Most of the time, everything depends on the county where you were arrested. See the California DUI Lawyers Association for more information - http://www.California-DUI-Lawyers.org

DUI / DWI Attorney in Newport Beach, CA.
Getting a LOCAL DUI attorney is key, as Mr. Dale suggests. For example, I see you are in Salinas, CA. I am in Orange County, CA. Here, the prosecution and judge would likely offer you 60 days in jail (or more), plus probation, fines, and DUI classes. Just 5 minutes north of here, in Los Angeles, you would likely be offered only 4 days in jail with the other conditions. Check out the CDLA site Mr. Dale suggested to find a local experienced DUI attorney.

The answer to your question truly depends on where you will be going to court. In the areas that I practice, Alameda and Contra Costa County, you would be looking at a range of 10 days to 30 days in a work alternative to jail program. However, this can vary from court to court and judge to judge.
Find a DUI specialist in your area to help you. California DUI Lawyers is a valuable resource.

I actually went through the same thing...I was still on probation and driving on a suspended license when I got my 2nd DUI (3 weeks later). I was held in jail for 2 days and bailed out $7500 later. I went to court, the judge had me do 96 hours of community service, 2 days of a work release program, he issued an Ignition Interlock Device on my car for 3 years, probation for 5 years and ordered to do an 18 month DUI program... Also had to pay standard fines for 2nd offense DUI, along with DUI program fees...And now I'm almost done, $10000 later!
