JM: How long was your sentencing for? Sam: I was in jail for 90 days waiting for a bed to
open in rehab. Ron: I received first offender felony probation
although that's currently in the process of being
revoked because I was re-arrested on another class
4 felony narcotics possession. Scott: I was sentenced to 3 years in the Illinois
Department of Corrections where they transferred me
to Taylorville Correctional 2 days after pleading
guilty. Michael: I was sentenced to 14 days in Dupage County Jail,
and to 24 months of probation. They always cut the
actual sentence time in half that the judge hands
down so that meant 7 days needed to be served. I
only had to serve 5 days because they needed to
release me due to overcrowding problems. The
probation period was still for 24 months. Bruce: i was in du page for 6 monthes and my charges
carried 1 to 3

freezing because it is cold and meals suck. Ron: Nope. I received probation. Scott: After being sentenced your no longer jailed with
general population. They put you in a jail pod with
current sentenced inmates waiting to be transferred
or deported to other institutions. Michael: No, i was sentenced on 06/02/2007 and was free to go
home after sentencing. I had to return to Dupage
County Jail on 07/27/07 by 6:00 pm to begin my
sentence of 7 days. Bruce: since i used drugs i was in a holding cell were i
