New Question Hey everyone- Sorry for all my posts, but I just thought of another question. I was hoping to get some info on.



As I've stated, I turn myself in to Van Nuys jail on 2/21 for a 45 day stay on a DUI (2nd one) misdemeanor, non-violent.



When I turn myself in and am getting booked I know that I need to be super nice and respectful (no sir/yes sir) and try my best to come off as a nice guy and be as helpful to the sheriffs as possible to try and get on their good side.



If I do that do you think they will give me an accurate idea of how long Im actually going to be in there? Or do they not tell you anything and you basically just go in with no idea or your actual length of stay, except for 50% time, 22 days?



The reason I ask is I am considering applying for house arrest and my lawyer thinks there is a pretty good chance I would get approved. However based on what many of you have said, I think i'll only be there for just a day or two. So if it's going to be that short, I'd rather do that then have to deal with 45 days of house arrest. That all being said I figure if they at least are willing to tell me when I get booked, "you'll probably be here 10 days..." or whatever it is, I will have a better idea on whether it's worth it to me to start my house arrest application.



Thanks again for any feedback. I just don't want to get approved and released on full time house arrest, if waiting like a day longer would have just got me released completely on my own. So I am hoping the sheriffs will keep me informed of what my actual stay time looks like.
