Counselling)
JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks? Freya: The annex was like a dorm that you couldn't
leave--room doors were usually not locked, lots
of tv, reading and card and board games. Food
was ok for institutional food. Jen: Do you really think there is anything nice about
jail? Cathy: There's nothing "nice" about being in jail!
But, I met some nice women and some of the COs
were awesome..friendly, helpful and they really
cared.
Worst parts were the noise, sleeping with the
lights on, the poor excuse for a "mattress" (1-
inch thick foam mat) and the food..yuck!
