JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Ralph: you had bldg's 1 thru 22 i believe, depending on the crime thats how they seperate you
Rachel: I really don't remember , I believe they were numbered. Didn't really want to get to know the county jail that intimately, don't plan on going back.

JM: Which types of inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Ralph: you had the main jail which would house the more dangerous criminals and they would actually have cells, and others were divided up in pods
Rachel: Felons, violent crimes, misdemeanors

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Ralph: the work release was probably the nicest they had vending machines and two tv's
Rachel: The guards were on a power trip, if you were staggering to get out of bed and in to the food line when you got to the front, they wouldn't let you eat.
