Dane County Jail

Inmates

Interview with Todd


JM: Did you find it difficult to get along with other inmates?
Todd: There were some ethnic problems. Misunderstandings were rampant.

JM: What types of things did you have to do to avoid problems or fights with other inmates?
Todd: I always had a choice, to step aside or stare down inmates I had problems with.

JM: Were you able to choose an inmate if you knew one?
Todd: Yes. Ethnic groups tended to stay with their own kind. People did mix, but there were clearly divisions.
