Sentencing

Interview with Tom, Sonja, Kurt and Marshall

JM: How long was your sentencing for?
Tom: I was 3 months in Hennepin waiting for the sentence then was sent to six months at workhouse for the guilty plea.
Sonja: I was arrested October 2011 and it's September 2013. So far almost 2 years.
Kurt: 3 years probation, 17 days in workhouse, 16 days on house arrest
Marshall: Given the first 2 months to take the original charges to trial, then out for exaclt 7 days, sat in that particular counties jail for 3 weeks, then was extradited back to the downtown Hennepin county facility for 3 more weeks, an additional 3 in the workhouse then 2 more weeks downtown to handle the probation violations.. So all in all i served 162 days, with credit for 162 day with 18 months prison-time over my head for the next 5 years (until mid-2017)...

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?
Tom: I was at Brooklyn Park. They bring you there for what they call PC or proabable cause hearing. Must have been waiting there for a day and half. Pretty uncomfortable.
Sonja: After I had court and the judge released me from custody, I was still at the jail for about 8 hours waiting in a holding cell for my "paperwork to be done" so they would let me out to go home.
Kurt: 17 days workhouse,,locked in a cell 20 hours a day, i took naps, exercised in my cell and read alot of books to help pass the time, and had some money for personal food
Marshall: After sentencing the only holding cells I really seen were waiting for transports to various other counties to deal with probation violations in their respective jurisdictions as well as Hennepin county's probation violations against me and then to be released.
