Yeah, I live in MA and got shipped to the hills of PA...that was a Godsend, real easy-going white COs who didn't fuck too much with us.
My co-defendant did 6 months in the joint Epstein was in, said it was horrifying. Black COs who tormented white inmates, freezing cold, bad food, rats and bugs.
All luck of the draw...I was lucky.

Have you talked to the guy about Epstein being able to hang himself in there? When I was in the jail someone hung themselves in medical. The girl pushed a ceiling tile to the side and wrapped a bedsheet around a pipe and then jumped off the top bunk. That was in a room where they isolate people for mental issues or quarantine.
I spent a year and some change at the jail waiting to go to prison. When winter time came around the homeless people ended up in the jail. I guess they would do petty crimes to get locked up for a few months and get out the cold. This homeless guy that was put in our pod came in there with scabies and some crazy flu virus. There was only one washer and dryer in the pod for 120 people so it took about a week and everyone in the pod got scabies. The flu virus the guy had also spread thru the pod from the guy touching everything and using the phones. Everyone in the pod was complaining about it but medical kept acting like nothing was wrong with anyone. I guess the jail was worried about people trying to sue them. By the time they did something about it I was covered in scabies and I had some crazy homeless bioweapon flu virus that I thought was going to kill me. They put me in a room in medical for two months until the scabies got cleared up. All my clothes got taken away so I wouldn’t recontaminate myself, no bedsheets, I couldn’t use the phone or write anything because I could spread the scabies to someone else. I had to sit in a freezing cold room, completely naked for two months and every couple days they would give me this medicine cream that I had to cover myself with head to toe to kill the scabies. I think it was called permethrin. I remember it didn’t work very well and the doctor told me that the scabies were probably resistant to it. They ended up giving me some pills after a while. Oh, and I was sick from some homeless dudes crazy flu virus at the same time. I’ve never had the flu and thought it was gonna kill me. Nothing I had to deal with in prison was as bad as that experience. The worst off of us got sent to medical and then the jail ended up having to quarantine the whole pod because everyone got it and they couldn’t fit everyone in the medical unit.

I was in a SHU cell for a few days waiting for space in gen-pop. Truthfully, it could be done...bunk bed that you could have tied a sheet-noose to.
