What is the sentence for a violation when it is for the original charge?
My husband is back in got 5 yrs, he's got a lot of time on this same charge, how can I get his time looked at to maybe use it for time served or is it different when they get revoked from probation?

If he went back in on a violation, the original sentence is what he is probably going to serve.

If he went back in on a violation, the original sentence is what he is probably going to serve. When an inmate gets granted leniency and then violates, the courts are not happy. They are not happy because it makes them look bad in deciding to give that offender a break. Usually no second chances there.
