So yes, you can go to jail. However, jail is not usually the first option for first and second offenses. In some cases, instead of jail, defendants may receive penalties like community service, education classes and restitution in lieu of jail time.
Third degree felonies are the least serious type of felony, and are punishable by a shorter prison sentence and smaller fines.
History of Three-Strike Laws Many other states followed suit. Today, more than half of states (including Nevada), along with the federal government, have enacted similar three-strike laws. The objective is the containment of recidivism. Nevada's three-strikes law is codified in NRS 207.010 through 207.016.

The penalty for a Class C misdemeanor conviction is typically a fine of up to $500. Paying this fine is an admission of guilt. There is no jail time for a conviction. This makes Class C misdemeanors different from all other misdemeanors and felonies.
Illinois punishes Class 3 felonies with a potential prison term of two to five years. This means that the answer to whether or not one can go to prison for such an offense is “yes.” It is important to remember, however, that such offenses will typically be probationable.
If a person charged with a class 3 felony has never been convicted of a felony before, then probation may be an option.
A defendant convicted of a third-degree felony faces up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. (This maximum can increase if the offender used a dangerous weapon, commits repeat felonies, or other factors exist.) Repeat stalking and child endangerment (exposure to drugs) are third-degree felonies.
The least serious misdemeanors are classified as Class C or Level Three. These crimes can result in fines and jail time of up to a year, and may also offer the chance of probation.
