Leisure Time

Interview with Zach and E

JM: What types of facilities were available to help pass the time?
Zach: They had a day room with play cards and board games it also had 2 tvs with cable or it was a very small area for you to workout if u wanted other than that there was not much to do to pass time other than going to sleep in your cell
E: pushups/situps on the floor. dips on the sinks. basketball in the gym or you could run. water bags could be made when bags were obtained and ok guard is on shift. also, you could put on sneakers and fight in the bathroom---always nice to go to the hole for rec.

JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce? Give details.
Zach: It was always a race to get to tvs so most inmates just say and talked or would rather to play cards to past time I choose to work out with my time because the more work I did on my body the more time was going by I try to stay away from TV and games
E: it's BET year there, you didn't know???

JM: Did you have a hard time staying in shape while in jail?
Zach: Staying in shape in jail was rosier than staying in shape while at home because you are so board that working out is an outlet
E: naw---food is small and terrible, so if you work out order pork rinds (17 grams of protein for .80$- -tuna has same amount and costs 2.65$)

JM: How often did you get to go outside? What did you do outside if you were allowed to? If you were not allowed to go outside what could you do for exercise?
Zach: Outside rec was not really outside it is a small section that is surrounded by the building it has the roof cut off that's as close to outside as you get
E: outside--never, i played basketball. the outer yard is a concrete triangle.

JM: Did the jail offer church services? If so, what were they like and when were they held?
Zach: They had several church services from catholic to Christian and even Muslim services they had a choir and all to help people out spiritually
E: yes, thats where you can see ppl from other blocks and get contraband passed...
