probation because of his or her inability to pay.
   (b) Every person who, having been convicted of violating
subdivision (i) or (k) of Section 647, commits a second or subsequent
violation of subdivision (i) or (k) of Section 647, shall be
punished by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, by
a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by both that
fine and imprisonment, except as provided in subdivision (c).
   (c) Every person who, having been previously convicted of
violating subdivision (i) or (k) of Section 647, commits a violation
of paragraph (3) of subdivision (k) of Section 647 regardless of
whether it is a first, second, or subsequent violation of that
paragraph, shall be punished by imprisonment in a county jail not
exceeding one year, by a fine not exceeding five thousand dollars
($5,000), or by both that fine and imprisonment.
