Interview with Timmy, Michael and Lindsay

JM: How many different blocks were there?
Timmy: I don't honestly know. Frost proof is massive. There are maybe 50 pods housing up to 70 inmates. They are not all in use. Annex has about 6 dorms. Each has way too many inmates for what it was designed for.
Michael: not sure. think 5 or 6
Lindsay: 5_6

JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Timmy: I don't remember the names.
Michael: no. but where i was was called the special needs unit or s.n.u.
Lindsay: M,N,O,Q,R

JM: Which types of inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Timmy: There are maximum security dorms at Frostproof but they only differ from the rest in the number of total inmates they hold. Max dorms are half size. There is a protective custody dorm and a max dorm at the annex but they are are small 2 man cells.
Michael: different security levels im sure
Lindsay: All poor peopleyes

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Timmy: Best: Frostproof. Frostproof, has large and spacious dorms. Ample shower facilities. A toilet in every 2 man cell. More telephones. 2 televisions. Worst: Annex. It is a hell hole. The only saving grace is that it is temporary.
Michael: worst part. first 2 nights. was in a cell with 2 others,had to sleep on a blanket on the floor.wasnt allowed any clothes (inmate could use clothing to try to kill themselves!) light on 24 hrs. a day! food was horrible. wouldnt feed a dog that slop.
