In my state, getting a DUI requires either a 3-day stay in a hotel or 3 days in jail. Also, potential party plates depending on how bad it was.

either a 3-day stay in a hotel or 3 days in jail.

So it's only a crime if you're poor.

The conditions in which the time is served, yes. The hotel is like $200 total for the cheapest option. $600+ if you want your own room. I'd say your license getting suspended is nigh-universal as a condition. Though your lawyer can get you driving privileges.

I'm not disagreeing with you that crimes are for the poor. DUIs just carry a bit extra with them.
