EXPERIENCE WITH NO AIR CONDITIONING AT TIMES. ON
PURPOSE FROM GUARDS BECAUSE THEY THINK IT IS
HUMUROUS Borata: yes, horrible, was handcuffed for asking for
toiled paper for 24 hours. Martinez is a
BIYATTTCCCCCCCcHHHHHHHHHHhh. Quite trifling, I
might add!!!!!!!!!!!! Keith: After being sentenced I was taken back to the
basement of the court to the holding tanks, where
I waited til the court closed and the county
buses came back to pick up the inmates. Jon: I was in a number of holding cells during the
process. The first was a large holding cell, then
I was booked and placed in a very small cell all
to myself, I believe because I was classified as
gay and take a daily prescription drug. I was in
this closet sized cell for about 6 hours. I was
then handcuffed, taken in a bus to Twin Towers
Correctional Facility (from the downtown criminal
courthouse). I was shuffled around from cell to
cell, where I never knew what time it was (this is
a constant). I was taken to a medical wing to see
a number of nurses and doctors because of the
prescription drug. Then after about 14 hours since
surrender was taken to a cell block with other
inmates listed in the medical wing, classified as
homosexual. Acer: F*k yah nonstop tanks n then they moved me to a diff
dorm which was all sentenced people waiting to go to prison
. If u weren't here u just go back to ur bunk. It was cool
everyone was glad to finally get the court over with and
know they're fate instead of not knowing and thinking of all
the possibilities. Plus we got to bounce from that bullsh*t
county jail and get to kick back in prison Taz: Was already in custody so went back to LA County
Jail. Will: Right after you get sentenced, you get placed back in a holding cell
until everyone is completely finished. This process could take
hours. Then you get hand cufffed and chained with your group of
people and go into a bus James: After every court date you always wait in a
holding cell. The holding cells are usually
about 25 square feet and you wait with about 15
to 25 other individuals.
