Raymond: 2 days in Santa Clara. It was like the rest of them. Filthy.
Brenda: yes I spent a few hours in a holding cell. I was nervous and relieved at the same time. I was nervous because I was going to prison . I was relieved because i didn't get as much time as they offered me.
Reta: I was in Santa Clara for six months before my trial and went right back for another six months.
Ronnie: I was part of South County so they would take you in the early morning whether your trial was in the afternoon or morning. I was waiting there way too long.
Germz: it was very stressful. i was going to prison for nine years of my life. i had to sit there and listen to all the stories about what to do and what not to do
Jimmy: I had to wait for hours in a holding cell in the basement of the courthouse with some other inmates. It was dark, filthy with a TV playing some idiotic movie.
