Sentencing

Interview with Kyle, Randy, Tyler, Dave and Melissa

JM: How long was your sentencing for?
Kyle: I got 2 years because I had actually run from the police. (The judge originally only wanted to give me 1 year)
Randy: WAS FORCED TO PLEAD GUILTY TO ABOVE OR FACE FELONY THREATS. WAS SENTENCED TO TIME SERVED OF 58 DAYS AND 2 YEARS PROBATION.
Tyler: As of right now no sentance has issued in my case.
Dave: I RECEIVED TIME SERVED FOR 45 DAYS AND A TWO YEAR PROBATION
Melissa: No sentence.

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?
Kyle: Yes. All of us who were sentenced would be taken to the same holding cell. Some already incarcerated and some off the streets. It was crowded and cold. The cells were always cold. There we would sit for hours waiting to be classified again. No food.
Randy: AFTER SENTENCING I WAS IN A HOLDING CELL AND IT WAS FREEZING IN THERE! IT WAS WITH ALL THE OTHER INMATES WHO HAD BEEN SENTENCED. IT HAD A TOILET OPEN IN THE CORNER AND HAD A CONCRETE SLAB AS A BENCH TO SIT ON AGAINST THE WALLS.
Tyler: I was only in a holding cell prior to be sent to the county jail which was at least 5 hours I believe it was to see if I would say something that could be used against at a further time but I never did.
Dave: WE WERE IN A HOLDING CELL BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER SENTENCING. IT WAS A LARGE ROOM THAT WAS FREEZING, AND IT JUST HAD THE CONCRETE BENCHES ALONG THE WALL TO SIT ON
Melissa: I was not sentenced. The only holding cell I was in was for intake, which was relatively clean. Each one had a TV that you could change the channel and volume of. There were about 6 people in each cell. We were given "Brown Bag" lunches with the Roll, "Meat", and Orange, along with a packaged drink. Before you are placed in the Holding Cell, you are strip searched. But that allows them to leave the cell doors open and keeps it safer all around.
