I just want to know, can I ask the DOJ to put me in jail without me having to commit a crime? Is this legally possible?

2 thoughts, along different lines. First, what is the legal definition of "incarceration" or "incarcerated"? Does it have to involve jail? Or could a person be incarcerated in, for example, a rehab centre...? There ARE lockdown facilities into which people commit themselves voluntarily. Second, as for jail, I suspect that the relevant legislation would describe a necessary link between the commission of a crime and any subsequent loss of personal freedom.

No you can't. It's too much of a liability. You can only be incarcerated in a Mental Facility voluntarily, but you need a good reason to do it.

I think if you are doing it for a good reason, like educational purposes, you might be able to work something out. Incarceration is expensive, so they won't frivolously hold people in jail.

no...you can't be incarcerated voluntarily--even protective custody
would not be so.,....still takes court order...
but in 99.99% of those locked up---its voluntarily acts on their part.

If you mean jail, no, not in my state. If you mean some sort of mental health facility, yes.

NO. You have to be sentenced for a crime.

yes it is protective custody but you can leave at any time
the code for it would be vol6000 and is not a penal code
