Where you have to satisfy some conditions of behavior, doing community service, taking classes to rehab, etc. if you satisfy the conditions your sentence is reduced.
Get a good attorney and follow his advice. Your best bet to stay out of jail is a plea bargain. If you plead not guilty and go to trial jail time is more likely.
