If you are arrested and held overnight, will you have to wear prison clothes?

This is a follow up to another question...If you are arrested for a suspended driving license which you forgot to renew and you are held overnight (or over the weekend if its friday - assuming the town does not have preset bail amounts so you cannot be released without first seeing a judge), will you have to wear prison clothes while you are in jail or will you wear what they arrested you in?





Also, when you go in front of the judge for setting the bail, will you wear the prison jumpsuit or your own clothes and will you be handcuffed/shackled?|||In Minnesota, yeah. I was in jail for a simple traffic violation once. I was arrested because I failed to appear in court, so I had a warrant. :( Lesson learned!





I had to wear the orange jumpsuit and shackles both while in jail and to the courthouse where I was handcuffed to the bench until court was out. Then I had to go back to the jail and wait to be released later that day.It wasn't cool. lol|||It would be depend on what locale you were arrested in. But, I can't imagine a small or even medium sized township investing money (especially with the way the economy is) in prison garb for a motor vehicle offender ...Can you? This has got to be a joke posting..|||You'll be wearing your own clothes. There is a difference between jail and prison.|||Last New Years Eve I was at a friends house and the cops came and broke-up are small party (there was only like 10 people) because neighbors complained about the noise... The cops knew that everyone had been drinking and most of us were underage, BUT the cops didn't care about that or the fact they had drunk drivers taking people home they made everyone (but the people who live in the house) leave...





We stopped at a gas station down the street from the house and the copse busted us ( my boyfriend %26amp; I were te only ones who got out of the car ) for being "drunk in public" and took only me %26amp; him to jail... We did not get finger-printed or mug shot, but we did ave to stay for 12 hours (lock-down) and had to strip down and wear orange jumpsuits. They really look like prison clothes. After the 12 hours we were let go, te simply gave us our stuff and sent us walking, me being drunk the night before had no shoes and was in a skimpy *** dress.. It was a fun Night? lol





So to answer your question, yes if you stay overnight you will have to wear the suits. We each ad our own "cell" but it was like a little concrete room with a real door with a 2 way mirror and a toilet and bunk beds, it didn't have bars like the movies.





Hope that helped.
