JM: Did you spend time in a holding cell after your sentencing? If so, what was that like?
edward: holding cells are horrible its basically a big open room meant for twenty guys but theres at least thirty the toilets are placed were everyone can see you same with the shower and it smells bad
Joe: not after sentencing but i have been in a few. and actual holding cells are just very small rooms with a built in concrete bench/bed and nothing else. the big 20 man rooms are actual tanks but are mainly used for fresh inmates before sending them to a cellblock.
