Interview with Wyatt and Erica

JM: How many different blocks were there?
Wyatt: Butler County had 7 different blocks.
Erica: Im not sure I was on the womens block there was only one

JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Wyatt: The blocks were just lettered from A to G for a total of 7. Each block had a different population.
Erica: My block was the B pod. the other ones were male pods and had different letter

JM: Which types of inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Wyatt: G block was the female block. E and F held mostly convicted rapists and pediphiles. They never seemed to leave their block, for fear of getting beat up by other inmates. Rapists and pedophiles are considered the lowest class of inmates by the others. Even guards treated them differently than other inmates. Block A, B, C, and D were general population male blocks.
Erica: all the women were housed together it didn't matter about the crime. they had the max out females on one wall but we all shared the same pod and socialized together

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Wyatt: All of the blocks were equally uncomfortable. The entire prison was filthy and old. There was dust and cobwebs eberywhere, so it seemed like people were always sick and spreading germs in such tight spaces. It was not air conditioned, so the entire building just stunk of urine, and body odor. The water in the showers was always ice cold, and the mattresses in the cells are paperthin. The only half decent thing about the blocks I lived in, were the TV rooms. The inmates would get together on certain evenings and watch their programs together.
Erica: there was only one block and nothing about it was nice. we were locked down all the time it was annoying and it was not good. the worst part I would say would be being locked in a cell. the best part was it was kinda new so the jail was pretty clean
