Daviess County Jail

Pre-sentencing

Interview with Kara


JM: Tell us about the pre-sentencing process:
Kara: I didn't get a good lawyer or a decent pretrial. I was in jail because someone had robbed my house. I didn't know I had 5 warrants out for my arrest. I was never given a good reason why they sere keeping me there the first time. The second time after I was sentenced they kept me in jail for 4 extra days because they said that the jusge didn't want to sign my release papers. My time was 10 days I spent 14. this time every time I go in to report I will be taking my paper.

JM: Did you have police stop by your house for questioning?
Kara: Never did they come for questioning they only came the day I was arrrested.

JM: What was your court appearance like?
Kara: I was in jail clothes.
