JM: How long was your sentencing for? mitchell: 9 month county jail Stewart: 3 yrs of probation and complete a.r.t. program

which took about 30 days
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? mitchell: yes it was terrible i mean you r already
traumatized from the sentence and seeing the
hurt in your families eyes now you got to go to
the holding tank that smells like urine n crap
and then b handcuffed n shackled to get in a van
if i was going to run why did i go to court Stewart: was held in a holding cell after sentencing. a
cell about 16 by 24 with about 28 other people,
it was freezing cold and smelled of urine and
when they brought lunch they opened the door and
threw brown bags in with 2 rancid meat sandwiches Adam: the only time I spent in a hoding cell was befor
court on the second court date they took me down
to the holding cell around 530 am and court
didn't start till 9. It was about 12 by 15
cinderblock room with one cinderblock bench the
stretched long ways in the room... most of that
time there were about twenty of us in there with
most sitting on floor...F Jeffrey: yes I was in a holding cell for 3 hours after
sentencing which was ridiculous because the judge
released me on probation and I feel at that time
I should have been released from court Brent: yes spent about 4 hours in the holding cell after
sentencing. it was filthy, the toilet did not
work there was no place to sit because of being
so crowded Daryll: I was put in a holding cell after court for about
3 hours after court and it was dirty with trash
all over the floor, ice cold, no place to sit,
and the toilet did not work
