According to James, he can apply for Elaine for one to two days of hospital treatment at most, but after the hospital treatment is over, Elaine must attend the preliminary hearing.
Before the trial, the judge will make a ruling on whether Elaine can be released on bail based on the general circumstances of the case. If bail is available, the judge will give a bail amount and as long as the money is available, the person can temporarily restore freedom. However, according to James, the amount of contraband involved in Elaine’s case is too large so bail is basically impossible. This means that after the court session, Elaine will be temporarily detained in the detention center.
Similar to China, the United States also has two kinds of institutions, jail and prison. Although they both mean prison in translation, the former is actually more similar to China’s detention center which is used to temporarily detain suspects with lesser crimes or who have not yet been sentenced. And the latter is the real prison for convicted criminals. It is the former that Elaine will be detained.
In order not to make Charlie worry too much, Ferdie also promised him that he could quietly fish Elaine out of it first through a special channel. Even if Charlie needs it, he can directly send Elaine back to China and he can completely settle the matter here. However, Charlie declined his kindness. On one hand, Charlie didn’t want his wife to feel that his ability was too great. On the other hand, he also hoped that Elaine would go in and have a good memory.
The last time she entered the detention center Elaine remembered that the others can’t just steal other people’s things, especially other people’s bank cards, but the experience of entering the detention center only taught her this lesson and did not let her realize the danger of this world did not make her completely cut off her greed.
