Pre-sentencing

Interview with Cyle, Caesar, Liz and Samuel

JM: Tell us about the pre-sentencing process:
Cyle: I was arrested for outstanding warrants for unpaid traffic tickets. The officers led me into the jailhouse and insisted that i remove my belt and my wedding ring. I tried lying and saying that I could NOT remove my ring, as it was too small now and surprisingly it worked! They actually let me wear it.
Caesar: I had a probation violation. It was revoked, got a date to turn myself in, and did.
Liz: you go from booking to holding to property where your striped and sprayed with cold bugspray, short shower, and changed out. then more holding (detox) and shackles and transport to the main jail, for more holding and finally to your new home. then look forward to a tb shot.
