Passaic County Jail

Closing Advice

Interview with Brad


JM: Is there anything else you would want a friend or family member to know if they have a loved one going to jail?
Brad: If you know ahead of time that you are going to do time,try to save as much money as possible to buy commissary.....otherwise you are at the mercy of the jail. Try to mind your own business and keep all your personal possessions close and where you can see them, and what ever you do, dont get caught up with the changing of the television because that is where most fights start. Dont take nothing that doesnt belong to you.....even if an inmate offers it, because there is always strings attached.

JM: Is there anything else you would recommend to a future inmate?
Brad: Yes,dont go to jail!!! Many people use inmates to release their frustrations. most of the guards are not professional when it comes to the job and you could easily turn a short stay into an eternity.
