Lake County Jail

Leisure Time

Interview with Bee


JM: What types of facilities were available to help pass the time?
Bee: I stayed in my cell and read all day. I would also exercise in there.

JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce?
Bee: Competition was very very fierce. Not fierce as in you wanted to fight but as in there are a ton of women with 1 tv, 2 packs of cards and 1 container of dominoes.

JM: Did you have a hard time staying in shape while in jail?
Bee: No because you never really eat except for commissary which I didn't have any money for so I easily stayed in shape.

JM: How often did you get to go outside?
Bee: I never went outside!! Some county jails let you outside?????

JM: Did the jail offer church services? If so, what were they like and when were they held?
Bee: They offered church services. They were on Sunday and only for the Christians. Actually the church didn't even hold it now that I think about it. It was a volunteer Christian church from Chicago Mount something.
