JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
pete: Open showers whenever we needed one and we had washers and dryers
Jake: They seemed to all be moldy wreckage. It wasn't pleasant.
Billy: well jail is jail there was nothing nice about it.The worst part I think there was about being in a-100 is the mildew and the overall filth that consumed the shower and toilet area.
Kara: pods were noisy, disruptive and the guards were always angry in there smaller manned tanks were quieter, more private, able to actually spend time reading and concentrating, less tension and the guards in that area were more respectful and calmer
