Do you mean the 5 year suspension or three years prison? Would need more information in order to answer.
What your punishment will be depends on a number of factors, such as where you were arrested, who the prosecutor is and who the Judge is. You are facing a maximum of five years on the new charge, as it is a third degree felony. That does not mean you will actually get five years, or even serve any time at all. You also face the administrative penalty of a five year license suspension. If you don't have a lawyer, you need one.
