JM: How long was your sentencing for? Julie: Only in for 6 days I had a out-of-county warrant Inmate's Sister: 20years Houston: 60 days, 1 for two , so thirty days Claire: I was sentenced to 60 days incarceration, but since Harris County
gives you credit for two days for every 1 day served, I only served
30 days. Jim: This time it was six years Inmate's Mom: He has not been sentenced. DK: still awaiting trial Smyth: 7 mos. Ken: Sentencing was very quick. I went before the
judge, admited guilt, he reviewed the
recommendations from the prosecutor and read my
sentence. Charlene: I spent 6 days in jail cuz I didn't know the
system until someone told me I could ask for a
court date. I had my hearing the next day. Greg: 18 day's, Apparently this suck's reading the
rest of everyone elses experience this doesnt
even matter, serve ur time and shut up and do
what can make u get out of there with two arms
and two legs. GMan: 1 year Jamie: yr - 6mths each ran current Leisha: 6mounths Toby: it was for 2 months. but since i already done 17
days when they arrested me a year earlier. and
it was under the 12.44a section of the tx penal
code i was to get 2 for 1 in actually i was only
getting 1 month and i had done 17 days so i had
13 more days to go. Joseph: i still havent been sentenced. i am out on bond. Lisa: I didn't get one. Brandy: Timed served and a $2500.00 fine to be paid within
60 days. Consuela: I was sentenced to a rehabilitation program for
6 months but I had to wait in jail on tax payers
money for 6 months....just dead time that
counted for nothing. I could've saved the tax
payers by being on house arrest but it was
denied. Tiffany: none, time served. Tom: 1 year in jail probated for 2 years. I violated my
probation and was sentenced to 10 days in jail.
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? Julie: I was hell I went in That Wednesday about 12
noon and did not get to House till Thuirday
morning about 4am Inmate's Sister: during the process of going to court they had
him in harris county for months and months he
would write me and tell me how he did'nt deserve
to be kept like an animal for something he
didn't do.how the guards were being mean picking
with him trying to pervoke him because they
didn't like him. Houston: Of course, hours and hours with all kinds of
women. Hookers, transexuals, intoxicated
people, drugged out people, pregnant woman , you
name it. Claire: It seems like most of the time spent in Harris County Jail is spent in
holding cells. You're in holding for the better part of two days
when you are first booked in, and then once you are officially
booked in, given a uniform, and given a bed, you can spend
countless more hours in holding, depending on how long your
sentence is and how many times you go to court. Jim: Yes, about an hour after sentencing you are lead
back down to the other holdovers where you
eventually make it back to your cell block. Inmate's Mom: Bond was posted on Friday July the 25th at 4
p.m. He was not released until noon on Saturday. DK: its dirty, stinks and over crowded Smyth: Yes.. 44 hours.. Standing room only enforced by
Sheriff Deputies Ken: No Charlene: no Greg: 5 to 6 hour's, very long and boring reuten. GMan: No Jamie: yes,dirty, smelly, filthy, loud and un
comfortable but once again this is not the hilton Leisha: yes, very crouded and nasty unclean ,and
deputies treat you like you're not even human Toby: no i didn't spend time in a holding cell, after
sentencing. because the judge gave a month, to
get my things in order. but i did spend time in
a holding room. it's not a holding cell, it's
real big with alot of inmates stacked in it. it
gets real crowdedin there. Joseph: i am currently out on bond and awaiting
sentencing. Lisa: No Brandy: The holding cell was overcrowded, filthy and one
of the only two toilets were stopped up. Consuela: It was miserable.When your finished with your
case everyone must wait together in the same
holding cell...even if its 20 of us. I went to
get sentenced 8 different times. Everytime was
just as horrifying as the first. Tiffany: Cold and dirty. After court, I spent about 8 more
hours in two different holding cells with approx.
12-15 other women.
how does the booking date, in date and out date work? my friend went in on the first but his in date is the sixth out is the fourteen so do he get 2 for 1 stiil?
