Broward County Jail

Sentencing

Interview with James and Charles


JM: How long was your sentencing for?
James: I was never sentenced, always plead, or negotiated, or open plead.
Charles: Original plea was 18 years lmfao. Took no sentence on any charge accept violation of probation, 60 days on that. Spent two months in broward for no reason as my timed serve was not recognized by Palm Beach county and I took no sentence in broward.

JM: Did you spend time in a holding cell after your sentencing? If so, what was that like?
James: The holding cells were your worst nightmare (at the courthouse). The cells are frequently overcrowded with no seats. The running water (HA) dribbles out so it is undrinkable. A water cooler comes around every couple of hours if you're lucky enough to be there when it comes. It smells, it's dirty (most of the time), no clocks. It's always freezing and inmates are not allowed to wear sweatshirts, and many inmates have no t-shirts or socks.
Charles: I was sent straight to ISO. 24 hour lock down for two weeks. Then I got to go to the 11 4A pod. No holding cell for me in Broward. In palm beach S6C was a phenomena, stogs and drugs everywhere. People cook adderal into meth using the fluroscent light bulbs.
