Transcript
JACKIE STRODE: My name is Jackie Strode. I am the jailer of Warren County. I've been the jailer of Warren County since November of 1994.
SPEAKER 1: Jeff Robbins, call on 1-2, Jeff Robbins, call on 1-2. [INAUDIBLE] anyone respond [INAUDIBLE] cells.
SPEAKER 2: [INAUDIBLE]
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
SPEAKER 1: Yes. Alcohol or drug-related.
JACKIE STRODE: I've had a deputy that was taken hostage. I've had deputies that were assaulted, that were cut, that were hurt seriously. You know, inmates will throw feces in your face. They will spit in your face. And they will tell you, they don't have anything to lose. They're looking at the rest of their life in jail or prison, and they could care less how they respect you.
We have a disciplinary process in place. And if someone is in disciplinary or if someone is on suicide watch, then they're checked every 15 minutes. Then once an hour we have to walk throughout the whole jail, and we visibly look into each cell. And we look to make sure that things appear to be normal. The largest dorm that we have is a 38-bed dorm. So that would be the largest area that we would have. But you use that classification system to put them in the correct area.
SPEAKER 2: Sure.
JACKIE STRODE: Meaning that you wouldn't put a shoplifter in with a rapist. The rec is done Monday through Friday. So there, if it's raining, they will get, if we have to just use the inside rec, then they would only get out their cell normally 30 minutes a day. If they get to go to outside, if it's pretty and we can use all the rec areas, then they would be outside of their cell 45 minutes a day. Now if we're having a church service or NA or AA or GED or Bible study or those types of things, then they would be out for that. Other than that, they will be in their cell. And we actually have inmates who don't attend any services. They actually stay in their cell 24/7.
SPEAKER 2: They prefer that?
JACKIE STRODE: They just, that's what you're used to and that's what they do.
