Interview with Eric, Bonnie, Jerome, Big Kim and Josh
JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't. Eric: No,most of them are petty criminals or just
stupid kids that made mistakes. Plus when I was
a juvenile I did spend quite a bit of time in
juvenile facilities so I can walk the walk if I
have to. Bonnie: Yes, they had a black woman who fought with me
and picked on me. We got into a scuffle. I had to
defend myself with a mop handle I was using to
clean with broken in half. Jerome: NO Big Kim: In general no, like other said mind your own
business....
But H*ll yes, I was taken to the Hole more than once..
One needs to remember they are elbow to elbow with
many people of different cultures, intelligence
and mental impairments...If someone keeps on
pushing you, fight them if it comes to that, most
fights rarely last over 30 seconds then the guards
are on top of it.. and then you will have your own
personal cell isolated form troublemakers... Josh: no i spent mst of my time reading anything i
could get my hands on or playing games
JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates? Eric: Nothing,mind your business and it'll be ok I
promise. Bonnie: Try to get along and bite my tongue when wanting
to argue back with others. Jerome: MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS Big Kim: Mind your own business, befriend others who are
not queer.. Josh: nothing specal i guess
JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change? Eric: NO Bonnie: Yes. Jerome: NO Josh: i didnt know anyone going in
