JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Ryan: OVERCROWDED
Alex: I was only in receiving and 3D. Oh, it was VERY noisy most of the time. 10:00 lights out but you couldn't fall asleep because of everyone whispering and talking. Then when you do fall asleep, 4:30 am breakfast. 4:30!!!! Then they expect you to go back to sleep until at least 7. It's crazy. Most of the fights happen in the bathroom because the guard cant really see in there unless he's away from his desk, so you try to hurry in the bathroom so you don't get in the middle of something. The only decent thing is they do have private showers and for the most part, the guards are ok.
George: GETTING OUT, TO MANY LOUD MOUTHS
