Interview with Micah


JM: How many different blocks were there?
Micah: On the hall I was on there were at least 5. All of them holding about 45 woman.

JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Micah: Down my hall the blocks were named by CB (cell block) CB 20, CB 19 and so on.

JM: Which inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Micah: The federal inmates had their own block until for some reason they put them in my block. The trustees had their own block. The rest were just regular inmates. Most of which were waiting to pull chain.

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Micah: I never left my cell block. CB 20. The blocks that I could see were all the same.
