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?
Milles: i did spend about 15 hours in a holding cell. it was awful.i was held in a small cell with about ten to twelve other inmates. there was everyone from drunks to violent criminals in with me.i was a little bit afraid. there was one toilet / sink combo and no toilet paper. the floors were cement and the walls were all made of cinder blocks. there was a bench around 2 sides of the cell that were made of cement. it was cold, and it smelled like sewage.
Preston: Oh, yeah I sat in the holding tank for 12-hours, it was cold, there were no staff to supervise us so if I was attacked then there wouldn`t of been anyone to stop the violence. inmates were smoking cigarettes and crack cocaine.
Lauren: Yes. The holdong cells are scary if you are alone because there are no windows and it scared me to think that i could be forgotten about and be stuck in there for days.
Rosa: Yes I spent time in a holding cell along with other inmates. It was how jail is, just a bunch of people trying to act hard and talk about their case
Dallas: After my sentencing, I did spend time in a holding cell until I was transported back for hours. I was with other inmates waiting to be transferred to the jail as well
