Generally, a first offense DUI conviction requires a minimum of 48 hours jail, in addition to the fines, court costs and the loss of your driver’s license. For most law abiding citizens the thought of ANY jail time is a scary thought.
There is an alternative to jail time for a DUI first in Tennessee.
In Tennessee, the law now permits jail to be served at alternative privately operated facilities. These facilities also allow you to complete classes which are required as a condition to receiving probation.
