Interview with Jennifer, Robert, Kathleen, Holly, Damon and Wade
JM: How long was your sentencing for? Jennifer: I served 3 weeks in jail and all together for
all the charges I served around 2-3 months in
jail. I'm currently doing weekends.
Robert: I got found guilty of it they gave me 2 months
in jail. I appealed it and got out of jail and
then went infront of another judge and was found
not guilty. Kathleen: 18 months but I ended up only doing 90 days out of the 18
months Holly: My sentance was 6 months but she suspended 5 months and 20
days. Damon: 1 year and a half of probation although I spent
almost 7 months in the facility. you take a bunch of
alpha males Wade: No sentence was given, instead an 18 month
supervised probation period was handed alongside
the probation before judgement decision.
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? Jennifer: Yes I spent time in a holding cell afterwards. I
was in the holding cell for about 2-3 hours
waiting for everyones court to be done. It is
very cold in the holding cell and very dirty.
the bench is little so not alot of people can
sit on them and sometimes you have to sit on the
dirty floor. Robert: yes I spent time in the holding cell afterwards.
they had no seats in there and they didnt give
me any food until I got to the jail. it was also
crowded and dirty. Kathleen: Yes I did and I wasn't in the holding cell very long. As soon
as I got processed and gave up all my belongings I got put in
a holding cell for no longer then an hour then I was put into
the escort wagon. Holly: Yes I did spend time in a holding cell after sentancing until they
could transport me to jail it was crazy I was in the cell for hours I
had to wait till court was over to go I was sentanced at 11 so from
then till like 8p.m I was in the holding cell no food no water
nothing.and it smelled like urine I was the only female it was hell. Damon: I spent alot of time in holding cells. they're dark
, dirty , uncomfortable and crowded. a holding g
cell is your worst idea of jail , you and 15 pissed
off strangers all locked in 1 big cell. Wade: Again, my time spent in a cell was for VOP which
was technically after what is traditionally
considered sentencing, but at the same time I was
not conventionally sentenced to anything. But
sitting in a jil cell for a full day was very
disturbing when being arrested for a driving
related crime, as someone with no prior record it
was extremely disenfranchising to face the
possibility of being held without bail on such
charges.
