Interview with Jorge and Laura

JM: What types of facilities were available to help pass the time?
Jorge: Well lets see....we had cards and t.v. ypu thats about it.
Laura: TV. If the weather is good you get to go outside during the morning for an hour. This means walking around in circles in a chain link fence area. Yay.

JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce? Give details.
Jorge: The mexicans pretty much ran everything there so I didnt have any problem gaining acces to whatever I wanted to do.
Laura: There was no competition for entertainment. There was one TV. the majority ruled. If we were lucky and had a guard bring in a movie, we at least got to watch something new.

JM: Did you have a hard time staying in shape while in jail?
Jorge: Nope O just did push ups and sit ups at my convienience.
Laura: No, the food is horrible so you don't exactly gorge yourself. Lots of up and down stairs to get to your room and back.

JM: How often did you get to go outside? What did you do outside if you were allowed to? If you were not allowed to go outside what could you do for exercise?
Jorge: THe day I was reliesed was the only time that I got to go outside.
Laura: Once per day if the weather was agreeable.

JM: Did the jail offer church services? If so, what were they like and when were they held?
Jorge: Yes I believe that they did offer church services several times a week but I cant tell you what they were like because I never attended any of them.
Laura: Yes. They were weird, and heaven for bid if you were some other religion than what came that day. I am catholic and no options were offered for me.
