Interview with Cami, Tombstone, Strawberry and Tonya
JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates? Please give examples to explain why you did or didn't.
Cami: Yeah, I found that women are very moody and
temperamental, especially when their freedom has
been taken away because of there own stupidity. I
found that staying to myself for the most part
kept me away from conflict for the most part. I
wasn't there to make any friends, therefore I didn't.
Tombstone: Yes, there are some rough ass people in a County
lock-up; you have to be real careful not to
disrespect anyone;there were 4 fights in the pod I
was in,in a 3-month span.
Strawberry: well that all actually depends on your roommates
and your attitude...i kept to myself the first
month...then as they got to know me they warmed
up and i was accepted into a crew.
Tonya: No
JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Cami: I had to set my schedule for the day according to
how late the other roommates slept in my pod, if
they were up late I would be up late to because of
the noise, and if they slept in late I would
either sleep in late myself or get out of my pod
and go to the dayroom where all the other inmates
would watch tv and stuff.
Tombstone: Stick to yourself,you`ll see the troublemakers
right off,& try to avoid them unless you want more
time added to you; you also have to really watch
out for some of the Deputies,they are rougher than
some of the Cons,I saw one drag a young guy down a
flight of stairs,feet-first,hitting his head on
each step.
Strawberry: Watch my mouth and my actions...and just try to
stay out of peoples way.
Tonya: Stay to myself
JM: Were you able to choose an inmate as your cellmate if you knew one? How often would your cellmate(s) change?
Cami: No, they do not give you any choice in who your
roommates at all, you are just stuck with whoever
you get, unless there is a conflict between two
individuals, than they will move you to a
different sector.
Tombstone: No, they place you by whatever space is
available,its really over-crowded there,I had to
sleep on the floor on a mattress..
Strawberry: NO!
Tonya: No

The officers at the Jefferson County Jail are very cruel. I had to spend over 48 hours in there because my own son revoked a bond for a charge that ended up being false in the first place. I have had cancer surgery to remove a 13cm sarcoma from my left chest wall which included removal of four left ribs, part of my left lung, part of my sternum, etc. I took my medications with me to the jail, but they would not give me any of my medicatons. I also wear glasses and they took them and I could not even see the code they gave me to use the telephone to contact family, help, etc. When I was released, three bottles of my medication were missing and my glasses were never given back to me. There was no compassion from any of the police officers, the jail physician and even other inmates were very cruel when I was in misery and crying for help. Nobody cared.
