIOLENT INMATES ARE SEPERATED FROM THE REGULAR POPULATION OF PEOPLE..IM ALSO NOT IN A GANG OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.IM NOT THERE TO GET MORE CHARGES.
Lindsay: At first I thought it would be a bit difficult due to all of the rumors you hear about, or what you see on television. The other inmates just saw how upset and scared I was (it was THAT obvious), so they talked to me, saying that everything was going to be okay. When I got to NVC, there was one girl in particular that said awful things about everyone and caused drama, but I paid no attention. It is better to mind your own business.
Victor: Yes, I received several letters from my domestic partner of 10 years, these letters were found and read by other inmates. After they found out I am gay they threaten to beat me up, kill and rape me. I was eventually placed into protective custody and those that threatened me were given additional time for their actions.
Deborah: No. Not really. Most of them were nice. It was kinda lime having support from all your roommates cause its 64 women to a module and your all kinda in the same situation. But some of them were bullies and bossy.
Katherine: NO I HAD NO PROBLEM WITH OTHERS .I JUST STAYED TO MYSELF.I DONT LIKE TALKING TO OTHERS THERE IS ALWAYS ALOT OF DRAMA WITH OTHER PEOPLE SO I HAD NOTHING TO SAY.

JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Tim: Mind my own business.
Adrian: just stayed to myself
Maria: You have to be OK with other inmates who have fallen asleep leaning against you and touching you. It doesn't make sense but while in holding I could see that some holding cells were empty while ours was overcrowded to the point of women sitting and laying on the floor.
Ashley: I DIDNT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING.NO ONE IN THERE WAS STARTING FIGHTS WITH ANY OF THE GIRLS AT LEAST.I WAS IN A HAPPY MODULE I GUESS.THERE WAS ALL TYPES OF RACES TOO AND WE ALL GOT A LONG LIKE A BIG HAPPY FAMILY.WE ALL WANTED TO JUST GET HOME TO OUR FAMILIES AND OUR BEDS
Lindsay: As stated in the above question, I avoided a lot of the drama. In the detention center, they offer books to read (99% crime-related), but it was something to do. I did my own thing, was careful about who I hung out with, which made my stay a little better even though I was home sick.
Victor: I had to stand my ground and eventually I had to report threats to my safety to the Corrections Officers. After that I was placed into protective custody where I was in a private cell. It wasn't hard to avoid problems and fights after that because I was removed from general population.
Deborah: I would always try to respect who was around me. If I felt like someone was causing problems or breaking rules I would keep my distance from them. I also became a worker three days after being in there. And you can't get in trouble if your a worker. A lot of the women would get sent to the hole and come back and talk about it and I didnt ever wanna go there so thinking of the hole kept me straight and in line.
Katherine: WELL FIRST OFF WHEN PUT IN A HOLDING CELL YOU HAVE TO SEE WERE YOU CAN SQUEZE IN TO SIT SOMETIMES THERE IS NO ROOM ON A BENCH SO YOU HAVE TO SIT ON THE DIRTY FLOOR . THEN IF YOU WANT TO USE THE PHONE YOU WAIT IN LINE OR JUST DONT USE IT.

JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change?
Tim: No. Henderson kept me isolated. CCDC was only one night.
Adrian: no
Maria: No, you are allowed absolutely no choice in cell mates and they change either because an inmate needs to be moved because of a conflict, because an inmate was transferred to "the hole" because of bad behavior, or because a prisoner was released.
Ashley: I DIDNT HAVE A CELL.THATS NORTH TOWER THATS FOR THE VIOLENT OFFENDERS.I WAS IN A BIG OPEN ROOM WITH LIKE 70 OTHER GIRLS.I DIDNT LIKE IT AT ALL.AT LEAST WHEN YOURE IN A CELL YOU CAN SLEEP WHEN YOU WANT TO.YOU HAVE PRIVACY WHEN YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM.BEING AROUND THAT MANY GIRLS CAN DRIVE YOU NUTS
Lindsay: We weren't in a cell, we had a number of units, eight per unit and we slept in bunk beds. I didn't get to choose mine because we were all assigned by the C.O. I had very cool bunkies (what we called them), so I was lucky. Mine changed about once every two weeks. As a unit we would hang out and talk about our lives on "the outs."
Victor: No, I was not able to choose any of my cellmates. While I was in a shared cell the cellmates would be changed once maybe twice a week, depending on population demands I suppose. After I was placed in Protective Custody I was alone.
Deborah: We were actually I'm a Module. There are 64 beds in between shelfs which also act as dividers. At the least 3 to four women would either get out or transfered in a day. We were never allowed to choose who we are neighbors with.
Katherine: NO WAS NOT ABLE TO CHOOSE YOUR CELLMATE. THE ONE THAT I HAD STAYED THERE THE HOLE TIME. I GUESS SHE WAS WAITING TO GO TO PRISON. I WAS RELEASED SOON AFTER.
