Clackamas County Jail

Sentencing

Interview with Lisa


JM: How long was your sentencing for?
Lisa: I was sentenced to one weekend in jail, treatment through NW Treatment, and license suspension for 17 months due to the late December appearance. I wanted my license back so bad that I would have walked on water to get it. I have never drank alcohol and driven since that night. I drove a stake in when they took the breatholizer out of my truck that I would never again drink and drive. The breatholizer was the most important part of the treatment for me. It makes a person realize how often they think about having "just one beer." Hah!

JM: Did you spend time in a holding cell after your sentencing? If so, what was that like?
Lisa: No, the holding cell was the night I was arrested. I knew some of the officers (like my neighbor was there to greet me in the morning) and I don't remember waiting long at all to get to my new "room."
