Closing Advice

Interview with Kathy, Cameron, Norm, Arturo and Isidra

JM: What else would you want a friend or family member to know if they have a loved one going to this jail?
Kathy: That they need to accept collect clls as that is a way for them to communicate, also for them to put money into their account so they can buy other things they may need or what
Cameron: we all make mistakes and people need support it's good to know you have someone on the outside that cares for you and about what your going through if these people think you don't have no one they will try to treat you any old way
Norm: It is important to get money and send extra clothing into the inmate as soon as possible. It allows the inmate to get settled and buy the basics need to get through the time. Also, it is best to go to the jail as a sentenced inmate, avoid being an unsentenced inmate awaiting trial or sentencing at all costs.
Arturo: that it will cost them a lot of money to live comfortable while at this facility, letters and visits do a lot to help inmates get through the days of bordom
Isidra: Stay out of jail. I have heard too many stories about peopke dying by the hands of a officer. They will set you up lie on you and swear on their grave that your tge liar. They pkay favoritism towards certain people. They are neglectful. Their disrespectful.. man its not the place to be

JM: If somebody knows they will be serving time in this jail what is your advice to them?
Kathy: Be of good behaviour, stay clean out of trouble, help others when you can it goes a long way, try to stay busy most of the time as time will fly by
Cameron: remember the most important thing is to do your time and get on with your life don't feed into these officers they WILL put their hands on you and the inmates are no better
Norm: Think of good books or magazines to help pass the time. Its only county jail so don't make it more or get involved with the nonsense that others try. Do your short time and get free.
Arturo: to prepare your financial standing and mentally prepare your self for a very unpleasant experience you will have way too much time to think and if you are not ready you will have a ruff time
Isidra: Stay to yourself. Im not saying don't concregate and talk but im saying be smart don't allow other peoples problem become yours.
