Jefferson County Jail

Pre-sentencing

Interview with Cami and Tombstone

JM: Tell us about the pre-sentencing process:
Cami: The presentencing process is conducted by a probationary member and is focused on the type of correctional discipline you need according to your prior infractions with the law and your current case. Depending on your own ability to conduct yourself in an appropriate manner.
Tombstone: I didnt go thru the pre-sentencing;I was transferred back from a Federal facility for a civil trial,there

JM: Did you have police stop by your house for questioning?
Cami: No, I did not have any police officers stop by my house for questioning.
Tombstone: No

JM: What was your court appearance like?
Cami: I was the last person left in the courtroom. The judge took a recess before he called my case, so the suspense was very stressful. I was very nervous the entire time, but being the only one left in the courtroom it made the sentencing seem a bit more personal.
Tombstone: Very embarrassing,they take you in leg irons,& jail smocks,handcuffs too,but they take those off before you go into the courtroom
