I pleaded guilty of one which was assaulting one of fic e r, tu t I was found guilty on a ll three charges. LYNN: Do you feel that the court appointed attorney hin dered o r aided you in per spective with comprehension of due process of law. CHERYL: No, in fact, he told me that I would have a better chance if 1 were white, so I may as well plead guilty. LYNN: Your experiences at Term inal Island Federal In stitution is s till indistinct to various readers. E x p lic itly could you give some rapport on this. CHERYL: I kept to m yself. I didn’t go around other in mates. I only had a couple of acquaintances. I watched everyone. I didn’ t trust any one too much. The incident while in p ri son that affects my life is being raped. I had seen the man tefore while serving him a cup of coffee. I worked as a waitress there. One thing which is pecular was that I received a $5JX) tip from this man lo r the coffee. Then later, 1 went to get some ice by myself, which I look upon suspiciously. LYNN: What in p a rticular was suplcious to you? CHERYL: The matrons us ually are watching every move we make, txit that day no one seemed to follow me o r pay any attention to my whereabouts. In conclusion, I was raped In the cafeteria, and now I'm pregnant. LYNN: Why didn't you report this immediately? CHERYL: I didn't think they would do anything about it. I remember where one g irl was pregnant and wanted an abor tion. No one did anything about it, so she committed suicide. LYNN: How would you de scribe the institution make up and the inmates? CHERYL: I describe it as a mental instituion, except you don't re a lly get any help. They make everyone think that they ere going to be helped, but they don't have any in tentions of doing anything. They said they were going to teach you how to live, to better yourself. Most of the in mates are drug addicts, pros titutes o r homosexuals. The matrons, one in particular, are sick because of drinking a ll the tim e. The women are hostile; always at each others' throats, fighting over triv ia l m a tte rs . The doctors wouldn’ t serve you when you needed them. LYNN: Was this consistent? CHERYL: Yes, the doctors would experiment with the prisoners before they would treat the public with what ever type of project they were working on. LYNN: Do you plan to keep the child. CHERYL: Yes.
