Looks like Chico isn't too happy with David. I do hope that he stayed away from his wife after this and was able to get some help for the drinking. This is a sad story and there is more than one party to blame. Thanks so much for sharing. This must have been difficult to write.

You're dammed lucky you got off so easy. If your attorney had not known the judge you would have been in some shit. Domestic violence crimes are no laughing matter.

Comment from Marjorie D.
I love the differences in the speech of the black prisoners. You've made it sound very authentic. If this brief prison stay doesn't wake Dave up, I don't know what will.
...which the other prisoners seemed to ignor(e).
Come on out(,) gentlem(e)n.
Jacob?s (Jacobs) had arranged for David to be called first.
?Yes(,) sir, I do.?
David was stunned. Rehabilitation, he thought. Am I that bad? Jacob?s thinks I?m an alcoholic. ?Allen, are you serious?? (formatting glitch follows)
It?s only four weeks, David? (formatting)
Well done, Doug!

Comment from babylonia
sounds like the attorney is an aa member. maybe not. either way, he does sound like a good guy. easy to read and follow. i did see a couple of spags. easy to fix. imagery is excellent as well.
the other prisoners seemed to ignore. (spelling - ignore)
ask this morning's patients to either wait or come back (drop one to and add or)
keep up the good work~

Comment from CALLAHANMR
An excellent chapter. The dialogue was very logical. One thing bothers a bit. I don't believe most jails would put a prominent medical doctor in shackles; chained to other offenders. He would not be considered a threat either for violence or escape,
The outcome was predictable, While domestic violence is considered a violent crime, most offenders are treated leniently the first time.(I am assuming a first offence, but I have not kept up with this story.
I found no SPAG and liked the writing.
