Leisure Time

Interview with Hakstiff and Rebecca

JM: What types of facilities were available to help pass the time?
Hakstiff: WALKS
Rebecca: There was a T.V, but we all had to share it and agree on one channel. No cable of course. Just basic T.V. Of course it was nothing but Jerry Springer and Maury half of the time. Sometimes children's cartoons. I'm not a T.V person so I would just write.

JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce? Give details.
Rebecca: The competition was fierce. They would fight over the remote. I would just write as much as I can in the Hudson County Corrections Center guide book. Any spot that didn't have written ink, I would use to jot down my thoughts. I figured it was more productive than fighting over a remote control.

JM: Did you have a hard time staying in shape while in jail?
Hakstiff: YES
Rebecca: I actually lost a few pounds those few days. I did not eat anything but crackers. I only drank milk because I did not even trust the water. It looked straight form the Hudson River.

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?
Hakstiff: NEVER IN THE COUNTY JAIL EVERYDAY IN PRISON
Rebecca: I did not go outside at all the time I was there. I heard after some time you can gain that privilege. most use that time to lift weights.

JM: Did the jail offer church services? If so, what were they like and when were they held?
Hakstiff: YES I DON'T GO TO CHURCH
Rebecca: They offered a bible but not church services. It seemed like nobody would even touch it. It was a beat up bible on the corner of the room.
