JM: How many different blocks were there? James: Main jail has floors, I think 10. N. Broward has 8 blocks or sections,
and I don't know with Conte/Sheriffs North.
JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they? James: For instance I was on the fifth floor, so if I remember correctly it
was A5, B5,C5,D5.
JM: Which inmates were housed in the different blocks? James: There was Psych at E,F,H at N. Brow., GP in other sections. Main: 2
fl. brief holding, 4 fl. longer holding, 6 fl. violent, top floor extreme
violent/lock down.
JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks? James: It all sucks. Sheriffs North was cleanest, Conte was clean. The
Spiritual cell at Conte was the best dorm I was in (out of many).
Most of the deputies were a**holes (not all). Visitation was
horrible at Main, and N. Broward was filthy, had broken phones
and long waits. The commissary is such a scam: $19.00 for a
$4.00 radio, $16.00 for a 2x sweatshirt that cost $5.00 at Wal-
mart, $0.85 for a candy bar or 1 oz. bag of chips. No
condiments with the meals which are so small, that you have to
order commissary to fill up. $1.00 for a soup that at the
supermarket sells 6 for $1.00. The book carts seldom come
around.
