He is not going to get an ankle bracelet for a third DWI. He is going to get a jail sentence.

The person your son should be seeking to is the attorney who him. He has a better knowledge of the details of the situation and perhaps already posed that potential to the court. Given the fact it is the third DUI, it appears that the court is trying to impress your son with the seriousness of his transgressions.

He should ask his attorney, some jurisdictions do not permit sentences to be completed on electronic home detention. An attorney in the jurisdiction where his sentence was imposed should know the requirements for alternative sentencing, most counties have alternatives to county jail depending on the crime and the duration of the sentence.
