If probation is revoked, the probationer is sentenced again for the crime for which he or she was originally charged. There is a much higher likelihood of jail time for a violation of probation, because, in the eyes of the court, a defendant has failed to take advantage of the opportunity that he or she was given when probation was granted. In some cases, judges take it personally when defendants don’t follow their orders while on probation. For many defendants, probation is revoked and they are sentenced to jail quickly and without realizing the seriousness of their situation. It is critically important that a defendant be able to effectively communicate their side of the story anytime they are faced with a charge of violation of probation.
