There is no set punishment for criminal offenses. The court will consider the relevant state law, the circumstances of the event, and any aggravating or mitigating factors.

In most states, a first offense DUI is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail.

A driver must spend twenty four hours in jail if convicted of a DUI.

ANSWER

A driver will spend about 24 hours in jail if ARRESTED for a DUI. This is done so the offender can sober up. Once convicted they may spend anywhere from no more jail time to up to one year. This is at the discretion of the sentencing judge.
