Sentencing

Interview with Bee, Anthony and Clarence

JM: How long was your sentencing for?
Bee: I got 1 year probation, almost $2,000 in court cost, 50 hours public service and cheated out of a good record for the rest of my life.
Anthony: i was sentenced to 6 months of periodic imprisonment either house arrest or work release and i served 2 months on house arrest and then without being ptr'd was told to come in and was thrown in work release 2 days before christmas and spent a week in there and then was brought to the jail and finished the remainder of my time in the jail
Clarence: 6 months. I tried to get only probation, but was unsuccessful.

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?
Bee: I spent time in a holding cell prior to getting sentenced. I was in there for two days. It was winter and there was no heat on. I had to sleep on the floor with 5 other girls. Two of the girls were herione addicts so by the first night you could smell the drugs coming out their pores. They were wining and sick.
Anthony: i spent a day in a holding cell before i was brought over to the jail it sucked but there is nothing nice about jail whether its a holding cell or a real jail cell
Clarence: Yes, but only while I was waiting to be processed, which was about 3 hours. It wasn't pleasant, as I was with mostly gangbangers who wanted to strut their "authority". The trick is to keep to yourself & ignore them.
