Violation of Probation
If a violation is found the Judge does not have to impose a jail sentence, however, he cannot impose one year instead of two. If the Court decides to impose a jail term it is "all or nothing." The Court has options short of imposing a full jail sentence, but the sentence will most likely depend on the violation alleged, the facts and circumstances of the underlying crime you were convicted of and your criminal history. If possible, speak with a criminal defense attorney prior to appearing in court to answer on the probation violation.

Editor's Response
Attorney Gaughen is correct. When there is a violation of probation, if the judge decides jail time is appropriate, she will impose the entire balance, less any credits you have for for time served. You may still become eligible for early release if you are incarcerated in the House of Corrections. If you have not done so already, you should immediately contact your criminal defense lawyer. Good luck.
