A DUI is typically a misdemeanor until the third offense, upon which it becomes a felony. The punishment for third strike felony DUIs is much more severe and typically involves jail time.
Below is an article on felony DUI.
Another View: If the DUI results in a death or serious bodily injury it can be charged as a felony on the first offense.
Added: The number of offenses required to make it a felony varies from state to state. While many states consider a third offense a felony, many states do not. In some states, it is a 4th or a 5th that becomes a felony. However, in all states, subsequent offenses are punished more harshly than the first.
