In certain circumstances, second time offenders might be eligible for home arrest. There are several requirements that must be satisfied before a person may be accepted into this program.
The probation department's approval is necessary before the court will place someone in the home arrest program.
The home arrest sentence may include forty-eight consecutive hours in jail, thirteen days on work release, and forty-five days of home detention. The person will be allowed to leave the home to work, attend school, or attend treatment.
If a conviction is completely unavoidable, the help of a skilled and experienced DUI attorney could prove extremely beneficial in obtaining a Home Arrest sentence instead of straight jail time. |
