Interview with Cami and Tombstone

JM: How often could you receive visitors?
Cami: Once a week on Saturdays.
Tombstone: 2 times a week,your last name would be what they would go by,,my wife only came twice a wk

JM: Was the check-in process lengthy for those who came to see you?
Cami: Not really unless they waited till the last minute to come see me.
Tombstone: Yes,my wife hated it,& I hated she had to go thru it,but if you saw your family at all;you just had to choke down the embarrassment...

JM: What was the visiting environment like?
Cami: It was a thick glass separating you and your visitor with a phone to talk to them on through the glass.
Tombstone: Like you see in movies,little niches that had glass on both sides,& you have to talk thru a telephone.,you only have about 10 spots for a entire floor,& your time in there is very short
