Interview with Lola, Eve and Pat

JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't.
Lola: Some were difficult. They were mostly loud and obnoxious, not mean or threatening.
Eve: Not at all. Most of them are okay. If you keep to yourself, you'll be fine. Don't get caught up in drama, talking about other people, etc. Everyone has a story. Most are probation violators for drug charges or couldn't pay fines or it's their first time.
Pat: no not really cause i have found if u stay to ur self u will not have ant problems and and if u never answer back to inmates or c,o's u will never have a problem but yes i have had some problems with some of the inmates but like i said u have to stay to ur self and not make friends

JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Lola: Just kept to myself in my cell. Skipped some meals as things were heated.
Eve: I wasn't disrespectful and I didn't act like I had an attitude. I would stay in my room and read books, or go out and watch t.v., and go outside when we had the chance and just walk around or lay in the grass (it was nice out).
Pat: ask to be changed,ask to go to 24 hr lockdown or go to my room and stay ther for days

JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change?
Lola: No, we were assigned cells.
Eve: No, but if you have problems with your cellmate, you can put in a note and they will most likely move you or them.
Pat: no
