Interview with PJ, Katherine, Jimmy and Baldy


JM: Tell us about the pre-sentencing process:
PJ: There was not much of a pre-sentencing process because it was a driving related charge.
Katherine: Well there wasnt one really. I spent most of my time just waiting to go to court.
Jimmy: violated probation after getting caught with a gun sat in their for 3 months before sentencing
Baldy: It was the awfullest thing Ive ever imagined.

JM: Did you have police stop by your house for questioning?
PJ: no

Jimmy: no was in jail
Baldy: No I would have got away if they did that

JM: What was your court appearance like?
PJ: The judge explained the offense to me. I had a choice if I wanted a lawyer to represent me. I entered my plea of guilty.
Katherine: Horrible because nothing happened. They just kept setting my court date further and further.
Jimmy: everyone was the same shackled up in a holding cell talking to my attorney telling me how much time im facing
Baldy: very routine, long waiting process, and hardly people friendly
