My bf's nephew got caught again. I think he should stay in and learn his lesson but his granpa's trying to get him out. I doubt he'll be able to considering he just had his last D.U.I sometime last year. I think he should stay in jail and then go to a rehab.

It's depends on the judge, the region, and how high the BAC was. Usually it's 15 days, sometimes the judge will allow the drunk to do iit all on the weekend if his job depends on him showing up.

Depends if he was still on probation or parole from the first one. In Texas most DUI are given a suspended 4-6 month jail sentence and placed on probation between 1 and 2 years. A second DUI gets them a monitor on their vehicle in which they have to blow into it to allow the ignition to work. That's automatic plus additional fines probation or even jail time. if they were on probation from the 1st offense the original suspended jail sentence is put in place. Then they have to go court for the second offense. Not cool, this is a warning to stop drinking.
But in the end it is still up to the judge. Ive seen some people get jail for a second offense while others drive their car through a convenience store wall and all they get is more probation. go figure.

Depending on the amount of time between each D.U.I. conviction. If close in time and depending on the amount of people in the jails in your state it could vary.
The courts are not having any mercy on these offenses anymore. Your likely to get some jail time unless you enter a rehab treatment center and stick to it.
Kinda iffy really.
Get the help your needing.

Excellent Question. Without proper legal counseling I have seen scenarios were a 90 day sentence has been handed down. You will be unlikley to have the charge reduced to reckless driving because of the previous traffic conviction. I would reccomend some legal advice before making a plea. If you were going to go to jail you wouldnt look at more then 3 months at the max and that would be extreme

Every fact will be taken into consideration, including blood alcohol level and if there was any other consequence caused by either offense. I have heard that it is usually 90 days. It differs from each state, but they are getting more common to eachother.

In Canada if the 2nd DUI is within 7years of the first one, there is an automatic 2week jail sentence.

Get a good lawyer,if you can buy a good enough lawyer, you may not have to do more than the mandatory 24 hours.there are many factors that always take consideration, especially if you are alredy on deferred.
