General Prison Questions-Terminology

How long will someone get locked up for a parole violation?

It depends on the violation, the judge hearing the case and if it's the judge that originally sentenced them the re-sentencing could be quite harsh.

It depends on the violation, the judge hearing the case and if it's the judge that originally sentenced them the re-sentencing could be quite harsh. The time could be a few weeks and all the way up to the entire amount of the sentence that was remaining when they were granted parole.
