Interview with Stacy, Ron and Tom

JM: How long was your sentencing for?
Stacy: The judge sentenced me for two weeks (15 days)
Ron: I was not sentanced because the charges were dropped.
Tom: It was the three years of probation.

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?
Stacy: No when I checked myself in I went straight in the padded room alone, because I had attempted suicide a week before I had to check myself in. I had to sleep on a gross mattress on the floor with no blanket, sheet, pillow, nothing. I was not allowed toothbrush, razor, anything. had a toilet and thats all, they put my meals on the floor by the door. The front of the cell was glass or something so they could monitor you 24/7, and had cameras watching. I had to spend my first 3 days there before they moved me to a pod, but the pods were full so they had several women on the floors in the middle of the pod instead of cells.
Ron: I spent time in the general population, medium security pod. I was held there awaiting trial for 2 months. That is all. That is all. That is all. That is all.
Tom: No, I didn't. After being sentenced I went to another building to filled some forms, waited for a counselor, filled some more forms, as well as read the curfew restrictions, who to contact for my probation officer, and the fines to balanced.

Going to jail is never expected to be easy, but it doesn't have to be a complete shock. The more you learn about what you can expect from the experience, the more prepared and comfortable you can be throughout the process.
