Interview with Ryan and SoccerMom

JM: How many different blocks were there?
Ryan: there are 6 floors and each one has a cellblock lettered A-N I think. I was on the 3rd floor so there was A-H. But think the 2nd floor has more. They have the lock down tanks.
SoccerMom: In 1200 on the 4th floor we had A,B,C,D,E,F,H, J (seg), K,L,M,N,P. I believe that is all of them. I was a "floor worker" on that floor so had exposure to all the "pods".

JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
SoccerMom: they were by the letter & then they had sections w/in the letters i.e. A pod has 4 sections such as A1A,A1B, A2A, A2B. J pod is the segregation cells where they are in constant lockdown except rec. or medical - or court & they are escorted in shackles to any of those events. K-P are individual cells, mostly for medical & trustees.

JM: Which types of inmates were housed in the different blocks?
SoccerMom: Most of the 4th floor is GP. There are certain cells i.e. H2 that house aggrivated inmates. J pod has the ones on trial for murder, or that are there for serious offenses i.e. sex abuse of children & such. There are a couple of "baby tanks" for those under 21. E has one & I think A pod has one too. There is a section in one of the pods (D I think?) for "New Choices" & they have medical, education & trustees in the K-M tanks.

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Ryan: The jailers were overall nice to me. I just did my time and thats it. I am on bond right now.
SoccerMom: Some of the pods were cleaner than others. The baby tanks were the nastiest usually. The trustee tanks tended to stay fairly clean.
