JM: How many different blocks were there? Drew: There were ten different blocks. Matt: Im not sure how many blocks there are, but I know
there is Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Fox, G, and X.
JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they? Drew: A,b,c,d,e,f,g,x,medical,and booking,as well as
juvenile housing units they are different levels of
security. Matt: Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Fox, G and X are all
the names I believe.
JM: Which types of inmates were housed in the different blocks? Drew: Dangerous inmate violent and such were housed in
seg. units like c pod maximum security 23 hour
lockdown. B-3 and B-4 are supermax 24 lockdown.and
d, e or f block house inmates are mentally ill or
protective custody inmates. Matt: Bravo was generally the calmer inmates, Delta was
for those in need of Psychiatric help and
supervision, Fox was for the Federal inmates, G
was for those gang related, and X was higher
security inmates.
JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks? Drew: D-2 which is mental health is very helpful now to
inmates with mental illness. Which in 2002 and
2003 when I was there it was only medium security
for semi violent offendrs and I had a thief
stealing from my cellmate. Luckily I was hired
and moved to G-3 Inmate worker position in the
kitchen. B-2 was also rampant with thievery so I
was also not fond of B or D at the time of my
incarceration.
Matt: I was only housed in Bravo, so I can only comment
on that. But everyone in it acted pretty calm as
long as the inmate or individual followed pod
rules, and kept up after himself. There was hardly
any fights and if there were they took place in
the showers, and business was handled. The worst
was that its a very tight places and its over
crowded, with all beds filled, and boats on the
floor, and even bunks out of the cells and in the
pod itself.
