Sentencing

Interview with Jen, Kelsey, Charlize and Cody

JM: How long was your sentencing for?
Jen: 120 day to county jail
Kelsey: Like I said earlier, you start off doing probation and then programs...then I started getting 30 days and it took me from the 80's until the late 90's when I got 3 years. I was an extremely lucky criminal.... it sure wasn't being smart!
Charlize: Never got to see a judge i was later released three days later because D.A. never filed charges. I was being held against my will
Cody: My sentencing was suspended under Prop. 36 as it was a non- violent drug offense. I was given Drug Court (Later reduced to Recovery Court) with the agreement that should I fail to complete my program, I would likely do 2-3 years with half time in Bob Wiley's.

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?
Jen: No, but I did spend it in the time in a holding cell when I was first arrested. The cells are filthy, and the sack lunches are horrible. You can't eat the sandwiches; the meat is bad, usually, and the cheese is dry and hard. Most of the time if an emergency came up there was no one around to assist. I don't know where the cops were. I just know there was no one around.
Kelsey: Waiting........ and more waiting. From the holding cell at the jail you're housed at, to the downtown jails.... to the courthouse holding cells. Waiting.... that's how we end up getting in even more trouble! You have an opportunity to see other people and opposite sex! You tend to do things to occupy your time!
Charlize: no
Cody: No I did not. They took me pretty much straight back to Pre-Trial to wait for my release paperwork to finish going through the system, which took several hours to do.
