Inmates
Interview with Brad
JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates?
Brad: I was housed with inmates who were unable to
contact loved ones because of the cost of a
collect call to philly(4.89 for the first min
then .89 cents per min).Many also had to do
State sentenced time as well, and our families
had to travel all the way from Philadelphia to
visit us for a half hour visit.So yes it was
very hard to keep the peace and befriend people.
JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Brad: I tried not to look at people who were visibly
frustrated. I stayed close to my bed and watched
television most of the day. I cleaned the unit
daily to stay out of the way and to tire myself
out. I didnt comment on things that didnt
pertain directly to me and I walked away from
those who wanted to fight.
JM: Were you able to choose an inmate if you knew one?
Brad: If you mean chose one to be on my unit, the
answer is No.We were not allowed to be placed
with friends.
