Sentencing

Interview with Karl, Christine and Drew

JM: How long was your sentencing for?
Karl: I just had a hold for messing up my hold, until I did the drug counseling in there. I was in there between 3-4 weeks, close to a month. A little more than halfway through they got me into the program. I got kicked out because there wasn't enough room for me, and then I got shipped off to another jail. I was let out on the ankle bracelet for 3 months after I got out of jail.
Christine: 90 days suspended with 1year probation . Since I violated I got the full 90 days .
Drew: 10 Months with good time served 5 months

JM: Did you spend time in a holding cell after your sentencing? If so, what was that like? If you didn't where did they they take you instead?
Karl: When I first got arrested, I sat in booking for 2-3 hours because nobody knew I was there. Then after getting processed into the 3-4 hours before going to segregation to be classified, for between 12 and 24 hours. The holding cell is cold, you sit on the cement, no shoes, crowded, stinky. There is one toilet in there. They also have single holding cells also. 5-20 people in the group holding cell. I spent time in both because of overcrowding.
Christine: Yes, I spend time in the holding underneath the courthouse . It wasn't good . They left me there four hours by myself . It was cold and dirty . I just stayed in a corner , and didn't touch anything . It was depressing .
Drew: No Jail was overcrouded, Was in Seg on floor of pod. Was there for 3 days very stressfull because, since we had no cell we had to sit on mat on floor all day where only allowed to get up and walk twice a day for 30 min unless we needed restroom. After 3 days was moved to General population was there for 5 days then i was moved to school pod.
