Im turning myself into local authorities for breaking and entering? This is my second time being caught.?

Question

The first time i got probation what will happen the 2nd time?

what is the average jail time for this crime?

will i be strip searched? how is this done?

any information is appreciated.

Answer 1

Well. it's gonna have to be one heck of an easy going judge to agree to probation the second time.

(When you see Helga the night shift jailer put on the glove, take a deep breath. Enjoys her work way too much.)

Answer 2

Well the old saying is three strikes your out, so far you have two. You may catch a break depending on the judge and how remorseful you are.

Answer 3

Jail times can vary from state to state. You will be strip searched. I suggest you contact a lawyer before turning yourself in.

Answer 4

Ummy Okay.

Like, why are you breaking and entering in to some ones home?

See, this is the different (thee opposite) kind of Crazy that I am talking about. To break in to peoples homes, catching aids, shooting for no reason, smoking crack, stealing is just pointless.

Do you like having to squat and cough? I mean, come on, does that sexually arouse you or something?

Answer 5

you are looking at jail time as a 2nd offense.  The amount of time depends on the state.  If they wanted to take your voting right away they will put you in for a year and a day.

I am sure you will be separated from your clothing at some point and given appropriate jail clothes to wear.  I would imagine a strip search wouldn't happen unless you are headed to maximum security..../

Answer 6

Is there an open investigation for breaking and entering?  If so, there may not be anything to turn yourself in on, so...

If there is an open case, then you could be prosecuted independent of the consequences that this new case will have on your probation.  If it's a noxious case, and they've got you dead to rights, you can expect to do time on both cases (you'll be resentenced to jail on the older case) and possibly both cases will run cosecutively (as opposed to concurrent, as Denzel Washington got when he played Malcom X in that movie).  You should also specify whether the probation you've got stemmed from a felony or misdemeanor conviction.  if you get more than one year on the new case, your misdemeanor sentence (in NYS anyway) should be "merged" so that the terms overlap.

There is no average time for anything (and certainly when you don't specify what your record is or what jurisdiction your calling from).  I'm sorry to say but if you're asking about how much to expect, you've probably been deluded by "jailhouse lawyers" (other criminals) who presume that the criminal justice system works like a big factory, imposing one-size-fits-all justice.  The judge will look at your record, your probation history, your probation reports and the new crime.  There is no such thing as average.

If you were warned not to sustain any new arrests (typical in NYS), then the new case can be used to violate you on probation even if it's dismissed - the deciding factor is whether the new arrest was legal, or if it was later found to be unfounded.  (it would depend on the circumstances).

Searches?  This is tricky - if you get incarcerated, you can expect to be searched, even strip-searched.  (If it's bad, and, sorry to say, but it probably will, reserve your indignation for all those who preceded you into the criminal justice system carrying weed or small weapons concealed in the most ignominous of placed).  Strip searches are generally done in semi-secluded areas (they don't want to humiliate you in front of too many; at the same time, they don't want you to be so secluded that officers could do anything to you; it may also be video'd).
