Probation violation is stupid. Inmates that are granted an early release need to be smart enough to follow the guidleines so this doesnt happen again. And the judges penalize the stupidity, or more brazenly the disregard for the judge's previous leiniency. Your boyfriend could be sentenced to finishing his original sentence. He got his break last time, this time he will not be given that good fortune. Hopefully, this time he learns his lesson... i learned my lesson and didn't violate.
