Salt Lake County Jail

Inmates

Interview with Mickey, Nate and Anne


JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates?
Mickey: Some, not all.
Nate: No. The only hard thing was some of the inmates coming off drugs or alcohol.
Anne: I was so depressed and feeling out of my element, the females I talked to were older 45-50ish ladies who were only walking during the time out of the cell

JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Mickey: I avoided saying things in an abrupt manner, I made friends quickly, and avoided confrontation.
Nate: I just kept to myself and stayed out of the jail drama.
Anne: I put up with two lesbian lovers being in the same pod.. and one of them a 'leader'. giving them ample time to 'sign' to each other, walk by and flash nudity to each other (and in the process be subjected to this embarrassing chain of events.

JM: Were you able to choose an inmate if you knew one?
Mickey: No.
Nate: No.
Anne: I was finally rolled in toward nine o'clock at night. I have ran into three girls I was in with and they are doing great.
