Re: Violation of probation

That depends on the violation and the circumstances. The penalty can be as harsh as a return to prison to serve the remainder of the sentence. If the actions that violated probation were also a crime in their own right, the violator can be prosecuted for this crime; his sentence on the new crime would be in addition to the original sentence.
