Interview with Chuck

JM: How long was your sentencing for?
Chuck: My original plea agreement was for 30 days but when I was in court for sentencing the judge asked me if I had anything to say for myself. I assumed he wanted me to say that it was dumb and I regretted it. I had already said all of that in the paper the Utah probation officer had submitted to the court that he was holding so I didn't think there was anything to say. The judge told me that he didn't think I felt sorry so he added 5 days onto my sentence.

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?
Chuck: I was in the small holding cell next to the courtroom for about an hour. It was extremely boring and uncomfortable. The room was about 4 feet wide by 6 feet long with a concrete bench on one wall. I was handcuffed behind my back upon leaving the courtroom so I couldn't lean back or really sit comfortably. After court was over they moved everyone who was going to jail down to the larger holding cell in the basement where we sat/stood for another hour until the van got there. Once I got to the jail I was in booking for 2 hours or so until they put me in a holding cell. I spent the next 24 hours in a holding cell while they found a bunk for me inside of the actual cell blocks.

Cache County has been a fast-growing county in northern Utah. Although people might not immediately think of crime as being a big problem in such a conservative state, actually there is quite a bit of crime and the jail stays quite full.

Of course nobody wants to go to jail, but if you know somebody in this situation it is at least nice to be able to reassure them of what to expect. In general jail is much less scary than what is usually depicted on television (which is actually prison anyway).
