You must go to the dmv to get your privilege reinstated.There may be a way to stay out of jail please call (714)838-9019.
What happened to you unfortunately happens to many people - you think by doing the things required of you, your license is back to full status, but you didn't actually finish all the requirements by paying the reinstatement fee.
They likely charged you with 14601.2 - driving on a suspended license because of a DUI conviction. That comes with mandatory jail, an ignition interlock requirement and fines ...IF you are convicted of that section.
Instead - your focus should be to get an attorney that can represent you and either get this dismissed or get the DA to change the code section to one that does not have the jail and interlock requirements.
Getting your license reinstated immediately will be the best thing you can do at this moment. Then get an attorney.
