JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce?
Eric: They had board games that where what you might find in a second-hand store,most of them were out of date and in poor condition.When I asked one of the guards why the games looked the way they did he told me it was because that was all we deserved.And that they came tht way!
Bonnie: Fierce competition. Usually did not have a chance to choose anything. Jail was always overcrowded and I and some of my friends had to sleep on the floor sometimes.
Jerome: COULD NEVER HEAR THE TV
Big Kim: Tv, books, yes, tv competition is feirce and leads to many fights, unless your into sports, don't get thrown into a "sports tank" if you do, tell a guard you "need a change of tank before it leads to a fight because of differences with others".usually they will move you to avoid any possible conflict..
