Interview with Harry and Qtip

JM: How many different blocks were there?
Harry: A pod through Z pod. There is also the infirmary.
Qtip: Im Not Sure I was In the l pod and there was l1-L6

JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Harry: As stated before they are alphabetically named.
Qtip: l1 l2 l3 l4 l5 l6

JM: Which inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Harry: Felons were housed in certain pods and misdemeanors in other pods. M-1 pod was where everyone goes first until you are tested for TB and other diseases. Then you are moved to whatever pod they have available. These inmates are ones doing time, and are a little bit more intimidating.
Qtip: Men and the dangerous criminals

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Harry: The nicest part about the pod is when you get sleep. I never could really get good sleep due to the fact you are awaken every 6 hours for a head count. You must get out of bed and stand up, get counted and then you are able to lie back down. The worst would probably be the showers and toilets. M pod was pretty nasty as it is mainly people getting off dope and/or sobering up. Once moved to another pod the inmates are a little cleaner and try to keep the facilities cleaner. Still it is absolutely nasty. You must wear your sandals at all times. There is no telling what you might catch barefoot. Sandals are a must in the shower.
Qtip: I was only in L3 and it was pretty easy going except when the inmates got into fights
