It is my opinion that the necessary ingredient for a break in this case is time. The principal players are locked up all right, but they are doing County time at present. County time is a walk in the park compared to the State time that awaits all of them without some type of intervention or deal.
County time is short time for every inmate in the facility. All are either serving out short sentences, trying to make bail, awaiting trial, or waiting to be shipped to a state diagnostic prison for processing to what will be their prison home for the term of their sentence. RC, MC, TC, HS, and DB are surrounded by short timers, like them, whose own best interests tend to make life more bearable for all. There are certainly dangerous people in some County facilities waiting, but for the most part there is normally little trouble at that stage.
Ronald Cummings almost seems to be enjoying himself to a certain degree, telling about his escapades of banging cups on the bars with his new best bud Chad, playing cards through the bars, and being his clever self in trading pieces of candy to get his pencil sharpened.
Even Misty has a new gal pal that did her hair through the cell bars according to what she told her mother. All still have considerable interaction with their families and attorneys.
Most importantly, all still have a degree of hope.
If the charges are as slam dunk as we’ve been led to believe, each day that passes brings each one of these players closer to the day where all sense of liberty and human existence as they know it will cease. State prison is like nowhere else on this earth. They will be surrounded by long timers who have created their own sub cultures within their captive society. At that point, hope for the future is nothing but a memory and hope, instead, becomes a necessary ingredient to make it through each day.
Right now, State prison is just a worst case scenario to these players. There will come a time for each one of them when it is as real as anything they have ever known. At that point, if not before, each one of them will be begging to tell whatever they know.
I know. Read this post to see why.
