Where can I get a prison/jail uniform?

[Description]

Well, commiting crimes is fun, but that would require me to leave the house. :roll:
There's no way to purchase one? What company makes them? Is there an order form?

Eh, I'll check eBay in a few weeks.

You might be able to get it from a supplier, but it wouldn't have numbers or ID from a correctional facility. I'm thinking that you probably wouldn't be able to, though, since selling something like that would usually occur in bulk and be limited to government agencies.

Don't want to leave the house, eh? How about a completely different approach: http://www.prisonpenpals.com/

You could become someone's "boy" on the outside without ever leaving the house... until your new friend hits you up for a conjugal visit.

First time DUI. The laws are a joke for first time DUI offenders.

Obviously from someone that knows the system.....

1) you don't get prision gear for an overtime stay. You will have to surrender your belt, jewelry and anything in your pockets.

2) 1st time DUI is not a joke, it's actually about as unconstitutional as you can get, there is no due process, you are forced to 8-12 hours of jail time (for observation?!?), and you can be arrested even if you pass the breath test and roadside.

3) DUI is not even a big issue, it's painted to be one. Sure it is sad when someone gets smashed and kills someone, but in reality for the amounts of money generated in campaigning as well as the government costs to run the programs the only ones getting screwed are everyday people who have 1 or 2 drinks and get stopped. The average arrest is one right at the brink of the 'limit'. DUI related accidents and fatalites are a mere blip compared to accidents and fatalities outside of it. Even more interesting are studies where many (not most) were unavoidable accidents and even those caused by the other driver.

4) The testing is flawed on the basis the the breathalyzer is measuring blood in your respiration. Many have different levels. Also any gastric or oral bleeding will greatly magnify your results. I had a busted lip the night of my arrest, drank 4 beers which I had a receipt for with my 'dining' time which was over 4 hours. I 'blew' a 0.168. I weighed about 185 at the time. Fortunately if you have cash and are in Florida you can merely pay the sh1t away. In New York or New Jersey you get your car permanently impounded.

Another tidbit is you can be arrested for DUI by simply having your keys within 25 feet of the car, you can be arrested washing your car in your own driveway while drinking (there was a New York or New Jersey guy that had a $50k corvette impounded detailing it while drinking in his garage.), sleeping in your back seat to avoid driving, etc.

The laws are bs.

There are plenty of prison supply websites online though that you can buy even the prision soap from, in case you miss it.

1. True.

2. There's always probable cause. You can argue the "due process" when they're thrown in the drunk tank to sober up, but in places with public drunkenness laws you can't really argue that. Also, when a person passes the breathalyzer and FST they cannot be arrested for DUI.

3. Actually, most DUI arrests are WAY ABOVE the legal limit. The limit in ND (and most states now) is .08. Our most common arrests come around the .15 and above level...not even close to the legal limit. Those that are close to the limit are usually not driving erratically enough to draw our attention. If they are pulled over and are near or slightly above the limit, it's not unusual for an Officer to allow them to catch a ride from someone more able to drive, provided that they're cooperative and polite.

4. Anyone arrested for DUI may request a blood test to verify or disprove the results of the breathalyzer, if the Officer doesn't have one administered in the first place.

The other things you mention must be area-specific. Here you can be arrested for DUI if you're sitting in the drivers seat of a vehicle with the keys in the ignition, but not that 25 foot thing. I'd like to see some documentation on that, too, if possible.

Incorrect FST are optional to begin with, they are only really done mostly to record for court...most people appear drunk doing these tests.

The breath test also is merely a way to have evidence in court, in florida they do not do them roadside. Also it will only show alcohol so an officer is allowed to make a judgement call and make that arrest for 'observation'.

I don't know where you got those facts. You do realize most jails are 'full' friday/saturday night with those that just barely failed the DUI breath test. The whole 'officer allowing you to call a ride' is very subjective. I was arrested in my driveway and they still towed my car.

4. Anyone arrested for DUI may request a blood test to verify or disprove the results of the breathalyzer, if the Officer doesn't have one administered in the first place.

Search DUI laws, it's all in there. Much of it is very ambiguous and none of it seems constitutional at all if you read it from someone who is wrongfully accused.

I had justification in my defense, but you have to hire 'expert' witnesses, you cannot represent yourself with facts on problems with the arrest or machines. Your witnesses must be at each hearing and for most DUI's you will have at least 2. Also if you are contesting it you CANNOT drive at all until your final hearing, you give up your Work-only license that is often granted during the probation period....the average time to a second trial here was a little over a year when I was arrested.

I elected to pay it out at about $4000 when all was said in done with fees, rides, classes, lost wages, etc.

Many have a very incorrect understanding of the whole process.

2. The officer doesn't have to administer both, but to prove that the person is intoxicated they must administer some sort of test. You can't just catch a whiff of booze and slap on the cuffs--that case would be thrown out pretty damn fast.

3. I get these facts from officers that I've worked and ridden with. Of course it's subjective, a lot of law enforcement is--it's called discretion.

4. Again, DUI generally falls under state law, so there could be 50 different ways that it's handled. What they do down in Florida is probably significantly different than what we do up here in ND. Therefore, officer discretion and department policy will be different. I have the form for DUI, which effectively replaces the person's drivers license, in the next room. I'm sure the form itself is much different than what you've experienced due to the aforementioned reasons.
