Interview with Eric, Bonnie, Jerome, Big Kim and Josh
JM: How long was your sentencing for? Eric: Was not sentenced I was released,But the day
before I was to return to court(29 days later).
I was accused of violating my restraining order
that was involuntarily placed in my wifes
behalf.I was then arrested a second time taken
back to jail where I spent yet another night in
good old Kidnap County Jail. I talked to another
judge the next day via internet camera. He told
me that it was in his opinion that I was
innocent of all charges(Maybe due to the fact
that I had not been arrested in 16yrs)I was 32yo
at the time of my illegal incarseration. Iwas
then once again released and asked if I could
return that day to attend the court date that I
was suppose to be at instead of sitting in jail.
After the Prosecuting Attorney delt with all the
incustodies I was then allowed my chance in
court. But before I had my opportunity the
Prosicuter asked the judge that all charges
against me be dropped.Because after all why
would a man that had not given Law Inforcement
any reason in 16years take him to jail let alone
issue him any form of violation start his
criminal career as an adult with Domestic
Violence Assault. Bonnie: 5 yrs in prison with all but thirty days to
deferred. If I did 30 days incarcerated, then
obtained a job, attended counseling, cleaned up
and had no alcohol, etc, 400 hrs community
service, $2,500 paid to the Crime Victims fund,
and after I did that, and two years probation was
over, they would review everything and remove the
felony from my files. Jerome: 36 MONTHS Big Kim: anywhere from credit for time served to 60 days.. Josh: 6 months
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? Eric: Nope I was returned to my cell in the block
house and released within the hour! Bonnie: Yes, they placed me in a room with padded walls,
floor, and ceiling and a drain hole in the center
of the floor. No chairs, nothing. No toilet
either. Jerome: NO WENT BACK TO MY CELL Big Kim: Yes, no problem, curl up and go to sleep while they
decide what to do with you... Josh: no. after i was sentenced, i was brought back to
the tank and told to get my stuff to get moved
