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? John: Just like pre sentencing. Your in there with
everyone-murders, rapists, etc. Raquel: Yes, you go back into the holding cell and wait
for the bus to transfer you back to the jail. Colby: Yes, No different if in jail on Holidays but did
have different moods from other inmates as they
miss there families and reminisce would it would
be like if they were out.. Nikki: I was in a holding cell for about 30 minutes and
then transported back to Bexar County Jail Lea: Holding cell sucked. It is before they classify
where you will be until your court date which can
be anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months before you
actually see the judge, the girls in the holding
cell are in there for anything from minor
possesion charges to serious assault charges. Hoyllwood: After the sentencing it seemed as if they took
even longer to do nothing. haha what do they care?
Our tax dollars pay them. Woody: spent alot of time in a cell Jeremy: Yeah, I was taken to a holding cell after I got
sentenced. Again it was also crowded but this
time the emotions were more varied. Some were
obviously happy because they got a lot less time
than they thought they were going to get. others
were seriously and majorly pissed off because
they got a lot of fuckin time. Some who were
newbies in the system were crying because they
had never gone to jail before and were scared. Lekisha: No I guess nothing is as bad as when you arrested by maybe
2-3 hrs but I think it should take alot lee time then sitting in
a holding cell Gary: Yes I did spend time in a holding cell
after court. Thats
skmethin thar you rarely get away from
its not bad enough
that you are at court all day but then
have to sit in the
holding cells after Ricky: I sat in a holding cell for 20 minutes until being
transferred back to jail. I felt relief, it was
finally done with. I knew a date that I would be
home on. Warren: No I stayed there cuz I only served 30 more days and there
was no point to move me to another facility, but they did make
me go to IHRP PROGRAM with haven for hope 90 days ther.
