I’ve never been in legal trouble my entire life. I got a dui a while ago and was given unsupervised probation with community service, therapy, and SATOP class. My court date is October 10th. Due to some scheduling issues I wont be able to complete SATOP before the court date so unless I can postpone the date I’m most likely going to jail. I’m 26, 3.8 university gpa for computer science, fun and well paying job, but I can’t handle going to jail. I refuse. I’ve ordered 99.99% helium and all the supplies I need and I’m expecting it in a few days. I’m only calm now because I know (hoping) that this method will be painless. I feel like nothing I’ve done in my life matters now and it was all for nothing. I’ve completed every condition of probation on time except the class. It’s all been for nothing. Everything will go down the drain so I’m getting out. I’m going to do it on October 1st. No one even knows about the dui or everything I’ve been doing. I’ve concealed all of it. I wish I could do something but I don’t think I can so I’ll do this instead. I don’t really know why I’m writing this now but I had to tell somebody. I’m going to starve myself for several days so I don’t void my bowels after death. I’ll be leaving a very basic note only detailing who will get my stuff. I really hope this will be a peaceful way to go because I have no other way. I wish it didn’t have to be this way. I just want to stay with my family and live my life. I’m going to visit all of them and pretend everything is normal so I can say goodbye. I was looking forward to see how my life on my current path would turn out but not anymore.. I felt fine but writing this is making me cry. I just had to tell someone.

I highly doubt you will go to jail unless someone got hurt. People get dui all the time. The car gets towed they get a fine they have to pay and that’s typically about it. It depends on if it’s a repeat or not and what you’re using….a bunch of factors really.
That was my what I assume failed attempted at helping. I’m not very good with words sometimes although I do mean well
No one was hurt. I rolled my car on an empty road.
I can’t see anything too big coming from it. Just complete the community service and the classes. You should be fine. Not sure about where you are but I know here you can use “the defendant’s right to a speedy trial” against them but simply saying I’m not ready to defend myself yet. It’s the defendants right not the courts.
Hold on – there has to be some accommodation that can be made if all you lack is a class. Have you discussed your options with a lawyer, or the d.a. or whatever prosecuting agency is involved? I get not wanting to go to jail, believe me, but if you’ve completed so many of the requirements and only lack one, there has to be a way around it. . .
Give a local lawyers office a call. A lot of times, they’ll even just give you free advice over the phone.
And also, I guarantee you, they can extend your court date, easily. especially for a minor dui. It’s worth a call, please take just 10 minutes out of your day to reach out to one. Don’t let the damn government be the reason for your passing.
I’m sorry for your situation. It sounds like you have a lot going for you. Obviously don’t know the details of your case, but I would ask a few questions; 1) How sure are you that you’re going to jail? Could your scheduling issues not be explained to a court? 2) Even if you do go to jail, what makes you think it’ll be more than just a weekend stay for a first offence?
I think it’s probably possible to make it through a couple of days in jail if you keep your head down. I don’t think this one mistake necessarily has to ruin your entire life. I get that having a record can effect your future prospects, but it doesn’t have to be the end of everything. Like I said, it sounds like you’ve got a lot going for you, and that doesn’t just disappear because of one screw up. I think you could still live a good life.
I’m pre sure maximum is like 6 months in jail for a first dui, my father has had 2 or 3 and has never touched prison and has spent less than 4 days total in jail -_- Got hit with pre big fines though, and almost lost his driving privileges…. (I have no idea how he didn’t)
Jail really isn’t too bad compared to prison.
Deadford , you are crazy to kill yourself over a DUI period. Get your shit together and back on the right track. Sorry but come on, there not going to lock you up forever on a first offence. it will be a hassle but not that bad.
The exit bag is a good method but it can really screw you up if not done properly. 99.99% helium this is not for balloons.
The bright side is even if you don’t go through with it you can sit there get drunk and have a chipmunk voice and laugh your head off. That would be fun. I think I need some helium.
really try talking to the people at the class, or your parole officer about this…. I’m sure they’ll give you advice on your options and let you know if you are likely to even go to jail over it…. I am certain they will be understanding of some schedule conflicts too, especially if they are work or school related. It is at least worth a try? >.>
Hey, I’ve been arrested 7-10 times since April 2016, and I’ve never even crashed my car, lol. Well one time I hit a lamp post, but definitely never rolled the car.. jail is not that bad, I got 2 DUIs within 2 months for drinking 2 beers and driving lol. Jail isn’t that bad but definitely degrading. My first arrest a random young girl called the cops and told them I said “I needed to stab someone “ when I bought a knife. I never said anything though lol. In the police report she said she and her coworker were just joking around. Teeheehee. After that I was a honeysuckle for the cops. I was arrested and the cops were aiming about 10 machine guns at me because a random couple in the theatre told the cops I had a gun with bullets on me in the theatre… I also never had a gun with bullets on me either.. teeheehee I’m sure they were just joking too. I’ve had to give around $10,000 to the police in the last three years, and I’ve been raped 176 times since my first arrest… but ya, jail isn’t that bad. They’ll probably only keep you a week maximum if you didn’t go to your class. They are lenient sometimes.
