JM: If somebody knows they will be serving time in this jail what is your advice to them?
Mary: do your time smartly. be careful. make friends not enemies. realize that it will be over sooner than you realize.
D Bo: You need to send someone to the hospitol the first time someone disrespects you because if you dont you will be robbed and taken advantage of the whole time your in there.

Trevor: bring some thermal underwear and try to bargain for books with other inmates because it's really the only way to pass the time, also one should push to have some sort of phone card
