If the judge finds that I have violated the terms or conditions of my PRCS, what are possible punishments?

If you are found to have violated the terms or conditions of your PRCS at a hearing, the judge, magistrate, or hearing officer can:

    Return you to PRCS supervision with modified (changed or new) conditions;
    Refer you to a special program or to a special “reentry court” for assessment for a special program;[802] OR
    Revoke (take away) your PRCS and order you to county jail for a maximum term of 180 days.[803]

NOTE: If you are ordered to serve county jail time for a PRCS violation, you can earn 2 days of good conduct credits for every 2 days you actually serve.[804]
