If he was on a direct sentence to community corrections, he gets no hearing. He can be regressed to a prison. Direct sentence to community corrections is a sentence to the executive branch of state government, so his removal is all internal to DOC. If he was sentenced to probation, the judicial branch still has jurisdiction. That means he cannot be removed from probation without a revocation hearing before a judge.
