You will stay in jail until your trial is over and you're sentenced. Then they will look for a place in a prison for you to go. It can take months.

If the failure to register offense is a felony and the DA wants to send you to prison, you could go right away if you pled out. Or you could wait for as long as a year or so, but probably not for a failure to register offense. If the DA just wants probation, you won't go to prison.
However, if the DA does want prison, you may very well end up there. It depends on the specific situation. In California, statutory rape isn't a registrable offense. Of course, if you mean something other than statutory rape, such as sex with a minor under 16 when you were more than 10 years older or sex with a minor under 14, then it isn't just statutory rape. That would make it registrable and a strike. If it's a strike and the judge doesn't strike the strike, you will go to prison for between 32 months and 6 years.
If the registration violation is a misdemeanor, you won't go to prison. Unless your DUI is a felony as they are once in a while depending on how many DUIs you have in your past or if you injured someone because of your DUI.
The point is that there are lots of variables. Listen to your attorney and listen very carefully. Attorneys, especially public defenders, know their stuff and understand your individual situation better than anyone including you and certainly better than any jailhouse lawyers who don't know jack.

I knew a guy who was in the county jail for about seven months when I was there. He was a rapist, who was also my roommate. We got along fine. He was in for something called third degree rape, which I had never even heard of. It seems he got some girl drunk before he had his wicked way with her. I was only in jail for three weeks. A couple of months after I got out, he got sent to the state prison, after his trial.
I knew another guy who was a good citizen type until fate gave him a chance to steal millions of dollars. He just couldn't resist, and he ended up doing three years, even though he never actually got his hands on a single penny. He wasn't the typical jailbird, and they let him serve the entire sentence at the county jail, where he was a trusty.
My former roommate got some tattoo and body-piercing equipment before he got in trouble. He bought it on the Internet, and did very cheap work. He even put a ring into his own body. They took it out when he got to jail, but he still had to sit down to pee. He was quite an artist, and he made money giving tattoos at the state pen. He got caught, but nothing much happened.

Depending upon the laws of the state in which you reside, I'd say that prison is a very likely subject in your future.
