When a sentence is for, lets say, ten days, the person will serve the full ten days if it is served in a private jail. Serving time in a private jail is not at the election of the sentenced person, it is only after the court has allowed them to do so. The person must qualify, and be granted the opportunity to do so by the Judge.
If the crime that has been charged is a violent crime or the person is one that is a high risk to society, they will likely not be granted the option of private jail. Certain offenses will require mandatory jail time.
Jail is a potential consequence for some less serious crimes that still warrant some time spent in jail, and are not as serious as offenses that require an extensive amount of prison time. When time spent behind bars is a year or less, it is served in a jail. When it goes beyond a year, it will be served in a state prison. Many jail sentences, however, have the option of being completed in ways other than being admitted to a county jail.
With the right argument and strong negotiation, an experienced Southern California DUI and Criminal Defense Attorney may be able to persuade the court to allow a person to avoid serving Jail time. One such way is through the alternative of house arrest. House arrest is available in cases where the person requires minimum security, is a low risk and non-violent. As mentioned before, it would not be an option in cases where the sentence involves extensive jail time, which is often in violent cases such as homicide.
A person who is granted the option to serve their sentence under house arrest is confined to their residence under strict conditions. The house arrest will restrict their freedom and lifestyle, but it will allow them to complete their obligations to the government in the comfort of their own home. House arrest, does in many situations allow for a person to continue working and attend other obligations that are vital to their life.
House arrest will be supervised by the relevant enforcement agency and it will be monitored by electronic surveillance, usually in the form of an electronic transmitter worn on the ankle.

In the county jail I was in, we were allowed to spend time in the dayroom outside of our cells for a few hours each day. Jails are where the police take people who have been arrested for any crime — from minor traffic violations to murder. Officers are rarely inside the pods, and instead, they monitor inmate activity via video.
The living conditions in jail are usually a lot worse than in prison. The walls are covered in mold, nothing works properly, and the cells are tiny and rarely cleaned. People who are sentenced for misdemeanors or have sentences of less than a year are usually housed in a jail.
Prisons are facilities under the jurisdiction of the state or federal government where convicted inmates who have committed felonies serve longer sentences. People who have been found guilty of breaking a state law are usually sent to a state prison, while those who have been found guilty of breaking federal laws are sent to a federal prison that is located somewhere in the United States. Prisons are designed for long-term incarceration, so they often have a campus where the inmates live, work, and go to school.
Supermax and maximum-security prisons are much more strict and the inmates are usually locked up in their cells for 23 hours a day with limited movement in the camp.
However, in the lower security levels, inmates are allowed out of their cells for the majority of the day and they can move between buildings for school, work, chow hall, medical, recreation, and programming activities. Many of these facilities have dormitory style housing instead of traditional prison cells.
The prison guards are everywhere, both inside the housing units, outside on the yard, and in every building on camp. Being incarcerated is the worst, but if you have the choice between jail and prison, prison is usually a much better place to be.
Inmates in both prison and jail have the right to visitation from family and friends. They also have basic prisoner rights, including the right to humane treatment, no cruel or unusual punishment, and the right to be free from sexual crimes.
Both jail and prison inmates have the right to access the courts and a law library to fight their case, and they also have a right to basic medical care. Shelby J. Anderson, Esq. Tyler Schwenke, Esq. Client Login. Practice Areas. Hands down, Greatest of all Time 2. He will not be bullied by another party and will stand up for his client as if they were family. He is so reasonable and knows how to make his point so eloquently.
He will always try to reason and settle before it gets to court, in order to avoid costing everyone thousands of dollars in fees and representation. I've recently used Chris for what should have been a cut and dry case but the defendant was firm in their beliefs that they were in the right.
Chris sent an email explaining our position and how we were right by the law. We never heard a response. Chris had to get creative and involve a somewhat related third party. After a brief phone call with the related third party, the defendant let us know that they would comply with our request. The whole situation gave me immense anxiety and made me sick for weeks.
After I involved Chris, he did nothing but calm my nerves and assure me that everything was going to be okay. He was absolutely right. I cannot thank Chris enough for his passion and devotion to everyone he helps inside and outside his practice!
I have so much respect for this man. Not only will they help you with your case but they will also help you out financially and give you the best legal representation out here. They did me justice and then some. Very reasonable price considering the length that they will go to just to make sure you have the right legal representation. I promise you it is worth it. I cannot say enough good things about Chris Doran and his team.
He is quite literally the best at what he does. His team is highly capable as well. I've used them on multiple occasions and he has even assisted me on legal matters outside of his legal expertise s.
He is knowledgeable, professional, and his email correspondence to opposing parties are practically a gift from God. I refer anyone and everyone I know to this firm and they will be my go-to for life! I'm truly grateful for you professionalism in handling my case.

Amazing Lawyer!!! She helped me win my custody battle with flying colors! If I ever need legal support again I will most for sure be reaching out to Shelby again! She was an amazing lawyer who listened to me and gave trustworthy advice and worked hard to get me what I wanted. I found Shelby through the modest means project which was a god send. Shelby was very responsive whenever I had a question or needed to talk.
My custody case was stressful at times, scary, emotional and Shelby helped ease that and then eventually won my case. Thank you so much Shelby for everything you did for me. Overall, a great person! Knowing that Tyler not only competed and won numerous awards when competing in mock-trial in college, but is also a coach for the ASU Mock-Trial Team, I knew that I was getting a lawyer who is top tier.
Tyler took the time to understand my concerns, go through all of the details leading up to my hearing, and prepped me well for the day of the hearing. When my hearing came, I was extremely nervous, but he reassured me that everything would move forward smoothly and there would be nothing to worry about.
Tyler was phenomenal with his execution of our opening and closing statements, as well as with his cross-examination of me to bring to light the facts that may not have been known to the board. Tyler's knowledge and expertise is the reason why my case was won, and I know for a fact that if it weren't for him, I would not have had the favorable outcome that we hoped for.
If you want a lawyer who doesn't just know how to win, but also understands how to comfort and support you amidst the entire process Tyler from Doran Justice is your guy. And if you need any extra reasons as to why you should choose him, look at his resume and his willingness to give back to and help coach the future lawyers of the world -- as it is evident that he genuinely cares about every person that he helps. He came up with a plan, and executed it perfectly!
I received no prison time, and the felony charge was reduced to a misdemeanor! I never thought this could happen, not in my wildest dreams! Thank you Chris! Chris and his entire team took us promptly, professionally, and with the highest level of care. Communication up front as well as each step along the way was clear, frequent, and kept us in the loop at all times.
My wife and I are so happy and grateful for the excellent service and Doran Justice provides and highly recommend them to friends and family. We were honestly a little hesitant due to the fact that Shelby is a younger lawyer, but she went above and beyond in her representation of us.
