license suspension for dui in Louisiana??

I am finding conflicting info on license suspension times for dui in Louisiana. I've read 90 days for 1st failure, 1 year for 2nd, and 2 years for 3rd of 4th offense. I've also read that it's 2 years for 1st offense failure, 4 years for 2nd and I don't even know 3rd or 4th. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

The below information is copied word for word from the link at the bottom.
First Offense
  • Up to six months in jail.
  • Fined up to $1,000, in addition to court costs.
Second Offense
  • Mandatory 48 hours in jail.
  • Up to six months of additional jail time.
  • Fined up to $1,000, in addition to court costs.
Third Offense
  • Mandatory 30 days in jail.
  • Up to 5 years in prison.
  • Possible home confinement.
  • Fined up to $2,000, in addition to court costs.
  • Possible loss of vehicle.
  • Six weeks in an inpatient substance abuse program, plus 12 months in an outpatient substance abuse program.
Fourth Offense
  • Mandatory 30 days in jail.
  • Up to 30 years in prison.
  • Possible home confinement for 5 years.
  • Fined up to $5,000, in addition to court costs.
  • Possible loss of vehicle.
  • Six weeks in an inpatient substance abuse program, plus 12 months in an outpatient substance abuse program.
First and second convictions of DWI earn you a criminal record. Third and fourth convictions land you a felony criminal record.

Your judge may even require you to enroll in a driver improvement program or work on community service projects. You must pay for all costs associated with these requirements.

You can't drive, you're broke, you're in jail, and you may have killed someone. That good time doesn't quite seem worth it now, does it?
