Re: 3rd offense within 10 years
The Statute does not "demand" jail time. There are many options when defending or prosecuting a DWI. Treatment is (or, at least, should be) the first option but you will need someone familiar with the prosecutors, judges and policies of the jurisdiction you are in. Good Luck and be well.
Re: 3rd offense within 10 years
Generally, after the first offense the second and third offense within 10 years is chargeable as a Felony.
There are not necessarily any mandatory jail sentences, as i have personally handled many such cases where there have been multiple DWI offenses within the ten year period and have not had a client serve time.
