Re: second charge
If the second violation happens to constitute a violation of any probationary status which you may still have with respect to the first charge, it's possible that at some point(if you're convicted of a probation violation charge) that you could do some time in the slammer.
Otherwise, jail would seem unlikely under these particular circumstances.
I would advise, nevertheless, that if at all possible, you secure the services of a competent criminal defense counsel to represent you in this matter.
