Interview with Reggie and Sarah

JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't.
Reggie: I didn't really have any problems. Wake county jail gives you a classification basd upon your charge, gang affliation, and things of that nature
Sarah: Absolutely. I'm a friendly sort, and the other ladies were very angry, bitter, and hostile. The guards were my only contact, and they were rude, promise you something then don't, and spend a lot of time down the hall laughing and telling jokes with each other until the Lieutenant came by. The guards' language was pretty foul. I came out swearing, which I eventually learned to curb, and with a bitter chip on my shoulder and mistrust of others I have not forgotten.

JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Reggie: You can stay to yourself or stay out of cliques
Sarah: While in the holding cell, I sat quietly and moved away when my space was challeged. I tried to keep my eyes down and pretend to be napping. Other than that, I was in solitary the whole time.

JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change?
Reggie: no you are in a dorm environment or there are 1 man cells
Sarah: No cellmate, would love to have had company. I was kept in solitary after I was strip searched, my but-hole checked, and dressed in jail clothes.
