2. How does going to jail affect the rest of your life? I mean my daughter is going to college and she was working at the book store there. Will she be able to go back and will she still be able to find work? This is county jail again not prison

8. What kind of advice should I give her before I drop her off?
2. Generally, it would be very difficult for her to find a job, and yet she should be able to at least enroll in some schools. However, we can't really assess her future employment opportunity since we don't know what is her conviction. If her conviction is relevant to the profession itself, then the chance is very slim.

8. what kind of punishment is she receiving? indeterminate or determinate sentence? If it is an indeterminate sentence, then she may be qualified for early release based on good behavior.

"I understand she needs to be punished" - The goal of punishment does not only encompass retributive value. We also want to make sure that she does not commit a crime again, which can be a general deterrence that has to do with public's welfare.

Well, Good Luck
