How long can I be sentenced to jail time for a probation revocation?

It depends on what your original conviction was for. When your probation is revoked and terminated, the court may—if the original sentence was suspended—now sentence you to jail for the longest period (the maximum sentence) that you could have originally been sentenced for the specific crime you were convicted of committing.[866]
