Interview with Mary
JM: How many different blocks were there?
Mary: There were 3 blocks that I am aware of. I do
think
there may have been more, maybe a place for
harder
criminals, but I do know that there were at
least 3.
JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Mary: Inmates just called them block 1, block 2, and
block 3. We didn't have any specific names for
them.
JM: Which inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Mary: I'm not sure about the other blocks, but on our
blocks we were "non threatening" inmates -
meaning, we were in there for things like failure
to pay child support, writing bad checks, etc.
JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Mary: the nicest were the officers. they treated us
well, were nice to us, and they respected us as
long as we didn't cause any problems. the worst
parts were the food. it was horrible. most of it
tasted like those extremely cheap tv dinners.
