If your husband "already completed his time" for this offense, he wouldn't get ANY more time.
It sounds like he was on probation, served some jail time as a condition of probation, and is now facing some sort of probation violation for not completing all of his terms of probation.
Generally speaking, if it is a misdemeanor, he would serve two-thirds of any jail sentence.
If it's a felony, classified as violent in Penal Code 667.5(c), he would do 85% of any prison sentence imposed.
If it isn't a violent felony, but he has a prior conviction that is classified as a "strike" under the "Three Strikes" law , he would have to serve 80% of a prison sentence before he was eligible for parole.
For other felonies, he would serve half of any state prison sentence.
