Re: Violating supervised probation
The judge, if feeling light-hearted and in a spring-like mood, might agree to give you another chance and to renew your probation with added conditions.
However, if his or her mood were of a darker stripe, you could be going back to jail.
Of course, the black robed one would also give due consideration to all of the other relevant facts and background information regarding your case which have not been disclosed in your question but which the judge would be judicially and ethically bound to consider before making either of the above referenced decisions.
Good luck with it, (and see if you can round up the lawyer who represented you on the underlying charge before your hearing on this matter.)
