Cobb County Jail

Sentencing

Interview with Harry

JM: How long was your sentencing for?
Harry: I was sentenced for 30 days in Jail. It was either serve the time or lose my drivers license for a period of 5 years. I chose to serve the time as 5 years is impossible for me unless I did not work or have any responsibility.

JM: Did you spend time in a holding cell after your sentencing? If so, what was that like?
Harry: Once I appeared for sentencing it was quite an odd evening. I went out with my fiance to have dinner and drinks, to somewhat "prime" myself for the experience I was about to endure. Anyhow, I drank entirely too much that night, and was a little scared to appear to serve time drunk. I ended up sleeping it off a little while before I had her wake me up and take me in to Jail. Once brought to Jail, I walk in the front door and tell the officer I am here to serve my time. They looked at me like I was crazy for turning myself in and coming in to serve time. The rest of the holding cell information you will find in the earlier paragraph.
