Instead of spending time in jail, you are allowed to live relatively freely provided that you obey the terms of your probation or supervised release. If you have been caught violating those terms, you could end up serving out the remainder of your sentence.

Violations of Probation and Supervised Release

You can be charged with a probation violation for a number of different reasons. First, committing any new crime is considered a probation violation. Next, you can be found in violation if you fail to comply with any of the terms of your release. This can include:

• Failure to perform mandatory community service in a timely fashion
• Failure to pay fines
• Failure to pay the costs of supervision
• Failure to follow through with court-recommended treatment or counseling

For any of these violations, you can be sent back to prison to serve the remainder of your sentence. If you are on felony probation, that can mean years in prison.
