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.
