No negative responses please. This is serious.
Jail time in California on DUI's can vary. There is no set time limit for a jail sentance. However, after your 5th DUI it is an automatic prison sentance.

"Driving under the influence of alcohol is a very serious offense that endangers the lives of the driver and others that may be in their path. However, in most states, a second offense of DUI is not punishable by jail time. The usual punishments are probation time and fines."
There is no set jail time for specific offenses. In most states, a second DUI is a misdemeanor and punishable by up to one year in confinement.
If someone is on house arrest for DUI and they fail the breathalizer and they go to jail...Does anyone know if they will be in jail the rest of their sentence ? Do they get a second chance ?
Yes, a California DUI can be punished by jail time. The length of jail time can vary depending on factors such as prior DUI convictions, blood alcohol level, and any aggravating circumstances. Penalties for a DUI in California may also include fines, license suspension, and completion of a DUI education program.
In most states if you get a second DUI you will either get your license suspended or you will go to jail for a short period of time. Driving under the influence is very dangerous for yourself and others on the road.
I believe the minimum jail time just for the hit and run alone here in Indiana is 8 years. Its hard to say though considering this is a second DUI and the fact that i don't know what state you live in.
usually jail time
The main difference between a misdemeanor DUI and a felony DUI is the severity of the offense. A misdemeanor DUI typically involves first or second time offenses with no significant aggravating factors, while a felony DUI usually involves multiple DUI convictions, serious injury or death caused by driving under the influence, or other aggravating circumstances that elevate the offense to a felony level. Felony DUIs carry harsher penalties, including longer jail time and higher fines.
Generally with a second DUI the minimum jail sentence is 90 days. The fine is usually a minimum of $300 and the license can be revoked for at least a year.
You will be charged with a second offense DUI. This means you will lose your license, be fined and face possible jail time. If you receive another one, it will be a felony DUI with very serious consequences. Below is an article on second offense DUI.
