Pre-sentencing

Interview with Jamie

JM: Tell us about the pre-sentencing process:
Jamie: Most of the information you received was through other inmates. Being the first time arrested I never thought it would take so long. I had multiple trips that took all day only to be in court for five minutes. Most of the time although I spoke with a public defender I didn't know what was going on.

JM: Did you have police stop by your house for questioning? If not please give us details on how you came to be arrested.
Jamie: No in our case the police knocked on the door when no one answered they walked right in and place my roommate in handcuffs. After not giving them permission to search the house they placed me in handcuffs and then went to obtain a search warrant

JM: What as court like? Please give as many details as you recall.
Jamie: All together I had about 60 appearances in court. Starting early in the morning was shackled in cuffs transported to court waited most of the day. Brought in front of three different judges each time thinking i was going to get an answer and then sent back to holding.Transported to safety center. Followed by a strip search and back to my cell by the evening.
