Interview with Bobby


JM: How many different blocks were there?
Bobby: I think there were 4, maybe 5. The blocks are arranged so you can't see into the other ones. The female block was next to mine.

JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Bobby: A, B, C, D

JM: Which inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Bobby: Other than male and female, I don't think there was any system. If an inmate had problems with another inmate, he'd be sent to a different block.

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Bobby: I think they were all about the same. In mine, I could see outside to the courtyard from the front, and had a window in my cell also.
