Interview with Jessica, Joe Smith and Rod

JM: What types of facilities were available to help pass the time?
Jessica: I BELIEVE THEY HAD BOARD GAMES TO PLAY AND A RADIO TO LISTEN TO.
Joe Smith: books, the TV was limited and there was a little area of concrete you could walk around in.
Rod: NOTHING they always came up with a reason it wasnt going to happen

JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce? Give details.
Jessica: I HAD REGULAR ACCESS TO EVERYTHING IN MY AREA.
Joe Smith: The TV was limited because you weren't out of your cells for very long.
Rod: no access to anything unless staff directed

JM: Did you have a hard time staying in shape while in jail?
Jessica: NO, NOT AT ALL.
Joe Smith: Yes because there wasn't much to do and you spent most of your time in your cell.
Rod: Only because they said i could not walk so fast or i would have to go in my cell

JM: How often did you get to go outside? What did you do outside if you were allowed to? If you were not allowed to go outside what could you do for exercise?
Jessica: WE NEVER GOT TO GO OUTSIDE.
Joe Smith: Never
Rod: none

JM: Did the jail offer church services? If so, what were they like and when were they held?
Jessica: NOT SURE. I DID NOT ASK ABOUT CHURCH, AS I DO NOT GO.
Joe Smith: They claimed to but I never saw any actually occur.
Rod: unknown if it was on a flier i didnt know when church services were. probably because I didnt read that part
