Legal Question in DUI Law in California
Third DUI
I was recently cited for my third DUI. The first two were 4 and five years ago respectively, so that puts me at a total of three within a seven year period. My question is whether or not alternative sentencing is available for a third offense or if jail time is always mandatory.

Re: Third DUI
Jail time is mandatory. The court, depending upon the county, may have several options for serving the jail sentence. Work furlough, electronic monitoring, and weekend work programs.
