What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Mississippi

I recently got a DUI charge in Hattiesburg, MS in early May. I plead guilty and received a $1400 fine and probation. Well, for various reasons I skipped out on probation and moved out of state. Now, I am back in MS and wanting to get this charge taken care of. I have no money at all, and so, I plan on turning myself in a getting time served. This is my first offense of any kind. I've never been to jail or arrested before. My record is spotless. What I want to know is how much time I should expect, and whether or not turning myself in and having a clean record will affect the amount of time I serve.

Thanks

What is your "first offense"? The DUI or the probation violation?
