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?
April: Yes I was on a holding cell, they take you underground from the jail to the courthouse. I wasn't excited because I knew I wasn't leaving the day of my sentencing due to having to go to another jail because of a detainer.
Julie: No. I was already serving 60 days work release and walked out and went to work. It was maybe 3 days before the first was up and that sentence began.
Brenda: No holding cell. I went directly back to the pod. I was then put on a suicide watch for 3 days because I couldn't stop crying. They checked me every 15 minutes.
Cesar: i went to the holding cell and automatically everyone started speaking to about what had happen in court . then after 5 minutes they opened the door called me out handed me a pass and sent me back to population ....
Eddie: I was taken to a holding cell after sentencing. I waited there for about 30 minutes then I was transferred back to my assigned pod and cell. That is where I spent the remainder of my sentence.
