In short, you can't.

Disposition after a finding of violation of probation is up to the judge.

A violation of probation can result in the full revocation of the original sentence, or a shorter period of jail time as "punishment" followed by a reinstatement to probation, or added conditions for probation, and so on.

But the first and most important question is whether or not the person has violated probation.Only if the person is first found to be in violation does that person have to worry about consequences.
