Yes, in addition to the longer license suspension periods described above, the other DUI penalties also increase with each additional DUI. A second offense, within a five (5) year period, in the State of RI or in any other state, will include mandatory jail time, as well as enhanced fines, and mandatory counseling. Even if the convictions do not occur within five (5) years of each other, prosecutors may still use prior DUI and refusal convictions to enhance your sentence.
