JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Jake: I hate the place and have blocked it out my mind. Nothing is nice about jail
misty: THE DEPUTYS DEPENDING ON WHO WAS WORKING SOME WERE NICER THAN OTHERS, ALSO BEING ALLOWED TO HAVE A SINGLE CELL VS A JOIND ONE
Sam: They all looked the same but some were cleaner than others. The hole was colder and no recreation of any sort.
