Interview with Neal

JM: What types of facilities were available to help pass the time?
Neal: JUST THE DAYROOM TO WATCH TV AND READ NEWSPAPERS, AND PLAYING CARDS. THERE IS NO OTHER PLACE INMATES CAN GO TO DO ANYTHING EXCEPT GETTING THEIR HAIR CUT.THAT JAIL DOESN,T TRUST ANY INMATE THEIR INCLUDING THE TRUSTEES THEY GOT THERE TO DELIVER FRESH CLOTHES, SHEETS, BLANKETS, AND ANYTHING ELSE THEY NEED.

JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce? Give details.
Neal: THE ONLY ENTERTAINMENT WE HAD ACCESS TO WAS ONLY A TV. THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT WAS ALLOWED IN EACH CELLBLOCK.THE JOHNSTON COUNTY JAIL IS THE TOUGHESS JAIL I HAVE BEEN IN, ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAD TO DO 30 DAYS AS PART OF MY PLEA DEAL. I WAS MADE A TRUSTEE AND HAD TO SWEEP, AND MOP FLOORS ALL OVER THE JAIL.

JM: Did you have a hard time staying in shape while in jail?
Neal: NO BECAUSE THEY DON,T FEED YOU ENOUGH IN THERE. I LOST WEIGHT WHEN I WAS THERE AND WHEN I GOT OUT I WAS 10 POUNDS LIGHTER.

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?
Neal: NEVER, INMATES AT THE JOHNSTON COUNTY JAIL NEVER GOES OUTSIDE AT ALL. THEY DON,T HAVE A PLACE TO LET INMATES GO OUTSIDE. THE JAIL IS IN MIDDLE OF A TOWN.

JM: Did the jail offer church services? If so, what were they like and when were they held?
Neal: YES, A PREACHER COMES EVERY SUNDAY TO PREACHA SERMON, AND PRAY WITH THE INMATES AND SAVE THEM IF THEY WANTED IT
