Interview with Milles


JM: How many different blocks were there?
Milles: I'm not sure how many blocks there were. i was in what i think was d block so i assume they were on an alphabetical system of some sort.

JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Milles: I'm not sure but like i said i think it was alphabetical a-b-c-d-e.....

JM: Which inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Milles: I'm not sure but i assume they kept real violent offenders in a different block.

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Milles: i was only in one block so im not sure but i did a little stretch at clackamas county jail and i remember the big difference was that multnomah county was on a twenty three hour lockdown where as clackamas was on a 12 hour lockdown. so i spent far less time in my cell at clackamas. it was awful to be in your cell twenty three hours.
