Interview with James, Charles and Doug

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.
Charles: Not sure, detoxin in main. North Broward is easy: 114a__114c___114d____ | | | Women's section |(can hear women scream from ISO) |visitation | release | | ____________________ | | | |ISO | | Medical

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.
Charles: Preacher's Pod, 114a

JM: Which types of 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.
Charles: Flight risk and no phone privileges in broward. Gunclub didnt care much, our house man was a flight risk.

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.
Charles: Best thing bout broward is radio. Palm beach is food (3 warm a day, broward is 2 cold 1 hot) Worst part of gunclub is no radio. Broward also is 18 hour lock down. Gunclub you only see 19 hour lockdown in the box, which i laughed at. spend time in broward ISO and a box means nothing.
Doug: Asshole guards
