Sentencing

Interview with Jake, misty, Sam, Bruce and Brian

JM: How long was your sentencing for?
Jake: ^ months
misty: I HAD 2 CONSECUTIVE 6 MONTH SENTENCES AND I REQUESTED THEM TO SENTENCE ME CONSECUTIVE TO ALLOW ME TIME TO GO TO THE TX DORM
Sam: I took a deal and got sentenced the same day. It was for 6 months. All the major charges were dropped and it was a fail situation for all. I asked for a turn-myself-in date for a week later.
Bruce: I was released on own recognizance when I got sentenced.
Brian: I was charged with 180 days of jail time. After 30 days of good behavior, I was transferred to a community corrections center where I was allowed to leave for work and alcohol/drug therapy so long as I continued to exhibit good behavior (which I did until my release).

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?
Jake: Yes it was packed and over crowed about 30 of us in one cell for atleast a day.
misty: YES, IT SEEMED LIKE TO LONG ITS COLD AND THE CONCRETE IS UNCOMFORTABLE
Sam: When I turned myself in I stayed in a holding cell for a day before they got me all situated. I was in there with like 30 other people. Two meals (A SANDWICH AND A COOKIE), NO BLANKETS,and I didn't get my phone call until the next day. They kept moving us to different cells.
Bruce: Crowded, hot, stinky, boring, disgusting, and annoying.
Brian: I went from the court room to an intake vestibule, then into a holding cell before my intake examimation (including medical interview, strip search and fitting for a uniform), then spent two days in the "sorting pod" before getting classified as a low-risk inmate with no gang affiliations, later joining general population before transferring to the community corrections center.
