Sentencing

Interview with Harley and Ryan

JM: How long was your sentencing for?
Harley: I was held on a class e for 47 days , but I could bail out on a class d dui. The class e was a vcr and was a 10 dollar fine , and the dui was 650 dollars.
Ryan: i had a suspended sentence of 3 weeks from the guilty plea.

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?
Harley: I was in a holding cell for five days. It was a dirty mess people spit and bleed on the walls and someone had shit on the floor and was not cleaned up.
Ryan: I spent time in the holding cell after I turned myself in early to serve my sentence. My understanding is that you should be in holding no more than 36 hours. I was in the holding cell for 6 days. This cell is used to detox people before going to population. It's also used as a punishment to inmates in population to deter bad behavior. These cells are like solitary confinement. A bed a toilet and sink. A red like is always on. The entry lights are fluorescent and always on. You have no windows and no idea of the time of day or anything. It's a very tough place to be for that long. I was not asked if I'd like books or anything. Just dumped and forgotten. I have been fighting severe depression ever since that time.
