Bunkbeds SUCK especially as an adult. They are super damn uncomfortable and the climb up and down is a total pain in the ass especially in the middle of the night for a restroom visit. I have to keep my sneakers up there with me and put them on whenever I go up and down since the round bars you balance on are small and hard to manuever up on without slipping.
Every room at Carswell has a set of 2 bunkbeds for a total of 4 places to sleep. Upon arrival, you will be assigned an upper bunk. You need to have a medical reason to receive a bottom bunk as they are at a premium. The reasons vary though since I cannot figure out why one of my roommates has a bottom bunk except she's fat when other inmates I have spoken with need them so much more. Two quick examples of people who are begging for a bottom bunk: This inmate is on SEIZURE medication and is prone to go into seizing episodes - Carswell gave her a bottom bunk but then denied the renewal.
I heard her ask medical staff, what they want her to do if she seizes in the upper bunk - the reply was "I don't have an answer for you." She left in tears. Second inmate requesting a bottom bunk said a metal rod in her leg BROKE and she is ON the list for SURGERY and she still has an upper bunk. WTF??? Essentially she has a broken leg, but she still needs to climb up the ladder just to sleep???
