Frank: We went to the gym twice a week there's hand ball basketball and lifting weights. In the block theres bible study, cards, chess you can draw, watch cable tv or workout.

JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce? Give details.
Ricky: well the only good thing was cable but when it came to rec we were skiped mostly all the days and was only to get sunlight 1 day a month this brought a lot of tenision to the block because the block was so small so we were up each asses all day
Frank: Whatever is on you watch mostly sports if you change the channel that usually will start a fight.
