Closing Advice

Interview with Toby, J. Friday, Jeremy, Lisa and Jenny

JM: What else would you want a friend or family member to know if they have a loved one going to this jail?
Toby: tell them to visit often and send him money for canteen.
J. Friday: Good luck. Just hope he makes it on the road crew.
Jeremy: That it isnt as bad as what you see on TV or the movies.
Lisa: Make sure that they send letters and scedule visits because inmates need those the most while in there.
Jenny: some jails allow you to take in certain items. If you can take something in with you, the less you have to pay for commissary. Otherwise, make sure they have enough money each week to buy the items needed.

JM: If somebody knows they will be serving time in this jail what is your advice to them?
Toby: keep to yourself and stay out of trouble, make use of available programs like AA, NA ect. read.
J. Friday: Smoke em if you got em bro!
Jeremy: Yeah. Stay out of trouble when you get out so you never have to return again!
Lisa: Don't get involved in any drama and just keep to yourself. Time is easier that way.
Jenny: Yes, just don't be stupid. We all know what is right and wrong. Make the right choices and you never have to be in those places. They are not fun, nor is it cool. And don't take probation. It is a set up. Do the time and be done with it. If you're on probation and have a drug problem, more and likely, you'll keep going back. Remember your freedom. Nobody or nothing is worth that.

JM: Please list any other jail or rehab facilities you have been to.
Jenny: I have been to Tuscaloosa county jail, Levy county jail, Alachua county jail, and Bridgehouse drug rehabilitation(in Alachua county)
