I do not know anything about the legal system, but I could envision a system where someone in prison could be transferred to the jail prior to a court hearing. The jail might serve as a holding cell prior to going to court maybe even overnight or a day or two. This could put Bricks or Tardust or DurAi, in the county jail with Ink.

Like I have said, one line is the tattoos were inflicted, sounds like against his will, but a line shortly after is he paid of Cohen to do it to him. Ambiquity.

So, in summary, bill Roberts was in the mental hospital and brought to the county jail before going to the court house. I think it is plausible that someone might be brought from Eastern Bay to the county jail prior to a court hearing.
I like this. But my only question would be, if we are assuming that the events happened pretty quickly after Ink was at the jail..... Jail>Transport to Courthouse>Outbreak......... Then how did the prisoners get back to the prison?

It is assumed that when Scratch goes back to break out Latch and the prisoners that she sets them all free, not that someone joins back up with them at a later point.

So somehow we need to get them from the prison to the jail, and then back to the prison all before the outbreak starts..... Unless these are just all new people and we are slowly getting Inks backstory in pieces.
