What can I do or say to help me get house arrest instead of jail?

Four DUI's makes it hard to show a judge that you have turned your life around. In Wisconsin, the decision about releasing you from the jail on a bracelet is not up to the judge, but the sheriff (who runs the jail). You can start to show you've turned your life around by enrolling in some kind of serious counseling or treatment for alcohol abuse. You should really have a lawyer when the offence is a serious one, like the present one. Your lawyer might be able to work out something with the prosecutor and the jail to permit some kind of arrangement. Your date to turn yourself in to the jail might be subject to postponement under these circumstances as well. In Wisconsin you would have to spend the first four days of your sentence in the jail in any event.
