Interview with Tyler and Brooke

JM: How many different blocks were there?
Tyler: They had 3 stories. I think they are able to hold 1200 and they had 1800 in there. They were two man cells. Maybe around 30 guys or so in each pod.
Brooke: There is 21 units

JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Tyler: They went by the alphabet.
Brooke: I been in C3K and C4O

JM: Which types of inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Tyler: Oh no... when you first get there you go into overflow. To some extent they do try ot seperte the misdemeanors from the felony but it never really works out.
Brooke: People with misdemeanors or waiting on general sessions then they put you together

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Tyler: The nicest part? To be honest I can't remember anything nice to be honest with you. I had to sleep on floor and use my blanket for a pillow. It was so overcrowded.
