Interview with Robert and Amanda

JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't.
Robert: I kept to myself but slept in an area because I worked in the kitchen, where inmates they cans at me at nite because Ibhad sleep apnea and my snoring kept them awake.
Amanda: I did not have any trouble with any of the inmates. I stayed to myself and followed the guards directions. Along of the younger girls came to me for advice and also for comfort if there was a situation at home that was effecting them in negative way.

JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Robert: I kept to myself, got involved with an older group and played cards but spent a lot of time in the kitchen prepping and serving meals so I avoided any major conflicts. The work release area I was in did not really see any major fighting or outbreaks of violence.
Amanda: I really didn't get into any problems. It seemed that a lot of the girls argued over belongings, commissary or phone time. I stayed to myself and had all my own hygiene supplies- so there was never any question about those things. In addition- if there was any disruption on the block- I locked in my cell to avoid it every time.

JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change?
Robert: Before going to work release I spent one week in a cell with two other men who I did not pick. In work release there were 6 of us in a cubby who worked the kitchen.
Amanda: No- I never chose an inmate to be my cellie. It seemed that about every three weeks a girl would be sent to my cell who needed some behavioral modification,.. I never was threatened by the constant change though.s
