21 year old female 24 hours in jail for a DUI and scared and want to know what to expect?

State: WA

So I (F21) was arrested for a DUI, it was my 1st time getting in trouble and I blew a 0.12. I know I made a big mistake and that I do deserve jail but at the same time I am scared and would like to know what I should expect. I know 1 day is not a lot time wise but I am still afraid of being in danger.

I already spent like 4 hours at that jail while being booked but as I was bailed out quickly I never entered the living unit, I was only it the booking cell. I am really scared and don't know what to expect there and if I will be hurt since I am just a 21 yo middle class college student who is 5 feet 4 and like 120 lbs so far from some dangerous woman.

  1. Will I be bullied?
  2. Does the 24 hours take into account the time it will take to process me in and out or no and if no does it mean I could actually do a bit more inside?
  3. Will I have to get out of my clothes for a search (When I was arrested I only had to chance into a jumpsuit in a private room and walk into a scanner but I wasn't going into the living units so maybe it's different)?
  4. Would it be possible to just not eat anything so I don't have to use the toilet in front of others?

21 year old female 1 day in jail for a DUI and extremely scared and wanna know what to expect?

State is Washington and it's a smaller rural jail not a big urban one. I got 24 consecutive hours.

So I (F21) was busted for a DUI, it was my 1st time getting in trouble and I blew a 0.12. I know I made a big mistake and that I likely do deserve jail time but at the same time I am very scared and would like to know what to expect. I know 1 day is nothing time wise but I am still afraid of being in danger.

I already did spend a few hours at that jail while being booked but as I was bailed out in like 4 hours I never entered the living unit, I was only it the booking cell. I am really scared and don't know what to expect and if I will be hurt since I am just a 21 year old middle class college studnet who is 5 feet 4 and 120 lbs so far from some big girl fighter.

  1. Will I be bullied? Or in danger?
  2. Does the 24h take into account the time it takes to book me and process me out?
  3. Will I have to undress for a search (I only had a scanner upon arrest and had to change into orange jumpsuit in a private room).
  4. Would it be possible to just not eat anything so I do not have to use the toilet in front of others?

Was the strip search of my 19 year old daughter legal when she was booked for a DUI?

ARIZONA

So my 19yo daughter was arrested for a DUI and she had to spent the night in jail before bailing out. She said they made her strip naked and change into a unifrom.

Is this legal and if yes how? She is not a violent criminal or a smuggler, what she did was wrong but not high level criminal wrong.

Can she sue over it? She's never been in trouble before.

My daughter (19) got busted for drunk driving.

So my 19 year old daughter got arrested for a DUI.

It happened yesterday and she had to spend the night in jail. I picked her up a few hours ago. She has never been in trouble before and I've always told her to NEVER drive drunk.

On the bright side she only blew a 0.09 BAC so she is just above the legal limit that doesn't make it ok but at least makes it a bit better.

She told me that she only had two drinks and felt safe to drive. I told her: "You're 19 and shouldn't be drinking at all and I know I am likely not going to be able to stop you from drinking even if I try but at least don't drive drunk get an uber or call me I won't be mad."

I don't know how to feel. In our state 10 days in jail is the mandatory minimum for a 1st DUI and I am really scared for her. She lives at home and commutes to college so we will be there for her but I am still very scared. Her mom is angry too even more so than me. I am just sad that my daughter put herself and others in danger. I think a few days in jail could be a good wake up call but I don't want it to mess up her college classes so I am not sure. I just want her to learn from this and never do it again.

She has good grades, we are very supportive and stable, she has a loving boyfriend, she is also a student athlete and is just overall a great person so this was a shock and the prospect of her getting jail time (not just the booking cell while she awaits to see a judge and bond out like she had after her arrest) scare me.
