Alisha Gilbert Day 2
Something that was different from the Nashua Street Jail and the Belknap County Jail was the guards and how the inmates interacted with eachother. The guard that we had at the County Jail seemed to care a lot more compared to the guard at the Nashua jail. The inmates at Belknap all seemed to be civil with each other, didn't get in many fights and they were a lot more laid back compared to the Boston one where they always got in fights, had their gangs and so on. I thought it was crazy how the Boston jail would handcuff people in the back of the car, putting 5 people together so that they have no movement what so ever. The two jails seemed like two completely different atmospheres based on what the inmates where doing and how they reacted. For example, when we walked into the Belknap jail, the inmates were playing card games and monopoly but at the Boston jail they were all in their cells, and I didn't see any card games around on the tables or anything.
