Leisure Time

Interview with Sam and Ron

JM: What types of facilities were available to help pass the time?
Sam: Television, chess and dominoes that is it and you had the gym every day except for weekends.
Ron: TV, scrabble, dominos, a really pathetic gym (it is jail so what do you expect?). Thats about it. Oh and the library but the book selection sucks; nothing but cheap romance novels.

JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce? Give details.
Sam: Well the television was ruled, I never touched it.
Ron: I didnt dare touch the TV without getting a basic survey of whether everyone was ok with it. Majority rules basically.

JM: Did you have a hard time staying in shape while in jail?
Sam: No, you have the gym plus you have nothing else to do but push ups and sit ups.
Ron: Wasnt really my goal to stay in shape. I just tried to pass the time quickly.

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?
Sam: Never outside.
Ron: Never.

JM: Did the jail offer church services? If so, what were they like and when were they held?
Sam: Church services were held everyday. But it was not like church, it is when a guy comes in to talk about God and the Bible.
Ron: Yes but I never partook.
