JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't.
Christian: i was fortunate to be placed on a pod where everybody got along.in 90 days there was only three fights. few arguments the ither inmates new i was indigent as hell and would give me the food off there trays that they didint eat
Chris: No I'm a pretty mellow person so I didn't really talk to anyone.I pretty much stayed to myself played in my bed and tried to slepp the ten days I was sentenced to awayI did see other use inmates in altercations over the phone and what was being watched on TV.
Robert: I didn't have any problems with other inmates as I kept to myself as much as possible, it did get very aggravating listing to all the stories and loud noise in there
Terry: For my first 4 days I was kept in a room alone. So i did not have to deal with very many people at all. There were not calls, not shower breaks no nothing. Just food at meal time.
Diana: Some of the girls were rude and snobby and I got in a argument with one girl but other than that everyone was overall everyone was pretty easy to get along with.
Gina: I keep to myself. But there was a lot of fight going on around me .nobody got along a lot of screaming and name calling. I keep to myself due to there where a lot of girls that would sit around talk about when they got out how they where going to do ticks to get heroine
Cindy: yes it can be difficuklt there is alot of defferent personalities in one pod that you have to deal with i just stayed in my room and read books and stayed away from everyone

JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Christian: i was on a rally cool piod as far as the inmates go now there was acouple of c.o. that would try to starts problems with the inmates even try to provoke the inmates into fighting but as far as me avoiding fights was no problem but that was because of the attitudes of the other inmates
Chris: I pretty much stayed to myself and slept took showers went to rec where I just walked the yard and tried to stay out of trouble there were some inmates that would start fights just because the wanted to see if you were going to let them take advantage of you and stealing peoples commissary. Or talked ng smack to see if they could get you riled up.
Robert: well I was in there I didn't have much to say , I was shocked to be in there, so I just kept quiet an gave short answers to any questions people asked me, and I gave away some of my food cuase I didn't like it ,I just ate the apples an drinks
Terry: There were a few gangs in the facility but I avoided them. I pretty much tried to avoid everyone and just do what I had to do but I was informed I best start talking to others or it would cause trouble. So I just talked to the people the played chess and checkers mostly
Diana: I had to make sure not to judge anyone or to steal, lie, or eat anyone else's food. Also you need to stay to yourself and stay in your room and not go in anyone else's room and to stay quiet at night and to not to change the channel when people are watching TV.
Gina: I stayed my room and did a lot of reading I slept a lot didn't hang out with anyone keep to myself also got a job in laundry where I would work about 8 hours a day went to any meets or class they would have which wasn't a lot of
Cindy: i just stayed to myself so that i didnt have any confrontations with anyone. i read books and talked to my cell mate it just isnt worth getting into a fight with someone over a phone or a tv program. and it is so loud out in the day room

JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change?
Christian: i never got to choose my cell mate. i went through seven cell mates in the 90 period some went to a rehab one went to be deported two went the penetentery the rest were released
Chris: Queens gate was a dorm like facility with like eighty beds or so.so you weren't able to pick and choose where you slept or who was near you.inmates were coming and going on a daily basis
Robert: no you don't get to choose your inmates, cellmates would come an go everyday, I guess they all had different charges , I didn't know anyone in there anyway,sucked, time goes slow
Terry: No, once transferred you were in a dorm with 150 to 200 people each side and two officers. So you were assigned a bunk and there you stayed until the time you left.
Diana: No, I was not able to choose an inmate as my cellmate but i was lucky enough to have a funny crazy nice inmate. My cellmate never changed but a lot of other inmates had different inmates.
Gina: No u couldn't choose a cell mate and they would change sometimes everyday and then there would be times the cos would change you cause people wasn't getting along with one another
Cindy: no you are assigned a cell mate that they give you and it doesnt work for the most part. i just ask to change it if i did not like them.
