The most disturbing thing out of this article is that Sheriff Joe could reconsider letting Arias have media access if she is sentenced to LWOP and goes back to the jail for a few days.
Arias waived her right to speak and if Sheriff Joe grants an interview, it is for his benefit only. It puts him back "on the case" for one last time and feeds her/his ego.
This should not be allowed at all!
"PHOENIX - The verdict for Jodi Arias' sentence will result in a lot of quick decisions.
The first is where the driver of her transport vehicle will go from the courthouse. If she gets a death sentence she'll immediately be driven to the Lumley Unit of Perryville prison in the west Valley.
If Arias gets a life sentence, it would be at least 48 hours before she's transported from the Estrella Women's Jail where she’s currently housed to Perryville prison.
That also means Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio will still have custody of Arias and gets to make the call if she can do any media interviews right after the verdict. So far, Arpaio has denied Arias any more media visits, but ABC15 has learned he might reconsider.
Arias also has to authorize one person to pick up her personal belongings from the Estrella Jail that she’s collected during her years there.
Once at Perryville, her final home will a six-by-eight-foot cell regardless of the verdict. Former Department of Corrections Communications Director, Barrett Marson, says the cells include a bed, toilet, shelf and face the west.
"In July and August it's going to be very hot. They don't have air conditioning, they do have swamp coolers, but in Arizona we know that doesn’t do much,” said Marson.
On death row, Arias will be allowed outside for one hour, six days a week and it will be spent alone, the other inmates get cleared out of the exercise area.
Most of Arias' life will be spent alone, even eating, in her cell. To pass the other 23 hours a day in her concrete box, she can read and will eventually be allowed to buy a small TV with basic cable channels if her family puts money into a spending account.
Computer time will not exist for Arias, no more Twitter. Her contact with the outside world will be cut off.
"She'll have almost no contact with anyone, other than you can talk between the cells through the vents," said Marson.
If she gets a life sentence, then after about two years she can earn more privileges with good behavior which includes more time outside when other inmates are out as well and longer visitation times.
Eventually she could even be transferred to a medium security prison which is more like a dorm setting with shared bunks and more space to roam.
"It's not meant to be easy, so it is hard time,” said Marson."
