You can, or the judge may give you a date to turn yourself in. It will be up to the judge.

Most judges will take your input about when you can serve a jail sentence, so that you do not lose a job or for other reasons.

A reporting date will be agreed upon between you and your attorney, the District Attorney and the Judge. In most cases, a short period of time is allowed before reporting so that you may get your affairs in order.

In most counties, you will be given a date to report to jail. Your date to report is usually about 2-3 weeks after your court appearance.

What about a suspended sentence assuming this is a misdemeanor first offense.
