Interview with Jon, Sabrina, Ronchie Boy, Gary, Lance, Seth, Liz, Nate, Duane and Aaron

JM: What else would you want a friend or family member to know if they have a loved one going to this jail?
Jon: The gaurds like to pick on you, hold your head up it aint forever. Get in where you fit in, dont gamble or run your mouth
Sabrina: GET OUT STAT and get a really good lawyer money should not be the issue. but just get out somehow and try your best to move on.
Ronchie Boy: Show respect to the inmates, they are just as miserable as you. respect the guards to. It's just easier that way. Try to get classified in 4 south B. Thats the easiest and best way to do time.
Gary: try not to accept collect calls they are so expensive try to arrange some sort of other corrispondence and may bee arrange a pre paid calling to lower phone bills
Lance: If you have someone you care about going to SNohomish County.. the best thing you could do for them is simply just put money in their Books... so they have the luxury to buy certain items that might make their stay there somewhat less of a nightmare experience...
Seth: i would tell them that they are going to be ok as long as they dont bite into the bs that everyone is trying to pass around they will be good. just follow the rules and everything will be smooth runnin. one important thing i would say is to tell them to do their best to make it to trustee.
Liz: to put money on there books,a bare min of ten dollars a week, life can be made just a little bearable with just a few things that most people take for granted, a cup of decaf,a pen to write with,shampoo tampons.
Nate: to write them as much as I possibly could to try and stay in contact as much as I possibly could because it gets very boring in there and get you get stuck in your head very often.
Duane: never say anything to anyone. friends are really not mostly. be patient, tolerate the problems others have. read lots of books. let the time pass one day at a time.
Aaron: put money on your books so you can order commissary items to make it more bearable! Wright letters and write often. Getting letters from loved ones and friends keeps you going! Watch out for C.O. Crumline. He is an ASS! All the other C.O.s are okay.

JM: If somebody knows they will be serving time in this jail what is your advice to them?
Jon: eat every meal.
Sabrina: sorry
Ronchie Boy: There's no need to be an ass in there. Everyone in there is already pissed anyways. You're not there to do their time, you're there to do yours then get the hell out. Respect goes a long way in there so don't step on anybodies toes.
Gary: get your medical health in order try to limit what ever meds you need to take do not expect any maedical care while your there especcialy dental limmit how much money you bring with you they will find a way to get it from you and remeber this is a for profit jail!!!
Lance: Bring 3 extra white t-shirts (no pockets)... 3 pairs of underwear... 2 pairs of socks... and if you're gonna be there during fall or winter.. you gotta bring a white thermal and some longjohns because you will be cold ALL the time.. and you wont be able to sleep due to the freezing conditions...
Seth: if someone knows they will be serving time in this jail my advice is stay out of trouble so you can go to trustee so you can eat good and workout.
Liz: if you are turning yourself in, bring clean white underpants,they do not provide them for you, money for commissary and don't listen to other inmate for advice,just your att. don't try to make friends there,you don't know who will take advantage of you.don't try and take anything in with you your not suppose to have, they will prosecute you.
Nate: to fix yourself get into reading books get into playing cards um really just stick by yourself really you know think about your future after jail beacuse you still have a life.
Duane: never leave sb4. or is it 4sb? no matter what program like trusty or work release do not do it. stay there. it is the best place you can be in snoco.
Aaron: just do your time, learn the routine, don't get caught up in the drama, try to better yourself (I read a 700 page novel) and don't get caught up in the recidivism of many of the inmates. Some of the C.O.s love to yell and shout but don't take it personally. There was always someone who would get out of line and the C.O.s would focus on them. I just kept my mouth shut when it was necessary. DON'T COMMUNICATE WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX. That will get you jammed up big time!

JM: Please list any other jail or rehab facilities you have been to.
Gary: none
Lance: First time in Jail... and Last...
