Sentencing

Interview with Lisa, Bill, Ron, Cindi and Holly

JM: How long was your sentencing for?
Lisa: I was sentenced to one weekend in jail, treatment through NW Treatment, and license suspension for 17 months due to the late December appearance. I wanted my license back so bad that I would have walked on water to get it. I have never drank alcohol and driven since that night. I drove a stake in when they took the breatholizer out of my truck that I would never again drink and drive. The breatholizer was the most important part of the treatment for me. It makes a person realize how often they think about having "just one beer." Hah!
Bill: 48-hours
Ron: 48 hrs jail. (Did 31 though, because of my failure to appears) GO TO COURT! 30 day license suspension. 262 dollar fine.
Cindi: 20 days, and 18 months post prison probabtion
Holly: 120 days and it was

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?
Lisa: No, the holding cell was the night I was arrested. I knew some of the officers (like my neighbor was there to greet me in the morning) and I don't remember waiting long at all to get to my new "room."
Bill: I spent about 6 hours in a holding cell, the drunk tank. It was a ~30x30 cement room with cement benches and a toilet/sink combo with a semi private barrier. There was no toilet paper. There were about 20 men being held for various offenses.
Ron: Yeah for about 8 hours. I was stressed the whole time...Are they going to forget about me??? Your not out till your out.
Cindi: I sat in the holding tank for a few hours before then housed me, the holding tank was way over crowded and quite loud. We were packed in there like sardines.
Holly: I was in a holding cell after the sentencing and it is awful and small and they left me in there for awhile. It is freezing cold in the cell and I was handcuffed on my hands and feet and it is very uncomfortable. There is a toilet and sink in the cell but there are also other women that come into the cell after their sentencing.
