The jury is not supposed to talk to anyone, not family, friends, the media nor even fellow jurors, about the facts of the case until all of the evidence for both sides has been presented and the judge explains the applicable law to it. This prevents a jury from making a premature decision and prejudicing their objectivity. Otherwise, it can talk to anyone about anything else, unless it has been sequestered.
During deliberations, the jurors speak among themselves and discuss and debate the evidence and witness testimony and come to a reasoned conclusion on the verdict.
