Closing Advice

Interview with Cyle, Caesar, Liz, Samuel, Nick and Teresa

JM: What else would you want a friend or family member to know if they have a loved one going to this jail?
Cyle: To bring in a book for your loved one, and a sweater!
Caesar: It's not bad at all. The worst thing is the food and the time away from your family. As long as you kept to yourself, there was no problems, most everyone just wanted to do their time and get out. That was the case in the new pods, and as a trusee. At least that was my case.
Liz: Go and visit, and write, and put money on their books!
Samuel: Cigs white socks and boxers can be taken in it's cold in holding so dress warm and take some Tylenol pm it's hard to sleep on concrete
Nick: I would want them to know to just stay quiet, stay respectful, use the most boring time to exercise, lay, or sleep, or pray and maybe find one or two people to talk to
Teresa: I would want a friend or family member to know before going to this jail to have money on their account for snacks as the food is aweful and to get the family and friends to write them to give them something to do.

JM: If somebody knows they will be serving time in this jail what is your advice to them?
Cyle: Never get arrested!!!!
Caesar: I was told (by my lawyer) that I would become a trustee as soon as i got processed in. That is not always the case. It took me almost 2 weeks to become one. Once your in jail, start putting in a request daily.
Liz: ask for trustee, if you can do outdoor, bring a couple white tees, socks, underwear, and you can bring as many unopened packs of smokes as you can carry.
Nick: Try to stay clean the best you can as you can and will get very sick because it is so unbelievable dirty in the whole jail. Stay quiet and be respectful
Teresa: I would say keep your nose clean, your head down, and be very respectful to the staff even if they are not respectful to you, and try to sleep as much as possible to pass the time.

JM: Please list any other jail or rehab facilities you have been to.
Nick: I have been to dallas county jail too
Teresa: none
