JM: How long was your sentencing for? Jake: ^ months misty: I HAD 2 CONSECUTIVE 6 MONTH SENTENCES AND I
REQUESTED THEM TO SENTENCE ME CONSECUTIVE TO
ALLOW ME TIME TO GO TO THE TX DORM Sam: I took a deal and got sentenced the same day. It
was for 6 months. All the major charges were
dropped and it was a fail situation for all. I
asked for a turn-myself-in date for a week later. Bruce: I was released on own recognizance when I got
sentenced. Brian: I was charged with 180 days of jail time. After 30
days of good behavior, I was transferred to a
community corrections center where I was allowed to
leave for work and alcohol/drug therapy so long as I
continued to exhibit good behavior (which I did
until my release).
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? Jake: Yes it was packed and over crowed about 30 of us
in one cell for atleast a day. misty: YES, IT SEEMED LIKE TO LONG ITS COLD AND THE
CONCRETE IS UNCOMFORTABLE Sam: When I turned myself in I stayed in a holding
cell for a day before they got me all situated. I
was in there with like 30 other people. Two meals
(A SANDWICH AND A COOKIE), NO BLANKETS,and I didn't
get my phone call until the next day. They kept
moving us to different cells. Bruce: Crowded, hot, stinky, boring, disgusting, and
annoying. Brian: I went from the court room to an intake vestibule,
then into a holding cell before my intake
examimation (including medical interview, strip
search and fitting for a uniform), then spent two
days in the "sorting pod" before getting
classified as a low-risk inmate with no gang
affiliations, later joining general population
before transferring to the community corrections
center.
