Second dui jail time
If convicted of a second dui within
5years can the mandatory 10 days be
served in rehab in lieu of jail or do you
HAVE to do the 10 days in a jail cell?

Very likely that any "rehab" you do will all be done in the slammer for 10 days rather than at a Betty Ford type center.
Re: Second dui jail time
Hello: I saw you already rec'd. an answer, but wanted to give you a contact in North Fla. should you need one. The State Attorney and the judge would have to agree to your request. I guess one factor is the definition of "incarceration"...for the 10 days. House arrest is usually a complyng sentence. I don't know if they would consider in patient rehab as incarceration...you can ask though. They most likely would NOT consider out patient rehab as satisfying the 10 days. Good luck. Tom Rosenblum
