Closing Advice

Interview with Will

JM: What else would you want a friend or family member to know if they have a loved one going to this jail?
Will: That this jail is not as bad as others, and as long as their loved one minds their own business and keeps to themselves, that they shouldn't really have a problem.

JM: If somebody knows they will be serving time in this jail what is your advice to them?
Will: To try to get into a program. They offer mini business courses and the GED program, of which I was a teacher's aid. The main reason for programming is that it breaks up the monotony of being stuck on a cell block every day. Beyond that, the units have cameras on them so they don't have to worry about serious violence being inflicted upon them. And fights happen, just try to stay away from the basketball court and the TV when there are disputes, which is often. Don't gamble. Don't take drugs. Don't join a gang. Leave the cops alone. And don't worry too much about theft due to the way the cell blocks are ran and the rooms are locked down at all times.

JM: Please list any other jail or rehab facilities you have been to.
Will: Sussex County Jail, NJ. Annandale Prison, NJ. Sonyea Prison, NY.
