Sentencing

Interview with Hillary, Tye, Eva, Richard and Victor

JM: How long was your sentencing for?
Hillary: My probation officer put out a warrant for each of my charges... I was in jail for 21 days and then bailed out. My bail was $5000 for each charge. I am still waiting to be sentenced.
Tye: 2 yrs department of correcions
Eva: 4 years dept of corrections
Richard: I was not sentence on that charge but spent 15 months in the county for it fighting the case.
Victor: 4 years deferred sentence on 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?
Hillary: Yes, in booking. I actually enjoyed being in the holding cell there. There was a bench I could lay down and go to sleep. If I would have stayed in booking, I would have had to just sit on a hard metal chair.
Tye: yes they held me and up to 30 people in a hol;ding cell that was 10 by 20 in the basement of the court house with out food until you return to your facility.
Eva: yes, it was hot and smelled there was 12 of us in the holding area when we asked for toilet paper or even pads we were put off for long periods of time and then treated like we were inconciencing them for having to get the items we needed to use the rest room..they expected us to hold our urine for the 6 hour transport holding time
Richard: Was never ultimately sentence, but yes ive spent so much time in holding cells its ridiculous just a hard room with nothing but a toilet sometimes not even. and you cant do nothing and stuck in literally at most 20ft by 8ft and thats at most
Victor: Yes i hat to sit on a hard surface not knowing i you are really going to court. one day my court was set for 8 and I didn't get called to come til 9.30
