Closing Advice

Interview with Girliegirl, Paul and Tyler

JM: What else would you want a friend or family member to know if they have a loved one going to this jail?
Girliegirl: SEND your family or loved ones money orders so they can buy their own soap, clothes or just anything they might need.
Paul: Do the time instead of paying the fine!!!! Jail is easy!!!! you get 3 meals a roof over your head and more than likely you will be a trustee!!!
Tyler: It seemed safe. I never felt threatened. Once you understand the routine, the time goes by easily without stress. Inmates like to get mail.

JM: If somebody knows they will be serving time in this jail what is your advice to them?
Girliegirl: Mind your own business...you don't have any friends in jail.
Paul: Jail is easy dont be so worried about it!!!
