Gracie Day 2

The day in Boston was a memorable experience. As a group we were not only in the city but also  visited two very interesting places; the Nashua St. jail and the Court House. After having now visited the Boston jail and the Belknap County jail I have learned many things differentiating the two. When visiting the Boston jail, it seemed as if the inmates did not have a time at rest, they always were having to watch their backs and really being cautious with the decisions they made. At Belknap, this was not really an issue, the inmates were less worried and seemed to get along rather than fighting and jumping one another like the inmates in Boston. In the city jail, it also seemed as if the officers had no care for the inmates. Of course they had to be stern and serious however they had no relationship and trust toward the inmates. Overall the two jails had completely different environment that our group was able to see. Can't wait for the rest of the week!
