Here's how his life will look:
Every time he leaves court, he is undressed, placed into full shackles, and led to a holding cell for active cases. Some states take their inmates back to jail, some stay at the court during the duration of the case. The courtroom cells are OLD and decrepid. There is no place to sleep, you must lay your head on cement. That is why it is preferable to go back to your jail cell.
So, after the case is over and he is convicted, he will return to jail and be placed in protective 23 hour lockdown for his own safety. This is because he is in police custody and his wellbeing is their responsibility. Now, when he is transferred to solitary, he will be placed on a D.O.C. transfer wait list. This is where he will be most miserable. He will have almost no communication besides mentally ill and sick people talking through the vents. He will eventully gain access to a book cart during his 1 hour of "rec". He will have a maximum of 4 books, which consist mostly of 1990's literature and dictionaries.
He will spend a few miserable months waiting to be transferred to a D.O.C. prison. During these months, because he will be assigned as a permanent "2 deputy" inmate, he will not be eligible for upgrade to gen pop. If, however, by clerical error, this does happen, he will be forced to "check in" very quickly or face serious injury or death from other inmates.
Finally, he is transferred to D.O.C. Now, his life finally begins. He will visit a place called "inmate classification" where he will be dertermined to be dangerous to himself or others. This will cause an immediate solitary assignment, where he will, again, be placed in a cell for 23 hours a day with 1 hour of recreational time in yet another cement box, slightly different in texture i suppose.
After that, someone else can help fill in.
