Sentencing

Interview with Jenna, Cris and Mel

JM: How long was your sentencing for?
Jenna: 30 Days in custody and 4 months of electronic home monitoring.
Cris: na
Mel: 14 days time served, 2 years probation

JM: Did you spend time in a holding cell after your sentencing? If so, what was that like?
Jenna: Yes. Well it was very uncomfortable sitting on that hard concrete bench, and then you have to use the bathroom in front of everyone. This particular time I was in there with some young girls who talked very loud, so you have to deal with being this little room with ten people and it's loud. They tried intimidating one young girl, but they found out she was not going for it. The cell was very dirty, writing on the wall, smelt of urine, and on the wall were (what I think were) boogers. I was in there until everyone finished there sentencing, some people cried and some came in happy.
Cris: I spent time in a holding cell that smelled like urine and shit. And when I told the staff. Their comment was " Oh well deal with it."
Mel: No
