Prison usually refers to the behavior of criminals who are sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, life imprisonment or criminal detention by the people's court for violating the provisions of the criminal law and serving their sentences in prison. Prison is a kind of criminal punishment, which shows that the perpetrator's criminal behavior has constituted a crime stipulated in the criminal law and needs to be tried and punished by national laws.
In drunk driving cases, if the perpetrator does not constitute a crime, he will not go to jail, but he will be sentenced to administrative detention and may face administrative penalties such as fines. If drunk driving causes serious consequences, such as serious injury or death caused by traffic accidents, it may constitute a crime, such as traffic accidents. At this time, criminal responsibility will be investigated, and criminal punishment such as fixed-term imprisonment may be imposed, which requires imprisonment.
The detention period in the detention center can be reduced to a subsequent sentence, which is not recorded in the personal file, and generally will not affect the individual's future employment and loans. But if drunk driving is recorded as a crime, you will go to jail, and your criminal record will affect your employment and going abroad. Therefore, the serious consequences of drunk driving may lead to a series of chain reactions in personal life and work.
Generally speaking, drunk driving detention and imprisonment are different concepts. Drunk driving detention is an administrative punishment, while imprisonment is a statutory punishment for criminal acts. The public should fully realize the serious harm of drunk driving, abide by traffic laws and regulations, drive safely, and avoid irreparable losses to themselves and others.
