Positive Aspects Of A Weekend Jail Sentence
There might not be many positive things about an arrest for a misdemeanor crime for which you are found guilty, but one of the silver linings -- if your crime wasn't overly egregious -- is that you may be able to get a weekend jail sentence. Instead of doing straight time in a county facility, you can instead carry out your sentence on weekends. For example, you'd report to jail on Friday night and remain there until Sunday evening, and repeat this pattern until you've completed your sentence.
