Yes a jail sentence is mandatory for all DUI convictions in Arizona, the length depending on the specific charge and BAC level. However, in some cases, in some jurisdictions, an attorney can negotiate a plea to a non-DUI offense which might avoid a jail sentence. If you don't already have an attorney, feel free to call me to discuss more.
