Interview with Jack, Jerry and Sarah


JM: How many different blocks were there?
Jack: I think 8 if I am not mistaken....
Jerry: very many. The tower has at least 5 on each of the 4 floors and then the old jail has at least 10-12 also.
Sarah: 3 for females, more for males

JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Jack: C pod through J Pod.
Jerry: yes. A - J for the old jail and 1B thru 1U for the towers
Sarah: Yes females were Lpod, Ipod and Apod. Guys were like Mopd, Jpod and Kpod and a few others

JM: Which inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Jack: Girls are in different pods. J pod is for trouble makers and hard felons.
Jerry: everybody is housed together. You may be in there for a traffic violation and have a murderer or sexual offender as your roommate
Sarah: Jpod was for the hardened criminals and felons. Apod for girls were for mostly pregnant or sick inmates. When I was attacked I was sent there.

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Jack: Nothen was nice the officers an guards are awful... The holding cell was the worst part trying to get processed.
Jerry: The cell blocks in the towers are the nicest part of the jail. The A thru J blocks are located in the old jail and are very dirty and very overcrowded compared to the cell blocks in the new tower.
Sarah: Nothing was nice, except maybe Ms. K she was amazing! She wasn't like any other guards, she actually had a heart.
